Rosacea is a common skin disease that causes redness and swelling on the face and is often characterized by flare-ups followed by periods of remission. Redness and tiny pimples often occur on the cheeks, nose, chin, or forehead. In severe cases, excess tissue can cause the nose to appear swollen and bumpy. Small visible blood vessels may appear on the face and rosacea may also cause eye irritation. Rosacea usually begins after age 30. The exact cause is still unknown.

In TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) pathology, it is thought that there is excessive heat (toxins) accumulated in the lungs, liver, and stomach channels which can flare up showing symptoms on the face. Therefore, external treatment with a cream is not sufficient. The better approach is to detoxify your body because it then expels the toxins from inside and prevents the problems from coming back. *

Understanding Rosacea

Many people who have rosacea tend to go undiagnosed due to thinking that they simply have sensitive skin or tend to blush or flush more easily. Still others mistakenly believe that they have acne. However, the condition is not something that a person can outgrow, and it will get worse if it is not treated or controlled over time.
While the actual cause of rosacea, which is not contagious or infectious, is not known, it is believed that the condition starts with a genetic abnormality that lessens the ability of the body to control facial inflammation. The condition is often aggravated by repeated episodes of blushing or flushing, which can make the blood vessels in the face more noticeable. Additionally, as flare-ups continue, it can lead to the bumps that resemble acne on the chin, cheeks and forehead. It is this level of inflammation that often leads sufferers to believe they are simply dealing with a pimple outbreak.
Rosacea typically affects those who have light or fair skin and that are between the ages of 30 to 50 years of age. While the condition is seen much more often in women, it is common in men, who generally have much more severe cases of the condition. Some of the most common risk factors are being of Scottish, Irish or English descent, a family history of rosacea, blushing easily, having fair skin and going through menopause.

Rosacea Triggers

While the cause of rosacea is unknown, researchers have determined that there are triggers that can cause flares:

• Frequent or easy blushing
• Certain prescription medications
• Embarrassment, fear, anxiety and/or stress
• Exposure to the sun or heat
• Strong or brisk wind
• Spicy foods
• Alcohol

Rosacea Symptoms

In order to consider rosacea treatment, it is important to understand the symptoms. Rosacea flares, which occur when the symptoms increase, may happen within a few days of each other, or may not recur for years. However, when they do occur, they include the following:

• Flushing or blushing
• Reddening of the skin in the cheeks, chin, nose and forehead
• A burning sensation on the skin
• Red, bumpy areas
• Cysts and small, pimple-like sores in the later stages

The lungs bring the oxygen to the body and convert it to energy for the cells. The digestive system absorbs nutrients into the circulatory system to nourish the tissues and cells. Proper balance and function of the liver, lungs, and digestive system maintains a healthy body, thus your skin can greatly benefit from detoxification.
