Natural Rosacea Cures

If you're looking for natural rosacea cures and you don't want to mess around with courses or oral antibiotics or topical medications, you can always try natural remedies. These natural rosacea treatments are calming for your skin and your gastric system.

Make Dietary Changes
Avoid hot drinks, spicy food, high-sugar foods, chocolate and avocado. Eat berries, drink cold drinks and eat lots of vegetables and lean meats.

Iced Fenugreek Tea
Steep fenugreek tea according to directions. Let the tea cool, then pour over ice and drink without sweetener or with a small amount of honey.

Apply Cold Compresses
Soak a small hand towel in ice cold water. Gently press the cold wash cloth to your face for up to ten minutes at a time. Refresh and repeat as often as needed.

Apply Cucumber Slices
You may find slices of cucumbers to be soothing. Replace with fresh cucumber slices as soon as they begin trapping heat against your skin, every ten minutes or so.

Chew Ice Chips
Chew ice chips to combat flushing brought on by heat, strenuous exercise or consumption of hot food.

Ph Balancing Diet
Some alternative health specialists say rosacea is linked with a high acid level in the blood stream. These people advocate a change in diet that is intended to raise the alkalinity of your body. Supposedly this will provide relief from rosacea. This is done by drinking water and eating high alkaline foods and resisting high acid foods and beverages. Interestingly enough, the Ph levels of most of these foods correlate with the list above. You may want to check in with a naturopath about altering your body Ph in this manner and watch to see if it helps.

Grapefruit Seed Compresses
These compresses are soaked in grapefruit seed lotions, then applied to irritated parts of your face as an effort to remove as many of the mites-which all of us naturally have on our skin-as possible. You can buy these grapefruit seed lotions from natural food stores or a naturopath.
