Chinese medicine treatment of urticaria

Urticaria is also known as urticaria, wheals, and wind bumps. It is a localized edema reaction caused by various factors that lead to dilation of small capillaries in the skin and mucous membranes and increased permeability. The clinical symptoms are itching, wheals, and angioedema. So, what are the methods of using Chinese herbal medicine to treat urticaria? Let's have a simple understanding of this issue. I hope the following points will be helpful to everyone!

Traditional Chinese medicine has a very good effect in treating urticaria, but the preparation of traditional Chinese medicine requires finding a professional Chinese medicine doctor for diagnosis, and traditional Chinese medicine is difficult to boil and relatively inconvenient.
