Histamine Tracker
Perilla oil
A plant-based oil with no known histamine content, though it's rich in omega-3s which oxidize quickly.
Perilla oil is pressed from perilla seeds and contains no compounds associated with histamine problems.
-
High omega-3 content — this makes it more prone to oxidation than stable oils like coconut; rancid oil may cause its own digestive irritation separate from histamine
-
Freshness matters more here — because of how quickly it can go off, buying small quantities and keeping it refrigerated makes a real difference
Fresh perilla oil is generally well tolerated by people managing histamine.
