Re: Remission of rosacea induced by reduction of gut transit time.

[Guest guest]

I'm not sure if I have rosacea - but I do have rosy red cheeks -

accompanied by acne - and it is definitely tied to what it going on

in my gut!

I'm not sure if I have rosacea - but I do have rosy red cheeks -

Just mark it down on your list of things when I swing by there this

summer. Learning how to do a lymphatic facial is pretty easy to do.

I can show you (and whoever else in your household you also want

taught to work on you later), how to do it pretty quickly. If you do

have rosacea, it should help (would also help with the acne).

And if you don't have rosacea, it is still an incredibly relaxing

treatment to get.
