As you continue to breathe deeply, visualize the acupuncture points that will assist in alleviating the discomfort of latex-induced hives.

Locate LI11, Quchi, at the outer elbow crease. This point helps to clear heat from the body, reducing inflammation and irritation on the skin. Feel the warmth of healing energy flowing from this point, soothing the itchy welts and calming the skin.

Next, find SP10, Xuehai, situated on the inner thigh, about two fingerbreadths above the kneecap. This point invigorates blood circulation, promoting healing and nourishing the skin. Imagine a gentle flow of energy from this point, revitalizing your skin and alleviating discomfort.

Now, shift your focus to LU9, Taiyuan, located at the wrist, in the depression between the radial artery and the tendon of the thumb. This point strengthens the lungs and supports the immune system, fostering resilience against irritants. Envision a soft, nurturing light emanating from this point, enveloping your body in calm and protection.

Finally, bring your awareness to BL40, Weizhong, found at the back of the knee, in the center of the crease. This point helps to reduce swelling and discomfort. Picture a cooling sensation radiating from this area, easing any tension and providing relief.

As you hold these points in your mind, allow the energy they represent to flow through you, balancing your body and mind. Breathe deeply, inviting warmth, circulation, and calm into the areas affected by hives.

With each breath, acknowledge the healing process taking place. Visualize the skin returning to its normal state, smooth and free from irritation. Let go of any tension, allowing your body to settle into a state of balance and harmony.

Continue to breathe and embrace this healing energy, knowing that your body is capable of restoring itself to a state of well-being.
