Some anti-allergic herbs are:
Albizia (Albizia lebbeck): Albizia is a top anti-allergy herb. Scientific evidence helps support the traditional use of albizia in inflammation. Albizia has been reported to modulate histamine release which plays a major role in allergic diseases.
Baical scullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis): Baical scullcap is one of the most popular herbal medicines used to treat inflammation, allergy and bacterial and viral infections. According to preclinical studies it may decrease the amount of histamine released from mast cells.
Nettle leaf (Urtica dioica): A traditional treatment for inflammation and allergy, nettle leaf is a natural antihistamine. Although the stinging hairs can inject histamines into the skin and cause a reaction it paradoxically helps with allergies as well. In a randomised double blind clinical trial 37 patients with the signs and symptoms of allergic rhinitis, and a positive skin prick test, took nettle leaf for one month. A significant improvement in clinical symptom severity and a statistically significant reduction in mean nasal smear eosinophil count (useful for diagnosing allergic rhinitis) was observed.
Perilla (Perilla frutscens): For centuries Eastern herbalists have prized this potent leaf for its anti-allergy affects in asthma, eczema and dermatitis. Perilla is a herb traditionally used for the relief of hay fever and symptoms such as coughing and excessive phlegm. A 21 day placebo controlled clinical trial, examining allergic inflammatory diseases in humans, found that perilla was an effective intervention for mild seasonal hay fever, with allergic conjunctivitis, at least partly through inhibition of specific white blood cells infiltrating the nostrils.
