Chronic heat-triggered urticaria improved with individualized homeopathic care
A 42 year old man with 7–8 months of persistent urticaria suffered from daily rashes and hives triggered by heat, outside food, tight clothing, sweating, exercise, and acidity, relying on antihistamines for relief. With associated anxiety, obesity, and disturbed sleep, his case required a detailed constitutional approach. After careful evaluation, Dr Shah prescribed individualized homeopathic medicines. Gradual follow ups showed reduced frequency and intensity of rashes, lesser dependence on antihistamines, and eventual near complete recovery, allowing him to remain symptom free for months with improved comfort and confidence.
