Vitamin C. Vitamin C has natural anti-histamine properties and anti-inflammatory effects. Supplementation with 2000mg over a period of two weeks has been shown to reduce blood histamine concentration by 30-40%, thus reducing hay fever symptoms.
Quercetin. Quercetin is a powerful antioxidant, found naturally in foods such as onions, apples and berries. It is shown to inhibit the manufacture and release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators. In one recent study quercetin provided better relief of nasal symptoms compared with antihistamine medication, and with no side effects.
Black Seed Oil. Black seed oil has been used therapeutically for thousands of years. It is well researched for its anti-inflammatory and anti-allergy benefits. Assessment of four allergy studies featuring allergic rhinitis, bronchial asthma and atopic dermatitis found decreased severity of symptoms following black seed supplementation.
Bromelain. Bromelain is a protein digesting enzyme, naturally occurring in foods such as pineapple and papaya. It demonstrates anti-inflammatory properties and has been shown to reduce swelling in the nose and sinuses, beneficial for those suffering from hayfever.
Nettle. Nettle contains biologically active compounds that reduce inflammation. It also reduces the volume of histamine produced by the body in response to an allergy. Sipping nettle tea throughout the day is a great way to keep levels topped up.
Reishi Mushroom. Reishi contains polysaccharides that help to balance the immune response. It also exerts strong anti-inflammatory and anti-histamine activity. By addressing immune system over-reactivity as well as the histamine-mediated inflammatory response, it is commonly used to both alleviate symptoms and to prevent their development.
