urticarial rash on coming in contact with skin. Urtica urens is a very good remedy for
urticaria resulting from bee stings or after eating shellfish. Its peculiar symptoms are

substance are brought to surface. Apis has curative effects on multiple systems of
the body especially skin, kidneys, bladder, nervous system, eyes, throat, etc. It's

Difficult urination, burning while passing urine

Natrum Muriaticum:
Natrum Muriaticum is an interesting example of homeopathic medicine prepared
from a common food substance, the common salt, sodium chloride. As a rule, the
common salt undergoes a special procedure called potentization, whereby its inner
healing power is activated to make it available for healing. Constitutionally, this
medicine has a broad spectrum of action, and is useful for a wide range of disease
processes affecting the skin, gastrointestinal organs, nose, lungs, kidney,
metabolism, muscles, head, hormonal system, etc. It is one of the commonly used
remedies for urticaria, migraine, eczema, lichen planus, vitiligo, asthma, etc. Its one
of the commonly prescribed remedies for chronic urticaria. The rashes peculiarly
come on after exertion in these patients.

Carcinosin:
It's the beauty of the Homoeopathic system of medicine to be able to use not only
plants, animal products and minerals but also certain disease products and diseased
tissue for curing various ailments of patients. These are called as Nosodes. Here is a
remedy prepared from the material derived from the carcinoma of the breast. It
must be borne in mind that the actual medicine does not contain any part of the
original substance in the material form. Only the dynamic powers of the original drug
substance are present in the final medicine. Carcinocin is a deep acting constitutional
drug having many indications and a very broad spectrum of action. It is useful for a
wide range of disease processes as discussed below. It positively influences mind,
lungs, heart, eyes, skin, bones and joints, nerves, etc. It is one of the commonly
used medicines for diseases like urticaria, vitiligo, lichen planus, styes and chalazion,
hairloss, asthma, insomnia, trigeminal neuralgia, etc. Homoeopathy believes that the
genetic predisposition or inherent susceptibility is usually the root cause of a wide
range of diseases and Carcinosin in one such remedy which is used to combat these
genetic tendencies effectively.

Medusa:
This is a remedy that is prepared from Jellyfish. It is one of those homoeopathic
remedies that are specific for urticaria. It must be remembered that the remedy does
not contain the original drug substance in material form but contains only the
dynamic curative powers of the drug. After undergoing the process of potentization,
the hidden curative powers of the original substance are brought to surface. Medusa
is a very good drug for rashes of urticaria and prickly heat where there is burning
sensation of the skin and lentil-shaped eruptions on the skin. It is also a good drug
for impending angioedema where there is puffiness of the eyes, face and difficulty in
speech.
