How to Reduce Stress & Lower Histamine Naturally
NATURAL APPROACH
Low-Histamine
1. Support Histamine Breakdown with Nutrients
Certain nutrients help break down histamine and support the nervous system:
✅ Vitamin C – Lowers histamine levels (found in pears, mango, and fresh greens).
✅ Magnesium – Helps calm stress and regulate mast cells.
✅ Vitamin B6 – Essential for DAO production (found in turkey, sweet potatoes, and bananas).
✅ Quercetin – A natural mast cell stabilizer (found in onions, apples, and capers).
2. Use Nervous System Regulation Techniques
Since stress triggers histamine release, calming your nervous system is essential. Try:
✅ Deep breathing exercises (Box breathing: inhale 4 sec, hold 4 sec, exhale 4 sec, repeat).
✅ Cold exposure (Splashing cold water on your face can calm mast cell activation).
✅ Gentle movement (Walking or yoga helps lower stress-related histamine).
✅ Progressive muscle relaxation (Tensing and relaxing muscles one by one).
