Featured Topic: Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory condition involving the nose, cheeks, forehead, and chin. Rosacea occurs most frequently in middle-aged individual (30 to 50 years old), women more often than men, but also affects young adults and the elderly.

According to western medicine. It is caused by long-term dilation of the local blood capillaries, which is due to dysfunction of the vasomotor nerves.

Predilection for alcohol, indigestion, endocrine imbalance, and persistent external climate acting upon the skin, like working under high temperature, sunburn, and exposure to wind are all precipitating factors.

However my many years’ research and experience have revealed that there are other factors will exacerbate Rosacea condition and they include strong tea, overindulgence in spicy food or excessively hot or cold food.
