Abstract:
Urticaria, or hives, presents as sudden, pruritic wheals on the skin triggered by various factors including allergens, infections, medications, or physical stimuli. Conventional treatments primarily focus on symptom management with antihistamines and steroids. In contrast, homoeopathy offers a holistic approach addressing both the acute symptoms and underlying susceptibilities of the individual.
This case study explores the management of chronic urticaria in a 21-year-old male who turned to homoeopathy due to dissatisfaction with conventional therapies. The patient suffered from recurrent episodes of erythematous wheals and intense itching exacerbated by stress and specific foods. Comprehensive case analysis revealed his sensitive nature, aversion to conflict, and emotional distress from interpersonal relationships.
Homoeopathic treatment was tailored to his unique symptom profile and constitutional characteristics. Remedies were prescribed based on symptom similarity and repertorization. The approach aimed not only to alleviate immediate symptoms but also to address deeper emotional factors contributing to the condition. Within 15 days, the patient showed significant improvement with reduced frequency and intensity of urticarial episodes.
This case underscores homoeopathy's potential as an effective alternative or complementary treatment for urticaria, emphasizing personalized care that considers the patient's overall health and emotional well-being. Further research is necessary to validate these findings and elucidate the mechanisms by which homoeopathic remedies exert their therapeutic effects in managing urticaria.
