hives is a sign that something is out of order in your body or mind. It could be:
• allergy to something (which is a further indication of some problem in the body, such as toxin overload or damage to the tissues, or a weak immune system)
• stress overload
• hyper-sensitivity to stimuli such as cold, heat or alcohol
• lack of something such as an enzyme that your body needs to function properly
• an underlying disease such as lupus or leukemia
In certain situations, though, such as contact with highly irritating plants such as poison ivy, hives is a very normal and healthy reaction – a warning to stay away.
You can relief a hives outbreak, but to correct the underlying problems, you want to build good health. Some ways to do that are a diet of healthful, preferably uncontaminated (organic) foods, drinking lots of water to flush out toxins, living a balanced lifestyle that includes relaxation, exercise and rest, and frequently clearing your mind of stress.
You should also seek the assistance of a professional health practitioner who can identify and help you correct any underlying health problems. You should also get your allergies treated. Good health is worth cultivating.
