Docosahexaenoic acid
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an omega-3 fatty acid, has anti-inflammatory properties and may help modulate the immune response in allergic conditions.References

Histamine
Histamine is a key mediator released by mast cells and basophils during allergic reactions. It contributes to symptoms like itching, swelling, and increased mucus production.References
