Rosacea Natural Treatment Information

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory condition involving the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead. It may worsen by emotional situations, gastrointestinal or hormonal dysfunction, alcohol, strong teas, overindulgence in spicy or excessively hot or cold foods and exposure to sun or heat. If you are visiting this page, you probably know most of this already.

It occurs mostly in middle aged individuals, mostly affecting woman more than men. It usually starts out with flushing of the cheeks and small acne papules and pustules. To treat this condition, we focus on herbal medicine chosen to clear heat, balance the digestion, and address the factors contributing to it.

Herbs are used to clear heat, the pattern behind redness. It requires a diagnosis based on Chinese Medicine to identify which herbs must be chosen.

How long does it take?

Length of treatment is based on the duration and severity of the rosacea. How people respond varies, and we review your progress at each follow-up.

How much does it cost?

See current fees at /fees/. Visits are more frequent at the beginning. Then larger batches of herbs are prescribed so you will not be visiting me weekly. Each case is different and discussed at your initial consultation.

What do the herbs do?
In Chinese medicine terms, there is typically a lot of extra heat in the body or blood, and treatment aims to clear this heat. A by product of inflammation is heat. Cooling herbs are prescribed to drain heat from the body. Each case is different and symptoms are not the same from patient to patient. Spending ample time during the initial consultation is important to determine the correct course of treatment.
