How to Search for Antihistamine Spices

Spices and herbs are used for a variety of purposes that range from cooking foods to making teas to improving health. Spices are used for a variety of health problems such as high blood pressure and allergies. When allergies are a problem, some spices are used as an antihistamine. Finding antihistamine spices takes time, but anyone with allergies can benefit from adding some spices to their foods.

Instructions

• 1

  Learn about the spices. Cloves, coriander and ginger are known spices that can help with allergies. While these are considered antihistamine spices, it is important to research all of the potential effects of the spices. Every individual reacts differently to spices; you might have an allergy to the spice or might be taking a medication that interacts badly with the spice. Research the spice before adding it to any foods.

• 2

  Determine which spices are available in your local area. Spices like cloves and ginger are commonly found in supermarkets around the country, but spices like coriander are not always available in regular supermarkets.

• 3

  Look up any specialty stores in the area. Specialty stores, such as an Asian food store or a Middle Eastern grocery store, will commonly have spices available that are not available in other stores. These are spices imported from other locations, such as China, Korea or Middle Eastern countries. Find out which stores are available in your local area and then call the store to find out what spices they carry.

  Check online stores. Many websites sell herbal products or spices and deliver directly to your house. Unlike a local store, these online stores can take a week or more before the spices arrive and add the cost of shipping to the cost of the spice. The other consideration with online sources is whether the company is a scam. Always check on the company through sources like the Better Business Bureau to ensure that the company is legitimate.
