ROSACEAEWHAT DOES IT MEAN? WHAT'S CAUSING IT? WHAT CAN YOU DO?

Rosacea may indicate a congested liver or upward moving heat. The cause of upward moving heat may be toxicity or infection, including sinus or ear infection. It is generally Kapha aggravating/blocking Pitta. Heat should be redirected downwards with bitters.

Most people have a weakness in one or more organs. These areas of weakness are the 'weak link in the chain.' They are first to succumb when an imbalance reaches a tipping point. Repairing imbalances in this category often represent your last opportunity to prevent disease. At any moment, these imbalances could overwhelm weakened tissue and develop into a disease. You may feel pain or discomfort in the weakened area. At this stage you will need to support the weakened tissue with specialized foods and herbs for the weakened tissue.

HOW AYURVEDA WORKS
ARE YOU WONDERING HOW AYURVEDA CAN HELP YOU?
WHY IS AYURVEDA THE RIGHT SOLUTION?Ayurveda strengthens the body, in addition to addressing the disorder. It take a holistic, systemic approach, instead of myopically focusing on the disorder in question. Ayurveda shows a person how to interpret signs and symptoms of imbalance, and how to address them using materials from home, so they can optimize their health on a continual basis. You can't take the doctor home with you, but you can take Ayurveda home with you. Ayurveda is the most advanced and easy to use home system for self healing with an exceptional focus on digestion.HOW DOES AYURVEDA WORK?Ayurveda starts by identifying your body type, which identifies certain tendencies in your body to get sick (as well as identifying your strengths). It uses body type to determine the likely root causes of your disorders. Next, Ayurveda analyzes the nature of your disorder. It fits all your signs and symptoms into a pattern, expressed as a combination of gunas / qualities. For example, you may have a heat disorder, a cold disorder, or an oily disorder, etc. This simple categorical approach shows you how to correct systemic imbalances and strengthen your body as a whole.On Joyful Belly, we've created an extensive categorization of food so you can easily match food to your imbalances (gunas). By eating an optimal diet that balances your gunas, your whole body is strengthened and the conditions that created the disorder are removed. Once the root causes of the disease are removed, the disease lessens in strength or disappears altogether. Additional remedies - such as herbs and lifestyle practices - focused on the specific disorder, can greatly enhance your healing.

Comments & Personal ExperiencesHow does 'rosaceae' affect your quality of life? What aggravates it? What has helped you? Is there something you'd like to know about 'rosaceae'?
Hi John,Great article. I have 2 questions. I developed rosacea and trying to heal ayurvedically. I noticed that the two doshas that are up are Pitta and Kapha. Yet, some of the recommended foods are aggravating for Pitta or Kapha. Should they be balanced with the respective spices to make them PK friendly?I was also wondering, I read in one of Dr. V. Lad's books that Neem may not be effective in cases of low blood pressure. This is my case - 60-90 or 65-90 is my norm since I am about 7-10 years old. Is this also your experience? I have taken neem first individually and then in a herbal formula, but am not sure whether it was effective for me. I also read that taking herbs for too long damages the stomach and that they should be taken in the accute phase and then food is to be used as medicine. Do you see it similarly? I have had a parellel indigestion issues, affecting stomach and intestine... Using food as medicine resonates with me deeply... :)Thank you and warm regards,Milena
We do have a list of recipes that are balancing to both Pitta and Kapha which you may find helpful:https://www.joyfulbelly.com/Ayurveda/recipes/dosha/kapha/dosha/PittaWe also have a list of ingredients that are balancing to Pitta and Kapha:https://www.joyfulbelly.com/Ayurveda/ingredients/dosha/pitta/dosha/KaphaIt sounds like you would also benefit from a one on one consultation. It's challenging to give general answers to specific herbal questions. It often depends on the person. We are currently running a half price special on initial consultations.
Thank you Kimberly!
