“In this video I discuss two way. One way is by blocking histamine 1 receptors.
“We usually think of histamine as something that is associated with allergies and your immune response. If you’re exposed to something your body is sensitive to, you get a histamine response that can look like itching, runny nose or even shortness of breath.
“And if you take an antihistamine like Benadryl, it slows the allergic reaction and you feel better. That’s how it works from the neck down. Histamine acts differently in your brain.” – YT
