Natural anti histamine
The best way to reduce allergy symptome is to use Anti-Histamine herbs, regulate your Immune System & remove Toxin in your body!
First, let’s see some of the best herbs that have Antihistamine action:
Histamine is a chemical, which is involved in our local immune response as well as regulating physiological function in the gut, acting as a neurotransmitter. During the time of seasonal allergies, the body’s immune system sees pollen as an invader. In an allergic reaction, our body produces histamine, as a defense mechanism. This inflammatory chemical attaches the cells in our body and causes irritation. It is the deficiency of this enzyme that triggers an allergic reaction as histamines gathers in the synapses.
An antihistamine serves to reduce or eliminate the effects brought on by histamine, a chemical mediator released during allergic reactions. Antihistamines are commonly used for allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, contact dermatitis, urticaria (hives), angioedema and pruritus (atopic dermatitis, insect bites).
There are hundreds of plants used all over the world, which are used in herbal medicine as treatments for hystamine attacks. Here are some of the most accessible and reliable.
Basil (Ocimum sanctum) – this great herb has a history in helping prevent stomach cramps, gas as well as constipation. A poultice of Basil leaves can can work as an antihistamine to draw out insect, bee wasp, or snake venom. It helps alleviate acne, heal abrasions and speeds healing when used on cuts.
Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) – is rich in anti-histamine properties. The flowers can be crushed and used as a poultice for inflammatory swelling. Make a tea and drink 2-3 times a day. Chamomile can cause histaminic allergic reactions in some very sensitive people. If this occurs, simply discontinue.
Jewelweed (Impatiens aurea) – contains a compound called “Lawsone” that treats uticaria. Jewelweed is used as a natural remedy for poison ivy, poison oak, okra spines, stinging nettle and acne treatment. Jewelweed is also used for heat rash, ringworm and many other skin disorders, as well as bug bites and razor burn.
Papaya (Petroselinum crispum) – inhibits the secretion of histamine. Papaya juice can be taken internally as well as applied topically to diffuse a histamine attack.
Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica) – The very same plant that will produce hives if its hairs inject their histamine into you can work to heal the problem. Some herbs whose pollen can cause symptoms of hay fever have been used as a way to reduce symptoms of hay fever, which is the homeopathic theory of “like cures like”. The most important of these are Goldenrod and Ragweed (Ambrosia ambrosioides) . Eyebright and Elder also have a reputation for use as hay fever remedies. However, an individual allergic to one of these plants should avoid them unless under the care of a doctor of natural medicine. Freeze-dried nettle leaf extract taken in capsule form will treat hives and allergies. The plant does not contain enough histamine to cause a problem when taken orally. Tea can be made from the leaves or cooked as greens. The stinging hairs lose their sting when the plant is cooked.
Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea) – Echinacea is a widely used herbal remedy for treatment of upper respiratory tract infections. This purple coneflower has shown to have antihistamine properties.
Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) – In my Chinese herbal practice, fennel is used for indigestion, spasms in the digestive tract, as well as expelling phlegm from the lungs. Fennel is rich with the antioxidant flavonoid “Quercetin”. Quercetin is a strong natural antihistamine shown to be very helpful for allergies and histamine-related inflammation. Make as a tea and drink 2-3 times per day.
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) – another classic herb in the Chinese Materia Medica, ginger works well on allergic reactions such as hives and wheals. Slice up a ginger root boil it in eight cups of water for 30 minutes. Allow the herbs to steep for another 30 after you have boiled it. Drink 2 to 3 cups a day. You may add the tea to a hot bath and soak for 20 minutes. Dip a wash cloth in the tea once it is at room temperature and use as a compress.
Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) – Hailed the “mushroom of immortality” , one of my favorite natural remedies is Reishi (Ling Zhi). Japanese researchers have found that reishi acts as an antihistamine, making it useful for treating allergies. “Lanostan”, a compound found in reishi, appears to control the release of transmitting chemicals in the body, thereby inhibiting the release of histamine. Since reishi also promotes the adrenal function and immune reaction, it has added effectiveness in controlling the body’s reaction to an allergen.
Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) – is a natural antihistamine, as well as having antiseptic properties to help purge infections. The essential oil has been shown to have antimicrobial activity against a host of different bacteria and fungi.
