Rosemary Histamine Information

Rosemary, a common herb used in cooking, is primarily recognized for its antioxidant properties and ability to enhance brain function and memory. In terms of its impact on histamine levels, research appears to be minimal to non-existent. Hence, it's difficult to make a definitive statement about rosemary's effect on histamine levels. However, in terms of its ingredients, rosemary contains a compound called rosmarinic acid, which exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects and may potentially have an indirect impact on histamine levels. Research suggests that rosmarinic acid can inhibit the release of inflammatory markers, including histamine, from mast cells (Kawai et al., 2004). Mast cells are involved in allergic responses and produce histamine. Therefore, it could be postulated that rosemary might have the potential to lower histamine levels through the action of rosmarinic acid. Nevertheless, there is a need for more research to substantiate this hypothesis. Taking into consideration the other constituents of rosemary such as 1,8-cineole, camphor, and alpha-pinene, there's currently no research directly linking them to histamine levels, histamine release, or histamine breakdown. In conclusion, as much as science implicitly supports a potential impact of rosemary on histamine levels due to the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect of rosmarinic acid, concrete studies focused on the direct impact of rosemary on histamine levels are currently lacking. This gap in research necessitates the statement, "This product has not been researched well enough to publish any information, our team is working hard on this. Data will be available soon."
