Histamine intolerance
Histamine intolerance - modern and Ayurvedic view of treatment
Histamine intolerance is a condition where the body cannot efficiently metabolize histamine, which leads to excessive accumulation of this substance in the body. This accumulation can cause a variety of unpleasant symptoms such as migraines, digestive problems, skin rashes, skin redness, swelling and other allergic reactions.
Causes of origin
According to Ayurvedic principles, histamine intolerance is associated with an imbalance in the digestive tract and metabolism in the body. Ayurveda considers the digestive system to be the cornerstone of health, as the proper functioning of the digestive fire (agni) and the metabolism of food are key to eliminating toxins and maintaining balance in the body.
Histamine intolerance according to the Ayurvedic point of view can be caused by a disorder of the digestive fire, which prevents the proper metabolism of histamine in the body. Another possible cause can be the accumulation of toxins (ama) in the digestive tract, which prevents the movement of energy (prana) and causes an imbalance in the body.
Recommended herbs
To treat histamine intolerance, Ayurvedic healers often recommend a combination of herbal preparations that have detoxifying and antihistamine properties. These herbs help strengthen the digestive fire (agni), remove accumulated toxins from the digestive tract and balance the body's histamine levels.
1. Manjistha and Curcumin- are known for their detoxifying effects and ability to cleanse the blood and digestive tract
2. Giloy- has immunomodulating effects that help strengthen the immune system and reduce inflammatory processes in the body
3. Aller-G - alleviates allergic reactions and detoxifies the body
These herbs are often part of Ayurvedic protocols for treating histamine intolerance and supporting overall digestive health.

Suitable diet and lifestyle
In case of histamine intolerance, it is important to follow a diet with a low histamine content, which includes fresh and unprocessed foods. Supporting the digestive system is also key, so it is recommended to eat slowly and calmly and avoid heavy and hard-to-digest foods. A healthy diet including fresh and easy-to-digest foods, regular exercise, adequate rest and avoiding stressful situations are key to achieving and maintaining balance in the body.
