In this post i will tell what you can expect from this blog.
Chronic urticaria, also known as chronic hives, is commonly described in conventional medicine as a condition that often cannot be fully resolved. Terms such as “chronic” and “idiopathic” are frequently used when symptoms persist over time and their underlying mechanisms are not fully understood.
I personally struggled with chronic urticaria for almost three years. During that period, I refused to accept the idea that nothing else could be explored, and I began studying everything I could find about chronic urticaria, including both conventional medical approaches and Traditional Chinese Medicine perspectives. Over time, I developed a deep interest in Traditional Chinese Medicine, emotional patterns, lifestyle factors, and the relationship between internal imbalances and chronic symptoms.
Through that process, I gradually recovered my own stability and returned to a normal life without the limitations that urticaria once imposed on me.
During the years I struggled with chronic urticaria, I was already part of several urticaria support groups on social media. After recovering my own stability and regaining a normal life, I remained in those communities to share my experience, help and guide other people who were going through similar situations.
Over the years, I helped hundreds of people from different countries and backgrounds. My role has never been to replace medical care, but rather to share my perspective, help people better understand their condition, and encourage them to seek qualified professional support, including experienced Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners when appropriate.
In my view and in traditional chinese medicine, urticaria is not a skin condition. It reflects deeper internal imbalances involving emotional, physiological, and systemic factors that can manifest differently from person to person.
Many people living with chronic urticaria become trapped in a cycle centered around antihistamines, corticosteroids, immunosuppressive medication, fear, food restriction, anxiety, and symptom control. At the same time, conventional medicine still gives limited space to Traditional Chinese Medicine approaches, despite thousands of years of clinical history behind them.
This blog is not intended to be an illegal medical practice or a substitute for professional medical care. It is a space where I share my personal experience, observations, opinions, and educational perspectives about chronic urticaria and the mechanisms that may contribute to it.
Readers can expect discussions about emotional factors, internal imbalance patterns, lifestyle habits, food reactions, negative events and emotions, environmental triggers, Chinese Medicine perspectives, and long-term recovery experiences shared by people from different parts of the world.
I would like to finish this introduction with three ideas that will be explored throughout this project:
1 – Urticaria is not an illness.
2 – Urticaria is not an allergy.
3 – People think that urticaria is a BAD thing but is not. In fact it is a GOOD thing because it is an important warning signal that there are internal hidden imbalances in the body.
