Oh, and what sort of hives are they? Allergenic, stress related or something else?

Take tea and see. If you suspect emotional times cause your hives and if you want to stay away from synthetic internal medication like antihistamines, you may want to try a nerve-calming herb tea, says SFC Thomas Squier, an instructor in survival training for the U.S. Army Special Forces at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and an herbologist. He recommends peppermint or passion flower teas. Chamomile, valerian, and catnip are other common sedative herb teas.
Make a poultice or paste. Herbal manuals often list a poultice of the crushed leaves of chickweed as a remedy for itchy skin. Some people make a paste of water and cream of tartar and apply it to the hives, replacing it when the paste dries and gets crumbly.
Put on pressure. Finally, Michael Blate, founder and executive director of G-Jo Institute in Hollywood, Florida, says he's had quick success in getting rid of hives with acupressure. Deeply massage the point on your trapezius muscle (running between your neck and shoulder) located midway on the muscle and just an inch or so over the backside of the ridge. "If it doesn't hurt somewhat, you haven't found exactly the right point," he says.
