Guest guest Posted April 4, 2003 Report Share Posted April 4, 2003 Here's what I think. I think just about everything we get taught by our derms is wrong. I have rosacea and have tried every medication at one time or another. I think rosacea developes because your body is attemping to detox through your skin. The more toxic the redder and mpre swollen it gets. Do you have flushes? They are also detoxifing. I have swithced to orgainc food which has helped some. I threw out EVERYTHING that went on my skin- no make soap, or meds, not even sunscreen. Recently when I wash my face or take a shower I do a hot /cold treatment one minute of each and the acne part has about disappeared. Another thing that has helped is flax oil. Udo's is what Doc recomends. I was kind of worried because I had a hormonal reaction to it the first time I tried flax, but this stuff is shigh quality and I haven't had any trouble with it. My goal in the next two months is to do a total body cleanse and add some more supplements- CoQ10, MSM, Niacin (lol), Vit E and I think there was something else. I would have done it already if it was possible, Ok I'll stop rambling. I would love to get some feedback on my thought process in re to rosacea.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2003 Report Share Posted April 4, 2003 I think you're onto something about detoxing and I didn't think of that. I've been detoxing for about a year with a strange odor coming through my pores. And I've had rosacea for about the same length of time, but didn't think of it until you mentioned that. I've been a vegan for over 25 years and my diet is pretty pure. I use Udo's and don't see any difference. Today I had an idea of using a hot (warm) castor oil pack on my nose. It seems strange, but those packs have helped in other situations. doodle bug wrote: Here's what I think. I think just about everything we get taught by our derms is wrong.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2003 Report Share Posted April 6, 2003 I just use the hot/cold water on the shower. It took a long time of abusing your body to get where you are now. Are you just going to do the hot/cold treaments? If so I don't know if you're goiong to get any results if the root of the problems isnt addressed. If you want fast results a Total body cleanse speeds up detox and a diet change will help prevent the problem in the future. A call to Doc might be helpful if you have any other problems you are dealing w/ too. crcjct wrote: doodle bug:I tried the ice/hot treatment last night.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2003 Report Share Posted April 6, 2003 I use a hot wash cloth at night/small bottle of frozen water (you do what you can!). The idea of hot/cold showers doesn't appeal to me. Brrr. My diet is really good. No sugar, nothing white but tofu and baked potato once in a while and have been a vegan for 27 years - no dairy, meat of any kind. No pop. No coffee, no caffeine. Sound boring doesn't it Have to say that the reeking body odor I've had for the past year is just about gone and is coincidental with the ugly outbreak of rosacea which is luckily only on my nose. I think I can trace the problem back to a chair I bought at a consignment shop. It had strong smell of perfume and I was told that often furniture is fumigated and then doused with perfume to cover the smell of the chemicals. I was tested for pesticide poisoning by my homeopath so I think that was the root of the problem. What do you do for a total body cleanse? Is it a liver/gall bladder/colon cleanse? I do that periodically with olive oil and lemon juice. doodle bug wrote: I just use the hot/cold water on the shower. It took a long time of abusing your body to get where you are now.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Unfortunately (for you) I live in Brazil but I make some lotions and wash that work wonders with rosacea (I have one, myself). . They are made of onycha, frankincese an myrrh, the pure resins. It is very good but a funky formula, very difficult to make it and takes some time to get ready, but it works. How could I help you?

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 There is a line of over the counter products for rosacea where the active ingredient is sea buckthorn berry. It is supposed to kill the organism that causes rosacea. I have seen sea buckthorn oil on some of the list members websites.

I find that diet is a major factor and experience flareups as a result of consuming spices and alcohol. There are preparations on the market for rosacea, but I cannot expose my face to the chemicals that are in those preparations. I look forward to hearing about others who experience this issue. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under Properties, Indications, anc Uses, she states that it has anti-wrinkle and skin softening activity and is wound healing by increasing the granulation. There is much information touted on the web about the use of sea buckthorn oil. I use rosehip seed oil, helichrysum, myrrh, lavender and carrotseed oil in my Healthy Skin cream formula.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 My mother developed Rosacea pretty badly a few years ago. The Dr.s were no help. The stuff they told her to use just made things worse. Eventually she stumbled across: Gotu Kola - Tincture (full spectrum process) and Jojoba oil. She mixed them together in equal parts and started applying to her face at night before bed. It took a few weeks but the Rosacea completely cleared up. She continued to use the mix until she ran out and the really cool part is she never had to mix up another batch and the Rosacea never came back. It's cheap and might be worth a try.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Dear Dede, The ROOT cause of Rosacea, as for so many skin conditions, is a sluggish liver. Anything you do to cleanse the intestinal tract and activate the liver will be useful. There are many good products for that on the market, you already know which ones I like. Rainforest Treasure Tea agreed with your system, it is great for the liver. And: do you have Dandelions where you are in Texas? Dandelion Root and leaf are one of humanity's greatest blessings. Free for the taking, food, medicine, spirit-lifting beauty all in one. One of the great loves of my life. If they are blooming already, just nibbling a stem is good for your gallbladder. It tastes mildly bitter with a nice gentle crunch. Thanks to Maria Treben for that one. Why is there so much suffering in the world when we are surrounded by Herbal Healers?

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 I was always told rosacea was caused by parasites. In any event, Black Walnut extract applied directly on the skin cleared mine up. It is inexpensive and works quickly. , " edgetexlady " <rbright wrote: > > Has anyone come across a natural remedy for rosacea? > > Dede > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Hi Marti! Rosacea is one of the symptoms of estrogen dominance (of course, it's not always due to hormones!). That would make sense in your situation, knowing that you are already having hormonal issues. Progesterone helps to fix skin problems like rosacea, especially if they are due to excess estrogen. Interestingly, there is a National Rosacea Society: http://www.rosacea.org Perhaps this will be helpful. Shana Billie Jo (Crystal Diamond with Neways) suggests and we have had success with this several times: For rosacea, wash the face with TLC/Extra Gentle cleanser, splash Eliminator on the face to destroy the bacteria, (let air dry) then use tender care lotion. Before bedtime, wet a Revenol tablet and massage over the rosacea and leave on until morning. The soothing spray is great spritz for healing rosacea, too and can be used throughout the day. You would also want to switch to the Convert Your Bathroom and fortify diet with Maximol, Noni, and Anatomix.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Any ideas for help with Rosacea? I have acne with it, too, but as long as I am taking Doxycyclene the acne is OK. I’ve been to my regular Dr and to a Derm and all they want to give me are creams, which are extremely expensive, and may or may not work. I tried Diffirin cream and that just made my skin slide off. When I went to the Derm she wanted me to buy 3 other creams, which I just couldn’t afford, and said she didn’t have samples. I could use a little help!! ) Aimee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
