What exactly is acne rosacea? MedlinePlus helps us: Rosacea is a long-term disease that affects your skin and sometimes your eyes. It causes redness and pimples. Rosacea is most common in women and people with fair skin. It most often affects middle-aged and older adults.
In most cases, rosacea only affects the face. Symptoms can include
- Frequent redness of the face, or flushing
- Small, red lines under the skin
- A swollen nose
- Thick skin, usually on the forehead, chin, and cheeks
- Red, dry, itchy eyes and sometimes vision problems
- Acne
That said, is it Hopeless? Can we successfully treat and use natural cleansers and exfoliators for this condition?
Well, doesn’t all disease have the same origin? Toxemia and malnutrition? Remember “mal” means bad. So today’s daily menu, for many people, is “bad” nutrition and not enough to restore and replace damaged cells. Though we may think of malnutrition as being without any food, it more often than not can refer to consuming foods with little to no value to shore up cell walls and create a healthy immune system and microbiome.
In fact, research and experience have shown skin issues such as acne rosacea, eczema, and psoriasis are related to incomplete digestion, especially of carbohydrates. Yes. As usual, more disorders caused by a malfunctioning gut. And nowadays cumulative research has revealed how to keep our gut (microbiome within digestive organs) happy, healthy, and strong enough to ward off acne rosacea and many other problems.
Though topical treatments such as the natural bar soap, Facial Scrub (foam up face and let it sit for a minute or two before rinsing) and Rosehip Renew can help relieve some of the symptoms, we cannot ignore the role of diet in our recovery. Adding a variety of plant fibers can feed our microbiome so that it contains prolific and plentiful bacteria and other beneficial microbes.
Then, add Digestive Enzymes. These little workers when taken on an empty stomach, can help the body digest damaging cells in the bloodstream. And taking these high quality enzymes just before we put anything in our mouths will provide workers to fully digest our carbohydrates and all other macros.
If your budget allows, it can’t hurt to add some raw greens and fruits to your diet in the form of GreensFirst and Greensfirst Berry. High quality probiotics and oxygen colon cleaning would also be very helpful.
