Guest guest Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 Hi there, I just wanted to share with all of you that my rosacea is under control, and I didn't have to cleanse and fast to get it that way. I understand that on this list, many of you believe in fasting and cleansing, but for me personally, I am opposed to it. I don't feel like going into the why's and all that, but I just wanted to say that it is possible for Rosacea to be undercontrol and very nearly GONE without fasting. One herb that has helped me is Nettle. I notice a big difference in my skin. I make a strong infusion and drink a total of about ten cups a per week. What made the biggest difference though, is that I have been focusing lately on getting a balanced diet. One other thing that helps a lot is my cleansing regimen. I don't wash my face in the morning. I splash it with water then apply an spf cream with retinol. At night, I cleanse with either honey or milk, tone with rosemary water, then apply some moisturizer (aloe vera gel, grapeseed oil, or a multi-vitamin cream). I find that the oil has helped me a lot, which I am a little perplexed by. Sometimes I cleanse with oil. Oil is not supposed to help Rosacea according to Western thinking. But, I read up on ayurveda and I realized that in that system, the opposite was true. I just wanted to share my experiences.
