We have many people in our family who have food allergies, as well as seasonal, animal, and plant allergies. Histamine release is the reaction you body has when you come into contact with something you are allergic to. Medicines like Claritin and Benadryl are anti-histamines, which means that they assist with stopping your body's histamine release. There are natural ways of mediating histamine release and the discomfort that it causes, and one of them is to eat a diet that is low in histamine. I ran across the Low Histamine Chef website the other day, and I thought I would share it here. The recipe that she posted today is for Fennel Apple Coleslaw.
The Skinny
In studies, fennel exhibits “inhibitory effects against acute and subacute inflammatory diseases and type IV allergic reactions and showed a central analgesic effect.” (Link for the study is on the LHC website)
Russian studies (the only ones I could access for free on the net) show that tarragon shows “highlight potential
anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, and anti hyperglycemic effects”. (Link at LHC site)
