Ayurvedic View Of Rosacea
As per Ayurveda, Rosacea is Pitta dominant disorder. Redness and burning sensation are the predominant symptom. The patient normally complaints of redness and feeling of heat sensation over the face which normally aggravates when exposed to Sun or in hot environment. An ayurvedic treatment of rosacea begins with cleansing the blood of toxins and using lifestyle activities to reduce excess pitta. Ayurveda uses herbs to cleanse the blood. To manage the symptoms of rosacea, ayurvedic healing mostly recommends pacifying the pitta exacerbation by personalising a diet comprising of cool, sweet, stabilizing foods by replacing those that are sour, spicy, salty, or pungent.
