Natural antihistamies
Natural antihistamies
I've never heard of a natural antihistamne. It's weird there seems to be a natural version of most anything else. WED suffers may be less bothered by a natural form I thought. Just a queery.

Re: Natural antihistamies
Can't say I've heard of any. I did a quick google search and generally it seems to be that Vitamin C has properties and that the general approach is to avoid what may cause a histamine reaction.

Re: Natural antihistamies
There may well be natural histamines but I didn't have time to take more than a cursory look at google.

Re: Natural antihistamies
For some reason the site didn't come up on my computer. Could be something on my end as they block a lot of sites at work. Just wanted to say that I use Allerplex, a standard process product when I have allergies and it's all natural. Best of luck in your search. I know allergies are a royal pain.
Re: Natural antihistamies
doxylamine succinate: I don't think this is a natural antihistamine, but it doesn't kick up my RLS like other ones do. In fact, it quiets the RLS. It's the antihistamine in NyQuil. I first used it about six months ago when I had a bad cold, and it let me sleep through the night--no getting up at all with RLS. After using it for 3 or 4 nights, however, the RLS started flaring again--but no more than regular. I have another cold now, and used it last night again. Again, it quieted the RLS and I slept through the night.
I am amazed because I took something else with another antihistamine in it and was up the entire night.

Re: Natural antihistamies
Doxylamine succinate is sold as a sleep aid in Amazon under the name of Kirkland Nighttime Signature Sleep Aid. The comments on it are that it is very strong, and most people cut the table in half.
Here is what Wikipedia says about it:
Doxylamine is a member of the ethanolamine class of antihistamines and has anti-allergy power superior to almost every other antihistamine on the market, with the exception of diphenhydramine (Benadryl); it is also the most effective over-the-counter sedative available in the United States and is more sedating than some prescription hypnotics.[4] One study found that doxylamine succinate was more effective than the barbiturate phenobarbital for use as a sedative.
Another site I read said it worked by suppressing the neurotransmitters, which may be why it is giving some relief from RLS.

Re: Natural antihistamies
So I wonder what the bad side is for it?
Re: Natural antihistamies
Yeah, what's the catch? I don't know!
Re: Natural antihistamies
Well, for me the catch is--it turns out--that the sedating effect on the RLS only lasted the first night. However, I did do a a search of doxylamine on this site, and it turns out that some people do use it regularly as a sleep aid and something that helps control rls.
