Research states that Rosacea is a type of facial skin inflammation which is triggered by high stress and an overactive immune system. This in turn causes excessive cortisol which disrupts proper digestion, absorption, and elimination. It is important to know that allergic immune responses are caused by inflammatory foods or substances such as Dairy, Gluten, Wheat, Sugar, Alcohol, Coffee, and Nicotine.
Rosacea shows up as a rash, area of red, sensitive, inflamed skin and eyes. This is caused by irritation, allergies, infections, underlying conditions, lymphatic congestion, high stress, blocked pores, or malfunctioning oil glands. Rosacea is similar to skin rashes, acne, dermatitis, eczema, hives, pityriasis, and psoriasis
4 Subtypes of Rosacea:
- Facial Redness, flushing, visible blood vessels, sun damage
- Acne, breakout, sensitivity, genetic factor
- Swelling, fluid retention (edema), skin thickening around nose with redness developing
- Ocular Rosacea redness and irritation around eyes
Holistic Research shows there is a direct connection between skin disorders (rosacea, acne, dermatitis, and psoriasis) and inflammatory gastrointestinal tract disorders (IBS, Leaky gut Syndrome, Ulcerative Colitis, SIBO).
Root Causes & Symptoms of Rosacea are: pH imbalance (acidity) – Underlying GI inflammation – Leaky Gut – Nutrient Malabsorption of B12, Magnesium & Iron – Low Essential Fatty Acids – Food intolerances – Sinusitis – Itchy Ears – Immune System Issues – Bloating – Gas – Thyroid Conditions – Fatigue – Adrenal exhaustion – Joint Pain – Headaches – Acne – Skin rashes – Hives – Digestive problems – Weight gain – Metabolic Syndrome
My 10 years of experience as a RMT treating Rosacea in myself, female and male clients has helped me to research and practice positive evidence – informed solutions!!

Drink Alkaline Pure Water as a foundational principle for a healthy lymph and blood system! Our water system is full of liquefied chlorine, fluoride, aluminium sulphate, calcium hydroxide, nitrates, pesticides, lead, arsenic, radium, copper, mercury, cadmium, barium, hormones, and toxic metal salts. Chemicals are used to kill bacteria and micro-organisms in the water which then kills your gut flora and corrodes your intestines causing tissue breakdown, tearing and inflammation from a highly acidic body.
Also drink a cup of warm pure water with Lemon Juice (or Apple Cider Vinegar) as a powerful detoxer each morning before you eat hydrates your lymph system! It boosts your immune system; balances your pH; helps with your weight loss; clears your skin; aids your digestion; and acts as a gentle natural diuretic! Also Lymphatic drainage Herbal Teas such as, Fennel, Red Clover, Echinacea, Peppermint, and special Lymphatic System Booster Tea: ½ TSP of Ginger, Fenugreek seeds, Cumin seeds, Coriander seeds, ½ inch peeled fresh ginger boiled in 4-5 cups of water for 5-10 minutes.
Holistic Nutritional research advocates a Ketogenic or Paleo Diet and Lifestyle to effectively treat Rosacea. A Ketogenic or Paleo Diet focuses on eliminating inflammatory foods, ie. Dairy, Gluten, Wheat, Sugar, Alcohol and Coffee. Traditional North American Diets are inflammatory and are causing serious diseases such as Cancer! So as we turn to a Ketogenic or Paleo Diet we replace our reliance on carbohydrates or as our fuel and we turn to fats and proteins as our fuel which leans out muscles and decreases inflammation immediately.
The Ketogenic or Paleo Diet uses local, fresh, clean, diversified, and organic foods such as, organic meats, chicken, fish (salmon), walnuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and organic cruciferous vegetables (squashes, sweet potatoes, zucchini, beets, carrots, broccoli, brussels sprouts, collard greens, purple cabbage, kale, swiss chard, spinach, leafy greens). The Ketogenic Diet eliminates inflammation, bad bacteria and yeast infection (Candidiasis) in your colon often the underlying root causes of Rosacea.
The Ketogenic Diet supports balancing your body through increasing good Omega 3 fats (coconut oil, cold pressed olive oil, coconut butter, coconut milk, avocado oil, flax seed oil). Also decrease inflammation and high histamine with Wild fresh Herbs like turmeric, ginger, garlic, thyme, rosemary, onions, leaks, cumin, coriander, asafoetida, and saffron. Systemic inflammation in the body strains the blood cleansing and detoxing organs in the body such as, the liver and gallbladder. Holistic research advocates liver and gallbladder support with Milk Thistle; as well as Adrenal support or Herbal adaptogens at the Health Store
