Just throwing this out there- "Nettle has been shown to inactivate and inhibit the H1 receptors (H1 blocking medications are used to treat allergies) and stabalise mast cells which prevents extra histamine being released in your body." https://t.co/2jHswtyJWo https://t.co/CzenKRXuEc

Are you having trouble breathing due to allergies? Why not try stinging nettle leaf to reduce inflammation? https://t.co/Ei0AIocf0Z

Me too, but happy to share what we find. Really hopeful about tomorrow's (when it comes in the mail) trial of nettle leaf, since at least in vitro, the effects look really helpful. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19140159/

https://t.co/cmjRwDrIc1 "nettle (Urtica dioica) extract shows in vitro inhibition of several key inflammatory events that cause the symptoms of seasonal allergies." nettle is debatable in terms of helping allergies.. to add to the list of antihistamine plants: alfalfa! https://t.co/wyFMdzBAmi

@chydorina @remissionbiome Is it because it has quercetin, perhaps additional properties also? Note it also has 5a Reductase inhibitor action https://t.co/kwhH3CzhZi

You may be able to tolerate freeze-dried nettles. At an MD's recommendation, I use capsules (not tablets); take as needed. Provides relief almost immediately, though don't work 4 everyone. Check w/your doc https://t.co/vVZroOU7fr, https://t.co/rLRKqWlKe4 https://t.co/d2WNuPsfNn https://t.co/gvja8abCiy
