What disease is urticaria? Urticaria is a common vascular reactive disease of the skin and mucosa caused by many different reasons.
Clinically, it is characterized by localized, temporary, itchy erythema and wheal on the skin and mucosa.
Its pathogenesis can be immune (the most common IGE-mediated Type I allergies) and non-immune.
Common causes of urticaria include: food and additives, drugs, infections, animals, plants and inhalants, physical factors, visceral diseases, mental factors, genetic factors, etc. There are many special types classified according to the etiology.
Its main symptoms are: the rash is wheal and tidal erythema, ranging in size and shape.
It often occurs suddenly, in clusters, and then quickly subsides after a few hours, leaving no trace behind but recurring.
The patient experiences spontaneous pruritus, which may be accompanied by abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, chest tightness, palpitations, and respiratory distress. In a minority of cases, there may be fever, joint swelling, hypotension, shock, laryngeal edema and asphyxiation symptoms.
The duration of the disease varies; acute urticaria lasts no more than one month, and chronic urticaria lasts longer than one month.
The skin prick test showed positive reactions in some cases, etc.
At the same time, urticaria needs to be differentiated from papular urticaria and erythema multiforme. If accompanied by abdominal pain and diarrhea, attention should be paid to differentiated from acute abdomen and gastroenteritis.
Those with high fever and poisoning symptoms should be considered as one of the symptoms of severe infection.
Angioedema must be differentiated from substantial edema such as erysipelas, cellulitis and eyelid contact dermatitis, adult scleredema, facial swelling type skin malignant reticulocytosis, etc.
Acquired angioedema and hereditary angioedema can be distinguished based on the above points.
What are the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine in treating urticaria? It is well known that Western medicine can cure diseases quickly but only address symptoms, without addressing the underlying cause. Additionally, it has significant side effects. In contrast, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) takes a slower approach but offers fewer side effects and can fundamentally address the problem. So, what are the advantages of TCM in treating urticaria? Urticaria is a type of allergic disease, and if it is acute, it will soon heal.
Shenzhen's traditional Chinese medicine practitioner: If it is chronic urticaria, it is hard to find a reason. Some are seasonal urticaria, and some become allergic when they come into contact with cold air. The patient's allergen is difficult to identify.
Attention to external allergens, if the patient continues to contact the allergen, the skin rash will not easily disappear.
If opting for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment, it offers the following advantages: 1. Rapid and efficient treatment of urticaria with TCM: Tailored to the patient's unique allergens, combined with a skin encapsulation steam therapy system, applying traditional Chinese medicine through physical action on the urticarial lesion can rapidly produce an anti-allergen body.
2. Treatment of urticaria with traditional Chinese medicine involves both internal and external remedies to strengthen the nourishment of the lesion, enhance the body's immunity, maintain dynamic equilibrium in the natural physiological functions of the organism, restore the skin's self-care ability, and thoroughly resolve the challenges associated with recurrent episodes.
3. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment for urticaria has proven to be highly effective: By applying TCM physical therapy to the lesions of urticaria, it can completely alter the allergic constitution, effectively regulate the skin's natural function, and avoid the toxic side effects induced by long-term oral administration of Western medicine steroids and topical ointments.
Precautions for Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment of Urticaria: We all know that urticaria is a disease that causes significant harm to the patients. Therefore, when treating this condition, it is crucial to thoroughly address urticaria.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has shown good therapeutic effects for urticaria, but there are many issues to be considered in the treatment of urticaria. Let's take a look at the specific introductions about these issues.
I. Targeting the cause of the condition.
The key to the treatment of urticaria is to eliminate the cause. If the patient also has an infection, some antimicrobial drugs can be provided for their consumption. However, for patients with food allergies, they may temporarily avoid certain foods.
Certain chronic inflammatory foci are often the primary cause of chronic urticaria; thus, effective treatment for urticaria through traditional Chinese medicine should include identifying the etiology and treating it accordingly.
II. Combined internal and external application.
The prerequisite for combining oral and external use is the internal use of antihistamines. Antihistamines are important drugs for the treatment of various types of urticaria. This method can control the symptoms of most patients. Secondly, topical use of calamine lotion and zinc oxide lotion can achieve temporary efficacy.
The treatment of urticaria should be based on the cause and symptomatic medication so that the drug effect can reach the focus directly.
Third, prescribe the right medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine also has certain efficacy in treating urticaria. Acute urticaria of wind-heat type can be treated with Jingfang Decoction, and wind-cold type urticaria can be treated with Magui Geban Decoction.
Jingfang Tang is suitable for the treatment of papular urticaria. The acute treatment of chronic urticaria is the same as the treatment of acute urticaria; for those with a protracted course of disease, seek the demon to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, followed by strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness, and treat syndrome differentiation.
For those with fever, use the Clearing Heat and Opening the Thorax Decoction; for those with cold, use Yong'an Stop Itching Formula; for spleen deficiency, use Wei Ling Tang. Additionally, Ren Shen Ji Bing Wan.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Treatment of Urticaria, Dietary Restrictions. Urticaria is a type of allergic reaction in individuals with an allergic constitution to external or internal factors, clinically classified into acute urticaria, chronic urticaria, and giant urticaria.
The etiology of urticaria is to some extent related to the diet of the patient, so we must pay attention to their dietary habits in daily life.
Let's take a look now at the dietary restrictions related to hives.
Patients with urticaria should pay attention to consuming foods rich in protein, such as eggs, chicken, and dairy products, while also ensuring sufficient intake of vitamins, including fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, and animal liver.
Some foods should be consumed less or not at all, and patients should avoid drinking strong alcoholic beverages, tea, coffee, and spicy and acidic foods. In addition, it is advisable to avoid high-fat and high-sugar diets.
Hives are primarily caused by allergies, and during the treatment period for hives, it is advisable to consume a variety of vegetables, fruits, and dairy products.
Vitamin C is a reductor and can gradually reduce histamine, egg and milk products contain rich calcium and can relieve allergy symptoms.
During the treatment period, do not consume stimulating substances such as chili peppers, various alcoholic beverages, and beef, mutton, seafood, etc.
Simultaneously, patients with urticaria should choose diets that are cooling and diuretic.
Examples include mung beans, adzuki beans, amaranth, purslane, purslane, winter melon, cucumber, lettuce, etc. Avoid fish, shrimp, beef and lamb, as well as spicy foods.
Eat more foods rich in vitamins and minerals.
Such as cabbage juice, carrot water, fresh fruit juice, tomato juice, vegetable paste, fruit paste, etc., to regulate your baby's physiological functions and reduce skin allergic reactions.
In order to maintain normal digestion and absorption capabilities, food should be light mainly, with less salt and sugar, so as not to cause excessive accumulation of water and sodium in the body, aggravate the exudation of the rash, pain and itching, and lead to skin erosion.