Vitamin C is believed to be a natural antihistamine agent if used at high doses, around 3,000mg to 5,000mg a day.
Wild Oregano (Origanum vulgare) – aka Wild Marjoram, have at least seven different antihistaminic chemicals, therefore fights allergies as well as fungus and infection.
Search for new kinds of asthma attack relief are giving you sleepless nights? Are you always afraid of exposing yourself to various allergens and spoiling your plans? Do you always carry emergency asthma medicines anticipating an asthma attack? If so then read on as you will find this very interesting. A lemon can be of great use in asthma attack relief in a very noble way. Using Lemon as An Asthma Controlling Agent
Inclusion of lemon in your daily diet can play a major role in asthma attack relief for you. Begin with a two day fast in which only water and lemon juice will be your complete diet. To speed up the digestion process the lemon juice must be consumed with warm distilled water. This will also increase the energy gained from the drink and is the best way to consume the lemon. To protect your teeth enamel from the acidic nature of lemon juice you should carefully rinse your mouth after consumption of lemon juice. This is the beginning of you asthma attack relief with lemon.
After the first step of preparing your body system to accept lemon you should continue taking lemon every day before breakfast in the morning. The breakfast should be taken at least half-an-hour after to get the best possible asthma attack relief from the lemon juice you had. The difference here is that the lemon juice is to be taken with two teaspoons of ionic manganese. Manganese is known to have properties which lower the anxiety levels in people. Asthma is believed to be caused by anxiety and anger hence it makes sense to lower the anxiety levels thereby removing the chief cause of the ailment. This will help a great deal in having a permanent asthma attack relief. No wonder then that manganese is also popular by the name of love mineral.
After few days of the lemon juice manganese course add one teaspoon of chlorophyll to it. The colon is detoxified by the chlorophyll. As the blood flowing upwards from the colon take the toxins to the lungs which makes the lungs weak. The chlorophyll prevents it by removing the toxins and only pure blood goes to the lungs. This causes great asthma attack relief.
Permanent asthma attack relief can be gained by repeating the process daily for few months. Avoiding any kind of trigger during the course is very important as exposure may neutralize all positive effects the lemon therapy had on your body. The body will gain immunity to most allergens after the first month of the course providing it is done properly. This will give you a big relief for you have the confidence now of being in control of your asthma while you go about your daily activities.
What nutritional supplements should I take for asthma?
Foundation Supplements. There are three products from Natural Factors that I think are critical in supporting good health:
* MultiStart (age and gender specific multiple vitamin and mineral formulas). Follow label instructions.
* Enriching Greens – a great tasting “greens drink” containing highly concentrated “greens” like chlorella, spirulina, wheat grass juice, barley grass juice, etc., and herbal extracts. Take one serving (one tablespoon) in 8 ounces of water daily.
* RxOmega-3 Factors – A true pharmaceutical grade fish oil supplement. For asthma, take five capsules daily. This dosage will provide 2,000 mg of EPA and 1,000 mg of DHA.
Magnesium deficiency plays a major role in many cases of asthma. Magnesium deficiency makes the bronchial airways more prone to spasm. Take an additional 150 to 250 mg of magnesium three times per day. Magnesium bound to aspartate, citrate, and malate is preferred to magnesium bound to oxide because of better absorption.
Lung, Bronchial, and Sinus Health from Natural Factors is designed to provide key nutrients and herbal extracts for healthy airways. For example, it provides N-acetylcysteine (NAC) – a derivative of the naturally occurring amino acid cysteine. NAC directly splits the sulfur linkages of mucoproteins thereby reducing viscosity of bronchial and lung secretions. As a result it improves bronchial and lung function, reduces cough, and improves oxygen saturation in the blood. Adults and children over 12 years of age: One tablet three to four times daily. Children 6 to 12 years of age: One tablet up to three times daily. Not recommended for children under six years of age unless recommended by a physician.
Grape seed or pine bark extract contain flavonoids known as procyanidolic oligomers (PCOs) that exert exceptional antioxidant and free radical scavenging activity. Take 300 to 600 mg of PCOs daily if you have asthma.
