If you suffer from Rosacea, it's possible to treat yourself at home with alternative natural remedies that you may already have in your kitchen cabinets. The idea that such a treatment could be under your nose might seem a little strange, but there are many who are receiving relief from their rosacea condition through natural means.
Rosacea is a skin condition with no known cure. Some have claimed to cure their rosacea, but it's more likely that they've been able to control it to a point where it becomes undetectable over time. For the majority, however, rosacea is a skin disorder that is not only incurable, but even symptom treatment seems to be beyond reach. Here are some natural home remedies that some have found to reduce the flareups.
Apple cider vinegar ingested is a common home remedy for rosacea. It stimulates the release of digestive enzymes and can help foster bacterial harmony in the intestines. Apple cider vinegar can be taken in liquid form or by tablet. It's likely you already have it around your house in liquid form, though.
Another treatment used for rosacea is licorice herb. A study in 1996 followed sixty-two patients who had mild to moderate facial rosacea. There was significant decrease in redness at week four and even more at week eight. You may not have licorice in your kitchen, but it's easy to find in your grocery store.
Another small study which was made known at the annual meeting for the American Academy of Dermatology found that green tea cream could help people control their rosacea symptoms. Women using the green tea cream had a dramatic decrease in the number of red bumps and pustules. Independent studies are needed, but the results were reported to be quite promising.
There are other more traditional natural home remedies for facial rosacea. These include: Aloe, Burdock, Chamomile, Olive Oil, Red clover, Rose hips, Selenium, B vitamin, and Zinc. Some lotions sold online include all or most of these elements, but not all work for everyone. Each person has a different body chemistry and a different severity level of rosacea.
There are many more treatment options today than ever. Do not resign yourself to living in misery anymore. The possibility that your symptoms can be controlled is not a mere dream or beyond your means. Always consult your physician before starting any treatment.
