Hi buckets, unfortunately I am not myself trained in chinese medecines or homeopathic medecines, I was just cured by them so they made me into a believer. Acupuncture by an acupunturist who is specialized in these outbreaks relives you instantly with one treatment and depending on your condition you can go once a week or more/less. Above all I recommend you book an appointment with a homeopath who knows what he/she is doing (a lot of not properly trained ones out there I am afraid). The homeopathic medecines take care of the immune system reaction, the cause itself. They simply add small doses of a natural substance to make the body reverse its reaction, it is fascinating. You have your result within a couple days (otherwise u stop and try other substances) however to cure the urticaria you need to continue the regime a longer time until the body is fully deprogrammed even if you have no outbreaks like in my case.

I was in italy (i am swedish but currently a year in new york working) when I got this horried horried reaction to the sun, the urticaria got out of hand. I had the conditon before but the sun was so hot I got worse. Desparate I got the contact information to a medical doctor who also was a homeopath in that town. Italy is one of those countries were hoemopathic medecines are still big and respected along side modern medecines. He gave me a tailored regime to follow, I am not joking but within a couple of days they were all gone, and I was on the brink of giving up then! So now I am off the medication.. Very happy story and my body doesn't react with urticaria when stressed, in sun etc anymore.

He told me to stay off tomato (causes itch), all kinds of cheese, tuna, milk , cigaretts and alcohol for 6 months. A lot of stuff and he was right, what we eat really effects us far more than we are aware of. I have learnt so much from these people, to see our bodies and mind in one and why the nody reacts as it does..

Well each regime is tailored, I got a regime of ribes nigrum, apis mellifica and formidium d6.

Get in touch with a organization that certifies homeopaths or similar to find out were to find a good one who knows your condition. There are also different schools, I have to recommend the italian approach as it worked for me with combinational regimes. If you ever pass italy (alassio), I still have the contact information to the doctor who changed my life!

Take care
