Using herbs as a complementary treatment for Rosacea by Chloe Kor
With the increasing concerns in overuse of antibiotics for disease treatment, more and more people have resorted to using herbs in an effort to reduce the dependence on antibiotics for diseases, especially for diseases caused by bacterial infections (viral infections cannot be treated by antibiotics).
Rosacea is a chronic disease, which essentially means that if drugs were to be prescribed for this disease, it would have to be taken on a regular basis. This should raise some concerns because our liver would have to work doubly hard if there’s prolonged use of medications for a long period of time as breaking down of chemical compounds in the drugs is essential.
As such, it would definitely help if knowledge on natural/alternative treatment for Rosacea can be shared. Having more options is definitely better than none. Of course, as always, always seek professional advice and help if you are unsure about anything. Information presented is only to be taken as a reference and for your own research purposes.
Our health is our very own asset. Some research and looking up of information for our very own health’s benefits have to be done. It’s good to know more and from then, decide on the treatment best suited for oneself. The following information will include some herbs which have been reported to be beneficial for Rosacea sufferers. Do take note that Rosacea sufferers may differ greatly in their symptoms and what work well in one may in fact trigger flares for another
Camphor Oil (Cinnamonum camphora)
This compound has been shown to reduce infestation density of demodicoses which are often associated with Rosacea. However, do be informed that camphor oil is a skin irritant. Do check with your dermatologist if it is suitable for yourself.
Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca alternifolia)
This is a common ingredient which we have very often seen in skin care products. It is known for its anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory effects. However, do note that tea tree oil has been known to have side effects like allergic contact dermatitis and systemic contact dermatitis.
Lavender (genus Lavandula)
Studies in animal models revealed that lavender can be used to treat painful and inflammatory conditions.
Chamomile (Matricaria recutita and Chamaemelum nobile)
The active components of chamomile contribute to its anti-inflammatory and soothing effects. Chamomile has been documented to reduce inflammations in patients with various inflammatory dermatoses.
Oatmeal
Oatmeal has moisturizing properties and can alleviate itch due to dry skin. Oatmeal promote protection of the skin barrier function, which is often impaired in Rosacea patients.
Green Tea (Camellia sinensis)
Green tea has been well-documented to possess anticarcinogenic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Rosacea sufferers should reduce sun exposure as it is one of the most common environmental triggers for flares. Green tea, with its photoprotective properties, may lessen reactivity to ultraviolet light. This might in turn lead to reduction in signs and symptoms of Rosacea.
For a start, you might wish to look out for the herbs mentioned above to alleviate symptoms of Rosacea. However, if you are unsure, please do seek opinions from your dermatologist first.

Eczema $58.94 Eczema is a disease in a form of dermatitis, or inflammation of the epidermis. The term eczema is broadly applied to a range of persistent skin conditions. These include dryness and recurring skin rashes that are characterized by one or more of these symptoms: redness, skin edema (swelling), itching and dryness, crusting, flaking, blistering, cracking, oozing, or bleeding. Areas of temporary skin discoloration may appear and are sometimes due to healed lesions, although scarring up is rare. In contrast to psoriasis, eczema is often likely to be found on the flexor aspect of joints.
