Histamine Imbalances
Histamine is most well-known for its involvement in allergic reactions, however it also acts as a neurotransmitter like serotonin and dopamine. Histamine is involved in the wake-sleep cycle and is required for arousal, alertness, learning and memory. It also regulates appetite, other neurotransmitters, the perception of pain and some stress hormones. Histamine imbalances, both low and high are known to be involved in mental health issues such as schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, behavioral disorders and autism.

About High or Excessive Histamine
Histamine Imbalance is an often overlooked problem, some people are actually genetically pre-programmed to produce more histamine which is a condition known as histadelia, this type of condition can make a person excessively compulsive and obsessive. Having high histamine means that you are more likely to need higher levels of nutrients and a good nutrient dense diet, this is because high histamine type people are prone to using up nutrients at a fast rate making them prone to nutritional type diseases and depression quite easily. Those with excessive or high histamine are likely to experience five or more of the following symptoms:
- Headaches or migraines
