9 Supplements That May Help With Managing Histamine

Some supplements may help with allergic histamine response.

Itchy eyes, runny nose, headache, congestion, sneezing… I’m sure you know how allergies feel. But have you ever wondered why your body goes into full alert mode when allergies strike? Let's uncover the fascinating world of allergies and how they play out in your immune system.

    1. Encounter the intruder: When you're exposed to allergens like pollen, pet dander, or certain foods, your body detects them as potential threats.
      2. Red alert! Immune response: Your immune system jumps into action, sensing danger. It releases IgE antibodies, which act like searchlights, flagging the allergens for destruction.
        3. The histamine havoc: In response to the immune alarm, histamine is released. This compound triggers a cascade of reactions, leading to allergy symptoms like itching, sneezing, and watery eyes.
          4. Inflammation invasion: Your body amps up inflammation to battle the perceived threat. White blood cells rush to the scene, causing swelling and discomfort.

            5. The Unwelcome Drama: Now you're faced with the not-so-fun symptoms of runny nose, congestion, hives, and even digestive issues – you name it! It's your body's way of trying to protect you from what it believes is harmful.
