Urticaria About the use and mis-use of Cortisone (steroids) for Urticaria

Cortisone is no more effective as long term treatment for Urticaria

In our experience and as per the medical philosophy of homeopathy, cortisone in any form (oral, systemic or local) is not a wise option for treating urticaria. As per the homeopathic approach and the philosophy, cortisone is a suppressing measure and there are all chances of relapse after stopping the use of cortisone.

It has been observed in daily practice, that, use of cortisone produces dramatic result initially. However, its influence is quite superficial, as the eruptions not only relapse after stopping the Cortisone, but they relapse more aggressively. The use of cortisone is not recommended due to the following observations:

1. It helps only superficially and temporality
2. Stopping of the steroids eventually leads to the reappearance of eruptions
3. The eruption, which relapses after the use of steroids, are more resistant than before
4. The extent of eruptions increase after stopping the steroids in most cases
5. Cortisone produce side effects by hampering the immunity, lowering resistance, disturbing hormonal cycle, etc.

Let us talk a bit more about suppression with cortisone. As we understand, Urticaria is just an expression of some inner disharmony. Cortisone simply masks the eruption without treating the inner cause. Such a measure is understood to be suppressive. Homeopathy is against any use of local cream for treating any skin disease in general and Urticaria in particular. Non-supressive treatment is considered superior for any medical disorder.
