I was wondering what everyone uses for hives?

I'm reacting to something and don't want to use steroids?

Stinging nettles tea, quercetin with bioflavanoids.

http://health.howstuffworks.com/wellness/natural-medicine/herbal-remedies/herbal-remedies-for-allergies.htm


Stinging nettle cream - or Urtica urens cream. There is nettle in Ssssting Stop by Boericke and Tafel which can be found in the health food store.

There are other remedies that can help but the above is the least complicated.

You could think about avoiding foods that have histamine in them until you get out of this state.

It's caused by a TMJ appliance.

Lymetutu, I recall you talking about a Dr. that cured your TMj. Is this correct?

Good call by lookup for stinging nettles for a topical treatment preparation. Just be sure to avoid any petroleum in any topical.

In addition, capsules can help your body in additional ways from the inside out:

TMJ appliance! Is it plastic or rubber or what?

If you can find a chiropractor who uses an arthrostim machine, that's how I took care of my TMJ for a long time.

It's called the Koren Specific Technique - I think they have a center and could let you know whether there are practitioners in your area.

The chiropractor sat behind me and had me move my jaw various ways, tapped lightly with the machine and fixed the angulation. He had to do this frequently for me.

Do you mainly wear the appliance when you sleep?

If you must use the TMJ appliance despite sensitivity your sensitivity reaction, then you'd probably benefit from trying an antihistamine.

I've found hydroxyzine to be the most effective one for treating intolerable itching and hives.

It can make you drowsy so you might only want to take it at night immediately before bed, when you insert the appliance.

If you need help during the day, xyzal is the best and would really help too.

It's safe to take the combo.
