        Do all cholagogues eliminate histamines? My understanding is that histamines get moved out of the liver quicker with a cholagogue. Is this accurate? I’m wondering if I can use dandelion or calendula or other bile moving herbs in an antihistamine formula?

          Yup. About any of the cholagogues will help with histamine elimination. Burdock, Oregon grape, dandelion etc…

          Burdock and dandelion are safer for pregnancy than the others.

          Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
