Question:
Is there anything you are aware of that causes rosacea? How would you treat rosacea? J.L.
Answer:
Rosacea is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition which principally affects the face. Rosacea causes facial redness and produces small, red, pus-filled pustules (bumps). The condition worsens with time if left untreated. It can be mistaken for acne or psoriasis or some other skin allergy.
Causes can be several, including infection by a parasite that is a type of mite known as demodex, that infest the hair follicles and sebaceous ducts. (Dr Mark Dahl, Chairman of the Department of Dermatology at the University of Minnesota Medical School).
Another link is to Helicobacter pylori bacteria that causes stomach ulcers. Herbal ULC-R or HP Fighter is very successful at eliminating this challenge, when taken for at least 3 bottles.
One of my Nature’s Sunshine Consultants had rosacea over ten years ago and in her research she found that the major cause of rosacea is inefficient protein digestion. This would result in undigested protein fermenting, creating toxins and causing inflammation.
The supplements that she took to cure her rosacea were:
Internally:
Protein Digest Aid , Vit E & Selenium,and Essential Fatty Acids EFA’s) such as Super Oil, containing Flax, Evening Primrose Oil, Salmon oil, lecithin (only available in Canada) or Super Omega 3 , available in most countries.
Black walnut liquid tincture, especially effective for parasitic infections including mites, ringworm, lyme, and staph infections.
Externally:
Apply the following 1-3 times per day:
Silver Gel or Aloe Vera Gel with Essential Oils (EOs): 2 drops Lavender, 1 drop Tea Tree Oil and 1 drop Eucalyptus. Other Essential oil used successfully – any combination of which can be added are: 1 drop Oil of Oregano – very good anti-parasitic; 1 drop Helichrysum – prevents scarring; 1 drops Chamomile – anti-inflammatory and healing; and/or 2 drops Rose Geranium – hormonal balancing. These drops of EOs would be for one application, roughly 1/2 – 1 tsp., so you could make a larger batch for convenience. Nature’s Sunshine’s EOs are all therapeutic quality and have so many uses in the Home Beauty and First Aid kit. Contact us for full list and prices.
At the very least, just use Silver Gel, as this will helps with both inflammation and healing.
Others have used Black walnut liquid tincture externally, especially effective for mites, ringworm, lyme bites, staph and other parasitic infections.

I used Metrogel prescription from my doctor for THREE months. It did nothing but give me headaches, which lasted for a month even after I stopped taking it. Also I could not use it on my eyelids, where I have one of the problems. I would like to try something natural.
I will contact you, as it has been ongoing several years now.
Metrogel does ‘help’ some people, but others can have serious side effects besides headaches. This is a partial list: tingling or numbness of the hands and feet, rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing, nausea, head aches.
Herbs and natural products, when used properly do not have negative side effects, and often have positive side effects. I am glad, that after discussing this, you are going to try the natural approach. In my experience in the field of natural healing more than 35 years, I expect you will see improvement. The other difference is that it will be working at the cause, not just a cover-up requiring you to be on it forever.
