Hives, also known as urticaria, are reddened, itchy swollen rash (called welts) that may be triggered by exposure to certain foods, medications or other substances. The rash is usually very itchy and ranges in size from a few millimetres to the size of a hand. They can appear anywhere on the body, including the face, lips, tongue, throat, or ears.

Homeopathy medicines for urticaria treat the condition very effectively. Homeopathy heals skin diseases effectively, following a mild and safe approach. Medicines are more curative rather than suppressive in treating urticaria. Homeopathy treats urticaria in two phases. In the first phase, the acute episode of urticaria is treated. In the second phase, these medicines treat the chronic tendency towards urticaria.
