Discover natural remedies for controlling rosacea instead of relying on drugs with side effects and high costs.

What is Rosacea? Rosacea is a disease that reddens the face and sometimes the neck and chest. Some 45 million people worldwide have it. It can cause acne-like pustules and make your eyes feel like they're full of sand. It can make your nose grow. It's not fatal but it may devastate your life because it makes your face look ugly. No one knows what causes it and no one knows how to cure it.

What can I do about it? Fortunately, there are ways to control rosacea. We know that anything from too much sun to a lot of stress to the foods you eat can trigger an outbreak because they make your skin flush. Physicians frequently prescribe tetracycline and ointments to reduce the redness but those medications can have side effects, sometimes bad ones. It's better to prevent the outbreaks in the first place and to use treatments that are natural and, if at all possible, harmless. That's what we talk about here.
