I had a pretty intense allergic reaction to something, not sure what. I think it was a medication but not 100% sure. It has caused hives and dryness & itching around my mouth, down my neck and the top part of my chest, on the back of my neck. At this point it's just uncomfortable. I've been using Aveeno lotion to help alleviate the itching and dryness.
Anyone have any other ideas how to end this?

In order for true healing of allergies to occur, it is necessary to address their cause rather than just treat the outward manifestations or symptoms. This involves identifying the substances a person is allergic to and eliminating them from the diet and environment. At the same time, the body needs to be purged of toxins and the immune system needs to be stimulated. Since no two people are exactly alike, therapeutic approaches will vary, and usually a combination of therapies is the best course of action.
Among the therapies which have proven most effective in treating allergies are diet and nutrition, herbal medicine, acupuncture, Ayurvedic medicine and homeopathy.

Any restricted diet put health at risk and any long term removal of major food should be carried out in the guidance .The best remedy is the elimination method. First of all you should eliminate all the suspected foods only two weeks .Then slowly one by one keeping a record you can start then you can easily pin point the cuprit and you can avoid that food which is causing allergy because different people will have different type of allergy . Once you find out the root you will be saved .

yes it is nothing other than PRANAYAMA IN YOGA . I am damn sure that all your allergic conditon will disappear within one week if you sincerely perform this yoga. close one nostril with your thumb, breath in through the other nostril slowly .Then close the other nostril leaving the first one breath out slowly and breath in slowly through the same nostril .Repeat this for 5 to 10 minutes in concentration and visualizing that you have got rid of your allergy do this for 10 days and contact me .
