        abstract = {Urticaria (hives) is a common skin condition characterized by itchy, red welts. While conventional treatments like antihistamines and corticosteroids are commonly used, their side effects and limited long-term relief have led to a growing interest in herbal topical treatments. Urtica dioica (stinging nettle), along with other herbs like Neem, aloe Vera, and chamomile, is known for its anti-inflammatory, antihistaminic, and soothing properties, which can help manage the symptoms of urticaria. This review paper focuses on the use of herbal ingredients in topical formulations for the treatment of urticaria. It examines the active compounds in Urtica dioica and other herbs, their mechanisms of action, and the scientific evidence supporting their efficacy. Additionally, the benefits, safety, and challenges of using these herbal treatments topically are discussed. This review aims to provide insights into the potential of herbal topical remedies for urticaria and offers directions for future research in this area.},
