Guest guest Posted April 19, 2001 Report Share Posted April 19, 2001 Dear Erma, I have a close friend that has had rosacea on her face for a long time, so I began looking for something to help her. I noticed most books on herbal and natural remedies don't even list rosacea and the few that do talk about controlling it but nothing to clear it up. But recently as I was researching other problems, I came across two different items that claim to " work " . First, the literature on " oil of oregano " and " Oregamax " mentions using these products for rosacea. I came across it when I was reading in their little booklet called " The Cure is in the Cupboard " . You use the oil topically and take the Oregamax internally- 2 or more capsules daily the bottle says. My Oregamax is manufactured by North American Herb & Spice Co. but I got both the oil and the capsules from a friend in Arkansas who has a little business called " Nature's Bounty " . She is a sweet Christian and is very knowledgeable and helpful. Her e-mail address is elmizner@... or call her () at 870-368-4268. The other item I found in Dr. R. Lee's book, " What your Dr. may not tell you about Menopause " . On p. 253 he says " cea is a rose-colored, flaking inflammation of skin, usually on the face symmetrically adjacent to the nose or forehead, sometimes with itching. It tends to be chronic and recurring. Its cause is unknown, but I have seen it well controlled with B12 injections. Cortisone creams suppress the inflam- mation, but do not cure rosacea. Continued use of fluoridated cortisone preparations results in atrophy of skin cells with permanent detrimental results. My patients using topical progesterone who happen to have rosacea have applied the cream directly to affected skin areas and report excellent results, though I don't know what the mechanism of action could be. " ( He goes on to say it has also cleared up acne in women as well as Seborrhea, psoriasis, and other skin problems). That is probably because most women, especially as they begin to get older have a progesterone deficiency. Of course, this is talking about TRUE Progesterone not synthetic progestins that a lot of doctors have a tendency to call progesterone. This should be required reading for all women on HRT or those who have any problems that may relate to hormonal disorders. You may e-mail me off-list if you want more information about the book. I also have a video and an audio tape about hormones and progesterone by Dr. Lee. He was a speaker at our AIM ( the Barleygreen Co.) Convention in Banff a few years ago. ( AIM also produces a true progesterone cream called Renewed Balance , that I can send you information about if you are interested.) ( I use it to prevent hot flashes and it is a godsend). I hope this will be of some help to you. Blessings, Cora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 29, 2003 Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 I'd sent her some Sea Buckthorn Seed oil or a salve or cream made with it. I have people buying it that tell me it's healing or has healed their rosacea. They use it straight, I use it in the Serious Salve. It is said in the new learning circles that the Demodex mite is what is causing rosacea. One gal who bought my Seed oil told me about it, she said hers is going awaywith using it. " They " say the mite comes out at nite, which most mites do, and feed on the skin. Mites are on us all the time, they are just so microscopic you can't see them.

Hi -I was going tonpost about this last week as I had a customer with this facial condition and I felt all I could do was to offer moisturizing facial lotion(contains shea but no pore clogging beeswax) and told her I would do research. I am going through very early menopause and have had my own skin problems with breakouts that never really become pimples-just itchy red spots around my jawline . Found out it is normal for someone going through what I am.I thought rosacia was also caused by internal turbulance-hormonal? Thanks for helping me with this one.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 cea is actually more the manifestation of extreme sensitivity than a classic acne per se. I always suggested that people with rosacea use the most mild of cleansers and moisturizers. A minute amount of Neroli EO can be added, or as Marge says, Helichrysum hydro is excellent. Strongly urge this person to be seen by a good dermatologist (not you run-of-the-mill Dr) because left untreated, rosacea can result in disfigurement of the nose (think W.C. Fields) and even cause blindness if it spreads to the eyes. Good advice is to avoid spicy foods, red wine, cheeses, extreme hot or cold. A google search should turn up a whole lot of information.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Hi Debbie, Lynda is correct about rosacea. I went through life with a red nose. Hahaha.... It can also get worse with stress. Unrefined shea and the black soap really helped me when nothing else would so I will always bat for those two products now. But that is my own personal experience. Those two products are so gentle and extensive tests by the French have been done : Pobeda, Michel - 1999. I use them everyday now. Hugs, .

