For High Histamine, Itchy Skin, Hives & Skin Reactivity A cooling herbal tea traditionally used for skin-centered histamine reactions, including itching, hives, rash, flushing, hot or burning skin, and mild swelling-type flare-ups. 100% Organic ingredients: Nettle Leaf, Plantain Leaf, Violet Leaf, Sarsaparilla Root, Burdock Root, Rama Tulsi, Lemon Balm, Rose Petals HerbMan note: This formula was made for the skin side of histamine reactivity. For symptoms centered mainly in the nose, sinuses, eyes, and respiratory system, our Allergy Tea may be the better choice. About Formula About Formula Histamine Balance Tea was formulated for people whose histamine-type reactions show up mainly through the skin. It combines herbs traditionally used to calm histamine reactivity, soothe irritated tissues, cool heated flare-ups, and support recurring skin reactions. Nettle Leaf is the core herb for the histamine side of the formula. Plantain Leaf and Violet Leaf provide cooling, moistening, and tissue-soothing support. Sarsaparilla Root and Burdock Root are included for deeper, recurring skin patterns, while Rama Tulsi, Lemon Balm, and Rose Petals help calm general over-reactivity, heat, and stress-related aggravation. These herbs combined are best suited for:– Urticaria — hives and raised itchy welts– Chronic urticaria — recurring or migrating hives– Pruritus — persistent or recurring itching– Skin flushing — sudden redness, warmth, or heated skin– Reactive or inflamed skin– Eczema-like flare-ups– Mild histamine-related angioedema — swelling around the eyes, lips, face, or affected skin– Heat-, stress-, or food-triggered skin reactions This tea is best used consistently during active flare-ups, high-histamine periods, food-related skin reactivity, or recurring heat and flushing episodes. About Herbs About Herbs Nettle Leaf (Urtica dioica) – The main histamine-supporting herb in the formula. Traditionally used when the body feels over-responsive and easily triggered. Plantain Leaf (Plantago major) – A cooling, soothing herb traditionally used for irritated, inflamed, raw, or itchy tissues. Violet Leaf (Viola odorata) – Cooling, softening, and moistening. Traditionally used for dry, sensitive, and reactive skin patterns. Sarsaparilla Root (Smilax ornata) – Traditionally valued for chronic itchy, rash-like, and inflammatory skin patterns. Burdock Root (Arctium lappa) – A classic deeper skin-support herb traditionally used when recurring skin reactions appear connected to internal imbalance. Rama Tulsi (Ocimum tenuiflorum) – Included in a smaller amount for its traditional immune-modulating, anti-inflammatory, and adaptogenic qualities. Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) – Traditionally used to calm nervous-system tension and soften stress-related reactivity. Rose Petals (Rosa damascena) – Cooling, soothing, and calming, while making the formula gentler and more pleasant to drink. HerbMan note: Nettle addresses the histamine pattern, but the formula also needed cooling skin herbs, deeper skin support, and calming herbs. That is why this is more than a simple allergy tea. How to Take How to Take Use 1–2 teaspoons of loose-leaf tea per cup. Hot tea instructions:– Add the tea to a cup, tea strainer, or infuser– Pour boiling water over the herbs– Cover and steep for at least 15 minutes, or longer for a stronger brew– Strain and drink warm or at room temperature– Herbs may be used again Suggested use: Drink at least 2 cups per day. Some people may need additional cups during stronger flare-ups. One cup may be taken in the evening or before bed when nighttime itching interferes with sleep. Guidelines from Khabir: This tea generally works better when used consistently rather than only after symptoms become intense. For additional support, it may be taken with quercetin and a natural whole-food vitamin C supplement—not isolated ascorbic acid. Tips & Notes Tips & Notes Dietary changes are important when skin reactions are connected to high histamine. During an active flare-up, avoid or greatly reduce: – Fermented, aged, cured, smoked, pickled, canned, and heavily processed foods– Alcohol– Old leftovers or foods stored for several days– Common trigger foods such as tomatoes, eggplant, spinach, chocolate, and certain fish– Any food that clearly increases itching, flushing, hives, or swelling Favor fresh, simple, recently cooked foods and keep track of personal triggers. Heat, stress, poor sleep, and unsuitable foods may all increase skin reactivity. For chronic or more complicated skin conditions, Khabir may recommend an individualized Ayurvedic formula in addition to this tea. Digestive support or the Food Allergy Formula may also be considered when food sensitivity or digestive irritation is part of the pattern. Important: Rapidly increasing tongue or throat swelling, difficulty breathing, faintness, or a severe allergic reaction requires immediate emergency medical attention.
