Skin and Histamines
Slow histamine clearance is a culprit of many health condition flare ups. Specifically SKIN. From acne rosacea to perional dermatitis and eczema.
You are in the right hands
You naturopath has probably started work on your Gut and Liver with products like Sulforafane, green juices, L-glutamine and Zinc. Or you are on the Gut repair program. All of these take a while to work.
Please Have Patience
In the mean time if you are still having flare ups and becoming frustrated. Considering steroids and even dermatology antibiotics!
PLEASE be patient. Before you walk away from long term results which are around the corner. Especially if you have taken up quantum healing alongside your Naturo medicine appointments. You are on the right path.
What you can do now to avoid flare ups
While the gut is being repaired with your program. To REDUCE flare ups you can speed up the histamine transit time with supplements that contain DAO.
Additionally you can AVOID flare ups with an antihistamine diet. The reason your Naturo medicine practitioner may not have introduced this straight away is that it is nutritionally limited and it is a bandaid approach. The type of approach a dermatologist or dietician would give you as management (after telling you that there is no cure for your condition). But as Naturo medicine practitioners we know that this is curative. We also understand that histamine is a TRIGGER. Not the cause.
The cause of skin flare ups is invariably poor liver function and gut dysbiosis.
Often caused by environmental toxins such as mould, pharmaceutical medicines specifically steroids and/or antibiotics use. Activated by a stressful period in life.
What to do today
-
Follow a strict antihistamine diet
-
Reduce exposure to environmental toxins such as mould, heavy metals in packaged food, chemicals in hair and body beauty products. Chemicals in washing detergents. Reduce toxic medication. The absolute best way to do this is with the RN-Cleanse.

Supplement with DAO
Usually, DAO and, to a lesser extent, an enzyme called histamine-N-methyltransferase(HNMT) break down ingested histamine. But several factors can with how DAO and HNMT work. Including alcohol and prescription drugs.
When the body does not break down histamine from foods, histamine may leak through the intestinal lining and enter the bloodstream. This can trigger an immune response. -
Supplement with quercitin, papain and bromlain. Natures antihistamines.
-
Here is a supplement that contains all of the above. Great to take on occasion if you know that you will have histamine rich food or drink. But not to be used as a band aid all of the time.