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 In a message dated 1/25/2005 1:15:58 PM Eastern Standard Time, mcpherson.bg@... writes: Do any of you have experience with rosacea? I My layman's understanding of what causes rosacea and most skin ailments is eating avoid foods that strip away the mucus film along the digestive tract. This allows avoid lectins and toxins to go directly through the tissue and into the bloodstream. The " poison " then tries to get out of the body through the skin instead of the liver and kidneys. That's what makes DEFLECT a nice thing to take if you're " trapped " into eating avoids. It keeps the lectins in solution (inside the digestive tract) until they're passed out of the body.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 rosacea > Do any of you have experience with rosacea? I have sporadic outbreaks. For about a year it was continual, but when I started doing the low-carb thing, it got a *LOT* better. I could do some low-carb bread (and even though that's an avoid, still do once in a great while), but corn seems to be my biggest avoid. I can and do eat low glycemic fruits (mostly berries, sometimes alone, but mostly in smoothies) but I can clearly see a connection between BTD and the rosacea, maybe as much as the carbs, since brown rice doesn't seem to trigger it. (NOTE: These are only personal observations, they may not apply to everyone, or even anyone buy me.) Anyway - I only use oral antibiotics as a last resort, it's been years now, but have tried the topical ones on my face - they don't work. What *does* work (for me, anyway) is a homeopathic product from Weleda, called " wound-care " . Active ingredients are Mercurialis perennis, Balsamum peruvianum and Calendula officinalis. It does have a peanut oil base, but since I'm not eating it, I'm hoping that it's not an " avoid " , since it's the thing that works best for me. There is a " rosacea diet " that restricts you to something stupid, like 5 grams of carb a day - I have just as much luck using low-GI and BTD.

Hi, Not directly in that a homeopath does not diagnose, only in terms of handling various kinds of rashes and skin eruptions as a homeopath. Two options here if you are open to homepathy: The rosacea will be there for a reason - and if you can figure or handle the reason - homeopathically - it will go away. How I would do that is by seeing a good homeopath who can plan a remedy to rebuild health so you no longer have a tendency to get the problem. Second best option is to try homeopathic first aid for the rash itself: This is less of a sure thing in that it does not remove the inclination for the problem to recur. I'd suggest a homeopathic cream called hypercal containing calendula and hypericum. The calendula induces healthy cells in place of unhealthy ones and the hypericum is a nerve calmer or pain reliever type action. One place to get " hypercal " cream is bach.com and there are other brands, some better than others. The cream base is the difference and should be as bland as possible, not full of potential irritants like peanut oil or avocado. Unfortunately most brands in the USA are indeed full of irritants. I import mine from A.White in South Africa - they manufacture it bland as that is the correct way to have it - and safe to eat. (As I work mainly in veterinary homeopathy, I like the safe to eat aspect!) > By the way, thank you, Irene, for your words about sugar and hot flashes.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 At the local Whole Foods I found some homeopathic cream " with hypericum & calendula " distributed by Bach USA. The base is apricot kernel oil, no avocado or peanut. My rosacea is nearly cleared up, though, probably because I stopped the tangerines. Anyway, I will now have this on hand (as well as the olive oil-based ointment with calendula I found last week) for any further such outbreaks. Thanks again, Ellen and Irene, for the advice on topicals. I think someone else wrote, too, but now I can't find that post. Thank you, whoever you are!

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Hi everyone, I had saline implants 8 years. I got very ill became bedridden and lost my job. I'm 15 months post explant and alot of my symtoms are gone. I'm very blessed. However, my face is still pink and rough. I have enlarged pores and cystic zits. Did anyone else have these problems?

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 , I was diagnosed with rosacea by one of the first doctors in Las Vegas that I saw, though I had never been told I had it before. I never had acne issues, so I didn't know what to believe. However, at a facial one day, the woman told me I did indeed have rosacea. It's very small and unnoticeable.... I'm sorry you are dealing with the discouragement of a full blown case. What I can suggest is a tea tree oil wash and blemish blotter from Trader Joe's...the brand is Desert Essence. It's very effective on skin eruptions, insect bites, etc, due to the essential tea tree oils in it. You can also buy this brand on the net. You can see their products at www.iherb.com http://www.iherb.com/Desert-Essence Hope this helps. Patty > > Hi everyone, > > I had saline implants 8 years.
