Get the Right Levels of Histamine in Your Body

One of the best analogies I’ve read for histamine intolerance is on the website WebMD. They compare histamines to bouncers at a club.

“They help your body get rid of something that's bothering you – in this case, an allergy trigger, or “allergen.”.

They are part of your body’s defence team, protecting you from threats.

People suffering from histamine intolerance often have too many bouncers (this is as far as we can take the nightclub analogy). This happens when the amount of histamine produced and the ability to break it down is off balance.

What we want to do is get the right levels of histamine in our body.
