Hives Treatment

Oats

A very quick and soothing hives treatment is an oatmeal bath. Take a sock and fill it with old-fashioned oatmeal. While filling your tub for a bath, position the oatmeal filled sock so that the water filling the tub runs through the sock into the tub.

Parsley

Parsley is known to inhibit the secretion of histamine that causes hives. Eat it raw or juice it up.

Tarragon Basil Chamomile Fennel Oregano Tea

Use this hives treatment for chronic hives that are a persistent problem. Mix 1 tablespoon of each of the following herbs, tarragon, basil, chamomile, fennel, and oregano into a jar.

Take 5 cups of boiling water and pour it into the jar over the mixture of herbs. Cover the jar and store it in the refrigerator. Drink 1 cup of this tea, heated, 3 times per day.

Stinging Nettle

Although a live stinging nettle bush can cause hives from an allergic reaction when coming in contact with the skin, the freeze dried extract is an excellent hives treatment and can actually helps heal hives. Take two 300 mg capsules, 3 times per day for 1 week.

Green Tea

If you tend to get hives on a regular basis, green tea can help. Drink 1 cup twice per day.

Ginger Bath

Cut up about 1/2 pound of fresh ginger into chunks and add it to 1 gallon of hot water in a large pot. Let this simmer for about 10 minutes. Now, add all of the mixture to your bath water. Soak your whole body in this hives treatment for at least 30 minutes.

Amaranth

Mix 2 teaspoons of amaranth seeds into 2 cups of boiling water. Let it sit for about 20 minutes. Strain the mixture and apply it with a cloth directed to the affected area.

Lavender

Another very calming and soothing hives treatment is to apply lavender essential oil directly on the hives.
