Natural Treatments For Rosacea

Avoid Consuming Alcohol

Alcohol can be fairly problematic for rosacea patients. The most common triggers are red wine, white wine, and beer. Alcohol dilates the blood vessels. This effect is enhanced in red wine, since it contains tyramines. The blood vessel dilation is part of why rosacea patients experience flare-ups after drinking alcoholic beverages. Drinking alcohol over time can even make the patient’s overall symptoms worse, even when they haven’t alcohol immediately before a flare-up. This is why patients suffering from rosacea should avoid consuming alcohol. If they do not want to eliminate alcohol, they should, at the very least, drink lots of water when they do have alcohol. A good measure is one glass of water per alcoholic beverage.
