If you're looking for a natural treatment for hives, you've made a good decision because the side effects of using steroids (the most commonly recommended treatment for this problem) can be very serious and quite frankly, ineffective in many cases.

According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, 20% of the population suffers with an outbreak of hives at any point in time. In addition to that, most people who have one hives outbreak will develop a chronic problem where the condition returns over and over again.

Hives can become very irritating and an outbreak can last 6 weeks or even longer. This happens because the rash that develops is very itchy, and when you itch it, it aggravates the skin even more which causes the rash to stay even longer.

The real cause of hives is actually inflammation of the blood plasma. When this occurs, the plasma cells will accumulate under the skin and cause the skin to become irritated, leading to the rash that develops.

Although there is a great natural treatment for hives (which we'll discuss in a moment), most doctors are unaware of this alternative and will typically prescribe steroid medications to reduce the inflammation.

This does help in some cases, but there are two concerns with taking steroid medications. First, if you need to take the medication for a long period of time it can actually make the condition worse and lead to more outbreaks that last longer.

The second concern is the negative side effects that are related to the use of steroid medications. The most common side effects include acne, aggression, birth defects, kidney disease, liver problems, blood clotting too quickly, cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure and weight gain.

I don't know about you, but that doesn't sound very good to me.

In my practice, hives is a very common complaint that people suffer with. Because of this, I needed to find a good natural treatment for hives that would work quickly and still be effective. I also wanted to make sure there weren't any side effects.

My research led me to a product that has helped many people heal this condition, and the name of that product is OxyHives.

This homeopathic remedy includes natural ingredients that are proven to reduce inflammation, thus relieving the symptoms of hives.

Not only is it very effective, but it's also very easy to use (it's a spray, and all you have to do is spray it under the tongue).
