Rosacea Natural Remedy #5 Kanuka Honey
Kanuka honey is not as well known as nanuka honey. Kanuka Honey is made by bees who visit primarily one bush – the Kunzea ericoides bush.
According to Honeylab science director Shaun Holt, who also lectures at Wellington’s Victoria University, rosacea is caused by mites and associated bacteria living deep in the skin, and the symptoms are an inflammatory reaction to these. Medical kanuka honey is effective at killing micro-organisms and reducing inflammation, and Holt claims that was the reason it worked so well in these cases.
HoneyLab has conducted clinical trials which it says shows its medical-grade kanuka honey formulation can be a safe treatment for rosacea. The clinical trials were undertaken by the Medical Research Institute of New Zealand. The test results have been presented to peers at the American Academy of Dermatology meeting in San Francisco by Holt.
The trials showed that the combination of 90% medical-grade kanuka honey and 10% glycerine was an effective treatment for rosacea with about one in three people reporting a clinically significant improvement after eight weeks of their product. This was twice the outcome from those who underwent a control treatment. In 13% of those involved in the trial, the disease disappeared completely.
Rosacea Natural Remedy #6 Zinc
In his book Real Cause Real Cure, Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum recommends the use of zinc as a treatment for rosacea. In a study of 19 people with rosacea those who took 100 milligrams of zinc sulfate three times a day had a significant decrease in symptoms. The study was conducted by the outpatient Clinic of Dermatology and Venereology in Baghdad Teaching Hospital between October 2002 and August 2004.
The researchers concluded that zinc sulfate was found to be a good option in the treatment of rosacea, as it was safe, effective and lacking important side-effects.
