This question has been bugging me for several years. The chemical produced by herbs touted for allergies/histamine response is… Histamine. And yet, when we are suffering from allergies, it is our production of histamines that make us so miserable – so we take ANTI- histamines to suppress that misery. Therefore, doesn’t it seem rather counterintuitive to consume plants that are a source of histamine? How does that work?
