Putting Out The Flames of Rosacea
If you suffer from Rosacea and want to treat it once and for all then keep reading. Just like acne, rosacea is due to an internal imbalance. In traditional Chinese medicine we believe rosacea to be a condition of excess heat accumulated in the lung, spleen or stomach meridian. As a consequence the pathogenic heat builds up and leads to stagnation of blood and heat. The lung and stomach channels reach the face and that is why you see this excess heat expressed on the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead as flushing and red spots.
This excess heat will be worsened with the consumption of alcohol, spicy foods, coffee and other heat producing foods. It is important to follow a healthy diet comprised of cooling and neutral foods to reduce and eliminate the excess heat accumulated in the body.
A successful rosacea treatment program should include acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and nutritional guidance to address the internal imbalance.
The external signs of rosacea can be quickly reduced and eliminated with facial acupuncture, photo rejuvenation and LED light therapy. These three treatments are very safe and effective and require no downtime.
