Immunity can be raised by taking additional zinc supplements or iodine painting on the feet three days per week. Hormone imbalance can be corrected somewhat by taking vitamin B complex, in particular vitamin B5, panthenol or pantothenic acid. Finally, chronic hives is a condition of endotoxin buildup which can be relieved greatly by normalizing the pH. Take a minimum of 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda plus one half glass of water once in the morning and once before bedtime.
Take more if you have to until your pH is within normal range, such as 6.5-7.0 Most hives can be lessened with alcohol, the more the alcohol content the better. Lavender will also reduce hives when applied to skin. A copper chloride solution of 2% can be applied too, but may cause green tinge, temporarily but you need to apply this as often.
The three most important things to reduce hives, at least for me, is getting urinary pH to normal, stop eating all sweets and this includes fruits, avoid fried foods, and take zinc supplements, preferably zinc acetate, but never zinc sulfate or zinc oxide.

Then I found earthclinic and after digging through all the great advice I decided to actively combat these hives. For the past week I've been taking Apple Cider Vinegar twice a day and taking a 500mg lysine vitamin. I've rubbed castor oil and baby oil on my skin and the itch goes away. I'm not sure which one of these variables it is but it's amazing how much my hives have improved using these natural remedies! Try them!
