Here are some of them:
Butterbur: diminishes swelling and spasms. It also helps with migraines and stomach ulcers. Dosage: 50mg a day.
Vitamin C : believe it or not, the old mainstay of the medicinal cabinet does offer help. It acts as an inhibitor to histamine production.
Quercetin: It prevents cells from releasing histamines and is an anti-inflammatory. dosage: 500 mg a day
Exercise: Strengthens your immune system thereby reducing response.
Omega 3 fatty acids, apples, nuts and fish: all these foods help and contain quercetin. Chia seed and olive oil do too.
Probiotics : also boost the immune system.
Tomatoes and red Grapes: they have all the components, such as vit C and other compounds that aid in the reduction of the histamine production.
