Natural Remedies

What is the most effective antihistamine remedy for alleviating symptoms of sinus issues, itching, and hives, and how does it work to provide relief from these conditions?

Understanding Histamine and Natural Allergy Relief

Histamine is a key player in your body's immune response, but sometimes it overreacts, causing those pesky allergy symptoms:

  • Hay fever

  • Sinus issues

  • Hives, itching, flushing

  • Skin sensitivities

  • Sneezing, fatigue, wheezing

Cortisol: Your Body's Natural Buffer

Normally, cortisol helps balance out excess histamine. But, if you have low cortisol (like in adrenal fatigue), histamine can run wild.

Quercetin: Nature's Antihistamine Hero

Quercetin is a natural compound shown to:

  • Block histamine production

  • Calm down overactive immune cells.

  • Reduce inflammation and mucus (similar to Zyrtec)

How to Get Your Quercetin Fix

  • Food sources: Red onions, capers, kale, radishes, dill

  • Supplements: 400-600mg every two hours until symptoms ease. Taking with fat or bromelain can boost absorption.

Important Note: Quercetin is generally effective, but may not always provide 100% relief.

Additional Natural Allergy Support

Try these alongside quercetin for extra help:

  • Vitamin D (at least 20,000 IU daily)

  • Zinc (50mg)

  • Nettle root
