Diet Therapy for Urticaria ( Nettle Rash)
As urticaria usually has its origin in the gastro-intestinal
tract, the best way to commence the treatment is to adopt
an all-fruit diet for about five days. In this regimen, the
patient should take three meals a day of fresh juicy fruits
such as oranges, apples, pineapples, grapes, pears,
peaches, and papayas. The patient should drink a copious
amount of hot water.
After the all-fruit diet, the patient may embark upon a
well-balanced diet consisting of seeds, nuts, grains,
vegetables, and fruits. The emphasis should be on fresh
fruits and raw vegetable salads. The patient should avoid
tea, coffee, alcohol, all fresh foods, refined foods, and all
foods which are difficult to digest.
He should drink at least eight glasses of water daily
between meals. A glass of water containing the juice of half
a lemon may be taken one hour before each meal and also
between meals.
The patient should spend two or three days on an all-fruit
diet, at regular intervals. This will further cleanse the system
of toxic matters and help recovery.
