One of the most frequent and harrowing skin disease, rosacea, is mainly found to appear in white skinned adults between the age groups of 30 and 60 years. Women are mostly affected by this disease. This skin disorder is often characterized by the presence of redness on the skin, abrupt blushes, swelled nose which is also known as rhinophyma, and itchy and watery eyes. Although still no specific remedy of this disease could be found, nevertheless, some natural treatments for rosacea have been in use for long time among patients which are quite effective in lessening the redness and other symptoms to a greater extent. Golden chamomile cream: Creams made from the extract of the herb golden chamomile or Chrysanthellum Indicum have been studied for the remedy of rosacea. Chemicals present in the extract of this herb are found to be quite effective in strengthening the tiny blood vessels, which in turn help in improving the symptoms, including redness in facial area, inflammation, etc.
Studies have shown that extract of green tea might leave significant effect over rosacea. Creams made from green tea extract are often used by patients for minimizing the symptoms caused by rosacea. It has been found that creams containing this extract and 2% polyphenone are immensely effective in minimizing the number of rosacea flare-ups. Creams containing vitamin B: Another natural treatment for rosacea could be the use of vitamin B3 or niacinamide. Topical applications made from this vitamin are found to be extremely useful in improving the strength of our cutaneous layer; also it is known to enhance the moisture level of our skin thereby mitigating the inflammation.
Deficiency of some enzymes that are directly involved in our digestive process could trigger rosacea in some people. It has been found that some patients with rosacea often get affected by indigestion, especially after the intake of oily or fat containing food items. After medical investigation it has been detected that their body system lacks one pancreatic enzyme called lipase. After the regular administration of lipase supplements along with meals, those patients have shown significant improvements in rosacea. Apple cider vinegar: This wonderful natural product is nothing but the dilute solution of acetic acid produced by the fermentation of apple juice. This popular natural treatment for rosacea is often used orally to assuage this skin disorder. It is believed that apple cider vinegar helps to induce the production of digestive enzymes which in turn help to normalize the bacterial balance in the intestine.
Fenugreek tea: This unique natural product is found to be quite effective in treating rosacea. You might use fenugreek tea available in the store or otherwise you also could get some fenugreek from your nearby grocery and soak them in boiling water for 10 minutes. Decant the homemade fenugreek tea and drink it to help the damages caused by rosacea. Oatmeal is also known as a natural treatment for rosacea. This natural product is antimicrobial in nature and quite helpful in preventing bacterial proliferation in the pustules and papules of rosacea. Oatmeal also contains a number of antioxidants which are quite useful to heal the skin damages caused by rosacea. There are quite a few formulations available which contain oatmeal as one of their ingredients which you might purchase from your nearby store to use this natural treatment.

Strange episodes during sleep
By: Theresa | 21-07-2008
My daughter and myself need to understand more about these episodes she experiences on a weekly basis, here goes...she falls asleep but a some point she is aware that she is awake..her eyes can open but she can't move..she trembles and experiences a overwhelming loudness as if she was strapped to a train...she has to focus and "fight" to wake herself up out of the stage she is in. Just the other night she felt as if someone was pressing her down into her bed..she couldn't move her arms or yell..she want to yell but couldn't. I have had a similiar sort of episode myself but only once. She almost feels as if she is having a near death experience. She tries to explain to me that she sometimes feels as if she's spinning wildly. The key points however seem to be the loud almost train like noises and the heart pounding and the feeling of having to beat this and fight herself to wake up...all while her eyes are open and she can see her surroundings. My daughter is 21 and has this going on weekly. It upsets her so so much. I would assume she is stuck between two stages of a sleep pattern. As I'm trying here to explain these strange circumstances I can't help but to compare it to the horrow stories we may have all herard of of when someone is being operated on and the doctors think they are anesticized and asleep but they feel and hear everthing but their cant move or yell out for help. Please share any thoughts or comments that may help or at least make her feel better.
