You will also need to stack up more on foods rich in Vitamin C with strawberries being the best source. They supply your body with antioxidants as well as reduce allergic symptoms. This is because the moment the levels of Vitamin C dip, histamine levels rise.

4. Stinging nettle

It hurts when you touch but it heals when you consume it. But you don’t have to get it from the fields as you can get its powder form at the supermarket or herbs’ store. This herb has anti-histamine effects and is known to be very effective in counteracting allergies.

5. Onions

Whenever you can, always add onions to your food and better if consumed in their raw form. Onions are affordable and readily available and they also stop the body from producing histamine.
