Rosacea is a condition that affects thousands of people around the world, but many who suffer from it, do not even know they have it. Rosacea is a skin condition in the face that gives the false appearance that the person who is suffering from it is blushing deeply at all times. They look flushed and uncomfortable and the condition can be embarrassing. In some cases of Rosacea, swelling and pimples can be common, as well.

While doctors are not completely sure what causes Rosacea, it is thought to be a lack of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Some doctors link Rosacea to food allergies or possible alcoholism. It is three times more likely in women than in men.

Treating Rosacea naturally is fairly easy. The first thing is to try to figure out if you have any food allergies. Remember, just because you have not been allergic to something in the past does not mean that you will not ever be. Rosacea is most common in people 30-50, and often times food allergies can show up during that same age span.

Once you have determined in you are eating any foods that you might have an allergy to, the next step is eliminating those foods from your diet. Sometimes this can be harder than it sounds. Yeast allergies seems to be the most common food allergy associated with Rosacea. If not yeast, try to eliminate foods from your diet that are known to dilate blood vessels, such as spicy food, alcohol or caffeine.

Some Rosacea sufferers have found that their most serious outbreaks often coincide with bouts of serious indigestion. This correlation is usually found when eating fatty foods. A basic digestive enzyme pill that was taken before eating showed major improvements for Rosacea sufferers.

Some doctors believe Rosacea has a direct link to the amount of stress you have in your life. If you have the time or the money, taking a short vacation or even something like a weekend spa treatment can be just the thing to help with the amount of stress you have in your life. The number of ailments that people suffer from that are linked to stress are too many to count, so if you are feeling stressed, a vacation is probably a good idea, even if you just relax at home.

The next step if those things do not work is to find out if you have a lack of hydrochloric acid in your stomach. The doctor can prescribe natural hydrochloric acid tablets that you dissolve under your tongue that can help clear up Rosacea.

Some sufferers of Rosacea have found that some skin creams high in aloe or lanolin work to clear up most of the signs of Rosacea.

Others with Rosacea have noticed that taking vitamin b-12 supplements have helped. You can find vitamin B-12 at any grocery store or health food store. The vitamin b-12 link to Rosacea is actually linked through tiny mites that live on the skin, but tend to live in larger numbers on the skin of those that suffer from Rosacea.

The mites block pours and cause an increase in bacteria on the surface of the skin that is thought to lead to Rosacea. An increase in vitamin b helps keep these mites at their normal level, therefore controlling Rosacea.

Because Rosacea is so misunderstood by modern science, finding a consensus cure can be almost impossible. The best thing to do to find the cure that works for you is to talk to a doctor who is well-versed in treating Rosacea and also speak with other Rosacea sufferers to find out what works for them.
