What does TCM treatment for urticaria include?

After suffering from urticaria, many people all seek some effective treatments, but because the treatment methods are indeed difficult to judge, many people do not know how to treat it. Generally speaking, traditional Chinese medicine is the main treatment for urticaria, which is effective but slow to take effect.

In traditional Chinese medicine, urticaria is called urticaria, wheal, etc. Its clinical characteristics are the occasional appearance of raised red wheals on the skin and severe itching. Because it develops quickly, the rash appears and disappears from time to time and occurs repeatedly, traditional Chinese medicine calls it addiction rash. Western medicine regards it as an allergic disease and is related to allergic constitution. In modern times, climate and environmental changes, increasingly severe air pollution, the widespread use of pesticides, antibiotics, food additives of various ingredients in food, and the allergic effects of drug abuse have led to an increasing trend in the incidence of this disease. It is especially common in children. Western medicine treatment focuses on anti-allergy and symptom relief, and commonly used anti-allergic drugs include calamine lotion, oral loratadine, cetirizine, etc. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the pathogenic factor of this disease is mainly wind evil, which is often accompanied by heat, cold or dampness.

The principle of treatment is to eliminate evil, but for some children with a long history of illness, recurrent illnesses, and accompanied by symptoms such as sweating, easy colds, poor appetite, no weight gain or weight loss, the root cause should be treated at the same time. For example, for children with qi deficiency, astragalus or Yupingfeng powder can be added, and for children with blood deficiency, angelica can be added to nourish the blood and moisten dryness.

During the period of onset and treatment, you should pay attention to eating a light diet, avoid eating irritating foods such as straw mushrooms, shrimps and crabs, and maintain a regular lifestyle. Try to avoid scratching the affected area.
