Facts and Myths About Urticaria

There are several common beliefs about food allergies that cause urticaria or the rash or welts. Myths about the causes have also been proven to be false by evidence based scientific researches. Read on several food allergy and rash myths that should be debunked and corrected:

- Most people, who think they have the condition due to food allergy, actually do.

This is a myth. More than twenty percent of Americans who believe their condition is due to a certain food are mistaken. Pruritic rashes or wheals can be attributed to various causes like heat, cold or even stress.

- The most common food allergy in kids is peanut allergy.

This is a myth. Studies have shown that the most common cause of urticaria secondary to food allergy in kids is milk or dairy products.

Children may outgrow their food sensitivities that cause urticaria. This is another popular myth that should be corrected. Although it is true that allergies to certain food are outgrown, it is very rare. Among common food that causes urticaria, milk, egg and soy allergies are among the likeliest to resolve as the child grows old but allergies caused by nuts or shellfish usually persist until adulthood.

- They are always a sign of food allergy

This is a myth. It is a common sign of food allergy but people should be informed that there are other causes. These are rashes caused by a reaction to an insect bite or a certain drug. In fact, it can also be caused by heat, cold or some viral infection.

Facts that patients should be aware of

Urticaria or what is commonly known as hives is a skin lesion that is characterized by raised, red and itchy wheals that can appear in any part of the body. Most of the time it is localized but there are certain people who suffer from generalized urticaria rash every now and then.

There are practical remedies of urticaria that you can apply at home while waiting to see your doctor is cold compress, calamine lotion or even a combination of baking soda and warm water. Localized form can be treated at home, but it is crucial that a patient suffering from generalized or recurrent and refractory form should be seen by a specialist for better management.

Different form of allergy and its treatment in homoeopathy

ALLERGY

It is a commonly used term. Those who suffer from allergy they take it as a part and parcel of life. They believe it has no treatment. But the fact is allergy is an immune disorder and it is perfectly curable in homoeopathy. Because in homoeopathy the immune system is stimulated in order to cure a disease.

Let us first understand allergy at a glance.

It is the hypersensitive reaction of the body towards certain substances called allergen. Allergen can be dust, smoke, any food or vegetable or any weather, any smell, sun light etc. Allergy can affect people of all age groups

Cause-

a. Lack of body immunity

b. Increased body sensitivity

c. Family history of skin or respiratory or any major illness.

d. history of suppressed skin disease by external application or antibiotics.

The symptoms of allergy mainly appearing on skin and respiratory system are as follows-

1. Dust allergy- On slight exposure to dust; even from sweeping a floor, from opening an old news paper, fume from kitchen do you get itching in eyes and nose? Then sneezing for a long time which is followed by runny nose and eyes? If yes, then you are suspected of having dust allergy.

You are scarred of doing morning walk as the sweepress on the road may be sweeping and the dusty surrounding may aggravate your dust allergy. You don’t like to do evening walk as the home coming vehicles leave the road full of smoke and fume. The moment you inhale that air, the sneezing starts.

Tips-Avoid exposure to dusty environment and use a cloth to cover your nose while passing through a dusty road.

2. Allergic rhinitis-Sneezing starts early in the morning as soon as you wash your face. Constant sneezing followed by running nose and eye. This often is followed by headache (sinusitis). In winter the condition is worse. Constant itching and irritation in eyes cause redness of eyes. Watery discharge from nose is acrid which causes erosion of skin of nostrils.

Tip- Use leukwarm water for washing the face in morning and bathing.

3. Frequent sore throat-Does slight intake of cold drink, pickle, sour food, fruits, exposure to air condition etc. cause throat irritation, pain in throat with difficult swallowing etc. ? It may be pharyngitis and tonsillitis. Sometimes these symptoms lead to viral fever. You avoid watching movie in theatre as exposure to A. C will affect you. You avoid joining a party as you can’t have cold drinks there. If these are your problem then homoeopathy has a lasting solution for you.

