Monoi Oil Histamine Information

Monoi oil is a unique product, originating from Tahiti, primarily composed of coconut oil and the fragrant tiare flower. The ingestion of Monoi oil is not particularly common with its predominant use being topical, however, when analyzing its ingredients for potential impacts on histamine levels, the primary focus is placed on its coconut oil content. Coconut oil is considered a histamine-lowering food and, instead of increasing histamine levels, it can help mediate them. One study has even suggested that the ingestion of virgin coconut oil could potentially decrease inflammatory responses in humans by inhibiting the release of histamine (1). However, due to the focus of research on the overall impacts of the fat content rather than its physiological impacts, it's challenging to define Monoi oil's direct effect on histamine levels. Therefore, it's crucial to note that the potential effects of this oil could vary among individuals, especially those with a sensitivity to histamine or histamine intolerance. To sum up, due to the lack of specific research, it's difficult to unequivocally state the direct impact of Monoi oil on histamine levels. Thus, this product has not been researched well enough to publish any solid information, our team is working hard on this. Data will be available soon. Reference: 1.
