10 Hives Treatments You Should Know

Nettle Tea

Nettles or Urtica Dominica have been long used for hives treatments. You could make a cup of tea by boiling 1 teaspoon of dried nettles in water and let it cool down. After that, soak a clean cotton towel in the tea and wring out to place on the affected areas. You can do this as regularly as needed, but it is advisable to make new tea every day. While this treatment is safe for most, avoid using it for children and breastfeeding or pregnant women. If you are suffering from low blood pressure, diabetes, or take any drugs, also make sure to consult your doctor. [8]