Tip- Avoid the fruit with citric acid and other food causing sore throat.

4. Sinusitis- There are 4 pairs of sinus (air filled pockets) present in our face. In cases of recurrent respiratory tract infection these sinuses gat infected and leads to headache. Headache from head bath, frontal headache, headache between the eyebrows, at the root of the nose, around the eyebrows , swelling of eyelids with heaviness in head, can’t bow down the head etc. are the main symptoms of sinusitis.

Tips- Avoid cold exposure, dry the hairs immediately upon taking head bath.

5. Asthma- If the above given complaints are not taken care of then often they lead to bronchitis or asthma. Here you have shortness of breath because of contraction of airway muscles. The attack may come with or without sweating. Craving for air makes you restless. It compels you to use nasal spray. But gradually the doses of the spray increases making your body resistant to that. Other side effects also get added.

For example- Steroids used for asthma reduces adrenaline in body. Hence it is followed by fatigue, tiredness etc.

Triggers- winter, cold drink, citric fruit, lying down posture, exposure to dust, smoke etc. are the aggravating factors for asthmatic attack.

Tip-Avoid taking cold drink grapes and orange.

While lying down keep the head slight higher than the body.

6. Sun allergy- Do you get darkness of skin (tanning), itching and swelling in patches (urticaria), rash on skin with or without itching. Skin rash coming in stripes or patches like coins. You go on itching and itching. It feels good to scratch. Then is followed by bleeding? Sometimes they vanish automatically. Do these occur after you are exposed to sun light even for few minutes? All these complaints come under one umbrella of sun allergy.

Ointments or external applications can’t bring lasting effect. They often suppress the complaints and give rise to more vigorous internal complaints. SPF (sun protection formula) lotion also fails to bring a permanent relief.

Tip-Cover the exposed part of your skin with white cloth which absorbs the heat efficiently.

7. eczema- Itching mostly around joints, in the skin folds like elbows, underarms, under breasts, thigh folds. Severe itching found often associated. Oozing of watery or sticky fluid from the eruption. Whichever body part is contacted with that fluid, new eruption appears. Peeling of skin from the dried eruption.

8. Acne/pimples- It is the inflammation of the sweat glands or sebaceous glands situated underneath the skin.

Cause-It may be genetic, hormonal, and wrong in diet or regimen, oily skin texture, dandruff etc.

Genetic and hormonal acne are usually painful, large, red (acne rosacea) in colour with whitish tip.

Pimples because of dandruff are usually small, multiple, present in forehead, cheek and arms like prickly heat; these are followed by dark blackish (blemishes) patches on skin.

9. Warts- It is caused by a virus called HPV (Human Papiloma Virus). It is seen as a genetic disorder also. Most of the people mention the presence of the same kind of warts in father or mother.

Warts may come in single or groups. Single ones may be flat type or cauliflower type etc. Warts coming in groups usually found around the neck, under arms and around genitalia.

Warts are treated the best in homoeopathy. No ligation, no cauterisation, no burning, no external application but only internal medicine is used. By homoeopathic medicine not only the existing warts disappear but also the tendency to form new ones is eradicated.

Caution- warts are because of internal cause. So external removal is not the permanent solution. Rather external removal gives rise to more injurious internal disorders.

10. Detergent/ornamental allergy –After washing clothes with detergent skin of the hand peel off. Skin surrounding the nail exfoliated causing the nail bed painful. Without washing machine you are bound to bear with the dirty cloths only! Nothing to be sad about. Homoeopathy has got cure for it.

Are you scarred of using ornaments, jewelleries? Having blessed by laxmi you are still not able to enjoy your gold! As soon as you use a ring the surrounding area around the finger start itching and eruption develop. After few days of wearing a necklace you find blakish tanning around the neck!

Many take these symptoms granted through out the life but trust me, try homoeopathy for once and get rid of these complaints for ever.

CURE- Lasting cure is effective with ‘constitutional homoeopathic treatment’(CHT).

