Deep dives
Understanding Histamine Issues
Histamine issues are increasingly common and manifest through a variety of symptoms including classic allergic reactions such as runny noses and skin irritations, as well as less recognized symptoms like digestive issues, insomnia, and hormonal imbalances. Conditions like estrogen dominance can exacerbate histamine responses, creating a cyclical relationship where both hormones and histamines interact. Clinical practices increasingly recognize these connections, especially during transitions such as puberty or menopause, where hormonal fluctuations amplify histamine-related symptoms. Practitioners often encounter clients unaware that their various complaints—like migraines or acid reflux—may be linked to histamines, underscoring the need for educational initiatives in this area.
