Individualised homoeopathic intervention in chronic spontaneous urticaria: Evidence from a case report
Abstract
Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU) is characterized by recurrent wheals, with or without angioedema, that typically resolve within 24 hours but recur at varying sites. It affects approximately 1% of the population across all age groups, with the highest prevalence in individuals aged 40-60 years. CSU shows a clear female predominance, occurring about twice as often in women as in men. The condition significantly impairs quality of life, impacting self-image and social and sexual relationships. Women may experience premenstrual exacerbations, and severe cases can be associated with systemic symptoms such as fatigue, chills, gastrointestinal discomfort, and arthralgia This case report details a 20-year-old female patient diagnosed with chronic spontaneous urticaria who presented with generalized itching for the past five years. After thorough case-taking and analysis based on the totality of symptoms, Natrum muriaticum 1M was prescribed. Over time, clinical improvement and changes in USA7 was observed. This case highlights the role of individualized homoeopathic treatment in the management of chronic spontaneous urticaria.
