Our approach at Aarya
At Aarya Homoeopathic Clinic, treatment begins with a detailed, unhurried consultation. For urticaria, Dr. Gupta pays special attention to what seems to bring on the welts, your food and drug history and the timing of flare-ups.
Based on your whole picture, he selects a personalised remedy and plan, with regular follow-ups to review your progress. Diet and lifestyle guidance is shared where it helps.
Urgent medical help is needed if hives come with swelling of the tongue or throat, wheezing or difficulty in breathing.
