In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), urticaria is often referred to as "yin zhen" or "feng zhen kuai". TCM believes that its onset is related to factors such as constitution and invasion of external pathogens. Treatment focuses on overall conditioning and it is recommended to improve the condition under the guidance of a doctor by combining Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture, and other methods.
Specifically, this can be understood from the following perspectives:
1. **Diverse Etiology:** Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this disease may be related to external pathogenic factors such as wind-cold and wind-heat, or it may be caused by improper diet, emotional stress, or insufficient qi and blood.
2. **Treatment based on type**: Common types such as wind-heat type (red rash, aggravated by heat) are often treated with methods to dispel wind and clear heat; wind-cold type (pale rash, more pronounced by cold) is often treated with methods to warm the meridians and dispel cold; and blood deficiency type (recurrent attacks, accompanied by fatigue) focuses on nourishing blood and dispelling wind.
3. **Treatment methods:** In addition to oral Chinese medicine, external treatments such as acupuncture and cupping can be used to help unblock meridians and relieve symptoms.
In daily life, pay attention to recording dietary and environmental triggers, and avoid scratching the skin; wear loose cotton clothing to reduce friction. If it recurs frequently, consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to adjust your constitution through syndrome differentiation and treatment. At the same time, maintain a regular schedule, a peaceful state of mind, and gradually enhance your body's adaptability.
