Dear Bob Liebert,

I have been diagnosed with Rosacea. Boy, what a pain! Well not really a pain...just embarassing.

What treatments do you think I should consider?

Dear Friend,

Herbs would include blood purifying and liver herbs(Yellow Dock, Red Clover, Oregon Grape, Dandelion, see Skintone, Blood Pure Formulas). Nettles is a good one to add. For many women, hormonal imbalance may be a large factor (Chaste Berry). Digestive disorders may play a role (Meadowsweet, Digestaid). Cooling astringent herbs applied externally: Witch Hazel, Chickweed.

You can buy these herbs and many more in the Formula and Single Herb sections of the Teeter Creek Herb website. Herbs that don't appear in the Formula or Single Herb lists can usually be requested in the "Message" section at the bottom of the order page.

The information expressed is the personal observations of Herbalist Bob Liebert based on his personal experience and his studies of folk and traditional herbalism. These observations are not meant to be a substitute for qualified medical diagnosis and treatment. Uses of many of the herbs have not been scientifically verified.
