Natural Rosacea Cures Used By A Holistic Healer

If you really want to do something wonderful for your skin, you can heal the inflamed tissues and relieve a little stress by making a face mask.

Here are the ingredients to use:

* 1/2 ripe avocado, smashed
* 1.5 tablespoons finely chopped oats
* 2 tablespoons coconut oil
* 1 tablespoon honey
* 1 cup brewed green tea, cooled
* Essential oils – two drops lavender, roman chamomile or frankincense

Soak oats in 2 tablespoons green tea for a few minutes, and then add avocado, honey and coconut oil, stirring to make a thick paste. Mix in essential oil and add a few drops of green tea, then stir to desired consistency. Apply to face and allow setting for 10-15 minutes, then remove with a damp, soft cloth. Rinse gently and pat dry. Use once or twice a week for best results.

Trigger Reduction

Natural remedies allow the body to express itself and release toxic emotions, but there are many environmental conditions that can exacerbate the symptoms of rosacea. It’s important to reduce your exposure to extreme weather conditions or other major fluctuations in temperature or comfort level.

* Chill Out – avoid heat producing foods and beverages like alcohol, spices or hot beverages

* Don’t Be A Hero – take it easy on extreme physical activity until symptoms clear up, then increase activity level slowly and as weather conditions allow

* Seek Cover – temperature changes such as wind, rain, sun, snow, cold or extreme heat can all contribute to redness; limit your exposure to the elements as much as possible

* Don’t Sweat It – spending time in hot tubs or steam saunas can increase skin irritation

Even though rosacea is not a serious condition, it is important to find a cure that works for you, since leaving it untreated can cause irreparable damage to the skin. The characteristic redness and small bumps of rosacea can also be damaging to one’s self-esteem.

Finding not only a skin care routine but also a stress management plan is extremely important to treating the symptoms of rosacea. When you take the time to listen to your body and care for it properly, you will simply glow – inside and out.
