8 Holistic Treatments to Help Ease Rosacea Symptoms

Rosacea is a skin condition that causes redness, bumps, and inflammation on the face, and while there is no known cure, many natural and holistic skincare treatments may help ease symptoms. Here are eight examples:

1. Gentle cleansing: Use a gentle, non-foaming cleanser to avoid stripping the skin of its natural oils, which can lead to increased redness and inflammation.
2. Sun protection: Protecting the skin from the sun's harmful rays can help prevent flare-ups. Use a mineral-based sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, and wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses when outdoors.
3. Cold compress: Applying a cold compress to the affected area may help reduce redness and inflammation.
4. Aloe vera gel: Aloe vera has soothing and anti-inflammatory properties that may help ease rosacea symptoms. Apply pure aloe vera gel* to affected areas as needed. *Aloe Vera should be used directly from a fresh-cut leaf from the plant as most of the healing properties are 'cooked out' in processing
5. Green tea: Green tea has anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce redness and inflammation. Brew a cup of green tea, chill, and apply it to the affected area as a compress with a cotton pad or cloth.
6. Honey: Honey has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties that may help soothe rosacea. Apply raw honey to the affected area and leave it on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing off.
7. Probiotics: Probiotics may help improve gut health, which can improve skin health. Add probiotic-rich foods like yogurt and kefir to your diet, or take a probiotic supplement.
8. Anti-inflammatory diet: Incorporating anti-inflammatory foods like leafy greens, fatty fish, and berries into your diet may help reduce inflammation and improve overall skin health.
