This really helped me when the hives would get really bad and itchy.. I soak for 40 mins in a warm to hot bath with 2 cups of epsom salts.. I watch the hives slowly get pale and go away.. I was shocked it works so well.. I have also had magnesium to my vitamin box.. The hives do not come back or bother me for a day or two.. I also used apple cider vinegar on them and that relieved them but then i got so many I couldnt put that much vinegar on me without smelling horrible.. but it did relieve them.. and they went away.. Now these are not cures but only ways to get thru the awful itch..

    Thank you for the epson salt suggestion. could not sleep because my itching was so bad. Generally warm water is irritating to my hives, however I tried epson in warm water and it was so soothing I was able to sleep, first in the tub, then in my bed.

      Hi

      I never tried the epsom salts but apple cider vinegar or ginger in the tub relieved them also..
