SmoothieGirl Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Does anyone know of any natural antihistamines or used any with success? I'm interested in one with a herbal base rather than vitamin or mineral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr_inoz Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 interested too - vet recommended phenergan when my dog gets bad - but would also like to try something natural. garlic tablets are used for humans but assume, being like onion, that this would be really bad and harmful in dogs?

FionaC Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 (edited) Ok ..... off the top of my head and remember it really does depend on the specific allergen that you are reacting to and your current health/medical status as to what you should be taking and dosages but here are some herbs that have an antihistamine action .... Nettles Chamomile Basil St Marys's Thistle Feverfew Echinacea Euphrasia (eyebright) Lemon Balm Golden Rod Hawthorn Elderflowers Ginger Thyme Fennel As for specific brands or pre-made remedies ... sorry I can't recommend any specifically but I can recommend seeing a Herbalist or Naturopath to get something specific to your needs...

~Debs~ Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 If your dog has an allergic reaction to something,homeopathic Apis mel,or Urtica urens are both excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

persephone Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Vit.C. When I had my Mitchell boy- he had allergies to grass, etc. A vet I sometimes went to used to use vit.C via injection...and it seemed to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