Unique features of CHT-

1. Free from side effect.

2. Cost effective-It does not drain out your pocket. Even the poorest can afford it.

3. It not only removes present complaints but also prevents recurrence.

4. Method of treatment is mild, gentle, painless and lasting.

It is safe to use for all age groups starting from infants to elderly people as well as during pregnancy.

How allergy develops?

For every plant to grow 2 things are needed. (i) SEED and (ii) SOIL

Similarly for every disease to happen 2 things are needed. (I) the genetic tendency and (ii) wrong diet and mode of living.

The 1st point can be ascertained by family medical history and 2nd point from the patient himself. If anybody in your family (blood relations) is having allergy then genetically you also have the tendency to be affected by that disease. Later on when your body immunity goes down because of excessive physical or mental stress then that tendency develops into symptoms of allergy. Thus CHT considers the entire constitution of the patient and then constitutional medicines (3 types-antipsoric, antisyphilitic, antisycotic) are given as per the indication.

Speciality in Dr Meeta’s clinic-

1. Here the homoeopathic medicines are dispensed in the latest method (as per the sixth edition of organon by Samuel Hahnemann) that is 50 millesimal medicines and fractional doses are used. This makes the duration of treatment faster and rapid.

2. Individual case record is maintained for every patient.

3. Prescription is issued to the patient. No medicine is kept hidden.

4. Time to time sincere follow-up is done.

5. At the beginning of the treatment the patient is explained about the method and duration of treatment.

6. No food restriction from the medicinal point of view is given.

Should We Be Conerned? What are the Trends of Asthma?

Globally, the trends of asthma is that it continues to escalate with more than 300 million people around the world suffering from asthma. In many countries the annual asthma death toll rises year in, year out.

Although asthma affects people of all ages, it often starts in childhood and is more common in children than adults. More boys have asthma than girls, but in adulthood more women have asthma than men.

Although asthma is a problem among all races, blacks have more asthma attacks and are more likely than whites to be hospitalised for asthma attacks or to die from asthma.

Trends of Asthma in the USA

There is an estimated 23. 2 million people that suffer from asthma in the USA, and more than 30% of those are children 0 – 18 years of age.

Asthma is the biggest cause of school absensces in regards to chronic illnesses.

Asthma is the reason for nearly 500,000 hospitalisations and 5,000 deaths each year.

Health care costs related to asthma are more than $14 billion annually.

All statistic related to asthma, health care cost, newly diagnosed people and deaths because of asthma continues to increase yearly.

Trends of Asthma in Britian

Just over 5 million people have asthma. Meaning that 1 in 10 children and 1 in 12 adults. Each year 1,400 people die from asthma, and over a third of these deaths are in people under 65 years of age.

Each year there are 69,000 hospital admissions due to asthma, which includes about 28,500 children.

Approximately 1. 2 million people with asthma experience significant restrictions on their daily lives, while 250,000 people have asthma which is so severe that it cannot be controlled by inhalers or stronger medicine.

Asthma treatment costs the NHS (National Health Service) an estimated £889 million a year.

However, too few asthmatics get the right information from their doctor when their asthma is diagnosed – only 6% receive a written self-management plan that explains when to take their medication and only 3% are told what to do when their asthma gets worse.

In a survey of 13-14 year olds in 56 countries, the UK had the fifth highest prevalence rate for asthma.

Trends of Asthma in Australia

Over two million people in Australia have asthma.

While asthma is on the increase, asthma deaths have been steadily declining for the past decade.

It is widely accepted that Australia has some of the best, and most affordable, medications available and are recognised as world leaders when it comes to asthma management and education, largely due to the intensive work of the National Asthma Council.

Summary of the Trends and Statistics

Asthma is a highly ranked chronic health condition in adults in most western countries, and it is the leading chronic illness of children. Asthma rates are on the increase, especially in the western world.

More people in western countries suffer from allergies, compared to people in less affluent rural parts of the world, and allergy rates are also on the increase.
