Guest guest Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 Remission of rosacea induced by reduction of gut transit time. cea is a chronic disorder characterized by hypersensitivity of the facial vasculature, presenting with intense flushing eventually leading to chronic erythema and telangiectasia. Although the precise aetiology of rosacea is not known, numerous associations with inflammatory gastrointestinal tract disorders have been reported. ....a patient without digestive tract disease is described, who experienced complete remission of rosacea symptoms following ingestion of a material intended to sweep through the digestive tract and reduce transit time below 30 h. ----------------- Here are a couple of other possible treatments for rosacea. The first is lymphatic facial drainage. My wife used to suffer from rosacea constantly. I can't remember the last time she had a flare- up. I basically treated hers with lymphatic drainage. In addition to treating the rosacea, it also improves complexion and skin tone in general, as well as helping soften the appearance of wrinkles. The lymphatic facial is one of my wife's favorites - it is extremely soothing and relaxing. My wife views it more as pampering than " treatment work. " It is not uncommon for her to request it in (for her) very technical terms " Do one of those face things. " A variation on it is to add some specific acupressure points to the routine for a mini-face lift treatment. The acupressure stimulates the circulation and the LDT removes the toxins. Based on the article talking about remission of symptoms by improving gut transit time to less than 30 hours raises another possibility. I haven't tried this yet, but my supposition is that visceral manipulation, chi nei tsang and even some types of standard abdominal massage would all be helpful for this. I categorically know that it is possible to help/improve digestive function with various types of bodywork, some more so than others. I just have never tried any of that aspect for treating rosacea since I had not heard about the 30 hours phenomonom until reading this post.
