Rosacea Always Attacks In Spring? Avoid These Dietary Taboos And Help Put Out The Fire On Your Face

What's going on when you get angry as soon as you start to show off your face?

Friends who suffer from rosacea always feel particularly melancholy when spring comes. The congestion and small pimples distributed on the face appear red, as if they have an appointment, and they come to "report" on time.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine dermatology, this not only means that the skin barrier is damaged, but also is a result of the body's adaptation to the "hair growth" energy in spring, which causes wind, heat and dampness in the body to spread outward.

Spring belongs to wood in the five elements, corresponding to the human body liver .

The liver governs dispersion, and likes to feel relaxed and relaxed.

But modern people are under great pressure and like to stay up late, and their liver qi is prone to stagnation.

In spring, the Yang Qi is in a state of growth, and the stagnated liver Qi will "get angry". The fire has the characteristics of inflammation and rushes directly towards the face, so the face begins to flush and become hot.

There is more wind in spring, and the wind carries pollen and irritates the skin. When the internal fire hits the external wind, the "fire" on the face becomes even more intense.

These foods add fuel to the fire in your face

Many patients don't know that there are many "fire sources" hidden in their daily diet.

Liver qi is already strong in spring. These foods boost the yang qi in the body and make the stagnation of heat even more rampant.

The second category is those foods with high sugar and high fat characteristics, which are called foods with "moist heat" properties. For example, drinks such as milk tea, pastries such as cakes, grilled foods such as barbecues, and fried foods such as fried foods.

These items can easily cause the gastrointestinal tract to generate damp heat, which then fumigates upward to the face, and then evolves into papules and pustules.

The third category is seafood hair , especially shrimp , crab , Hairtail .

These foods are fishy and fuel fire, which can easily induce or aggravate facial inflammation.

Keep this in mind, every bite of food you take that will cause "heat" will eventually appear on your face.

How to eat in spring to "put out fire" and nourish your skin

Internal adjustment is fundamental.

I would like to recommend two simple and easy-to-make dietary remedies to everyone.

The first tea with the effect of soothing the liver and relieving depression is made as follows: select 5 roses, 3 grams of chrysanthemums, and 10 wolfberries, and then brew them with boiling water as a daily tea substitute.

Roses have the effect of soothing the liver and relieving depression, chrysanthemums can clear the liver and improve eyesight, and wolfberry can be used to nourish yin and blood. They are especially suitable for those who are impatient and have high work pressure.

The second type of porridge is called spleen-strengthening and dampness-removing porridge, which contains 30 grams of barley, 20 grams of adzuki beans, 15 grams of mung beans, and 50 grams of rice. They are all put together to make porridge for consumption.

Barley has the effect of removing dampness, adzuki beans also have the effect of removing dampness, and mung beans can clear away heat and detoxify. They can effectively relieve pimples and greasiness on the face.

However, it should be noted that those with weak spleen and stomach, and those prone to diarrhea, can halve the dosage of mung beans, or add two slices of ginger to neutralize the coldness.

Remember the "three more and three less" in terms of diet: more light food, more fruits and vegetables, more water, less spicy food, less greasy food, and less sweet food.

Besides keeping your mouth shut, these two things are equally important

Emotions and sleep The impact on rosacea is sometimes more direct than diet.

Have you ever noticed that your face turns red immediately when you are angry or nervous?

This is when anger rises with emotions.

In spring, you need to specifically regulate your mood and calm down. Don't get into trouble when things happen. Try taking a deep breath, or listen to some soothing music.

Sleep is even more important. Staying up late is the most harmful to Yin blood .

Once the Yin blood is deficient, the "fire" in the body will lose control. As a result, when you get up the next morning, your face will definitely appear red and hot.

Try to go to bed before 11 o'clock in the evening to follow the Yang Qi for hair growth.

One more thing: don’t wash your face with too hot water, and don’t exfoliate too frequently.

Facial skin is already quite fragile. Cleaning it in a gentle way and using hard sun protection, such as using hats, masks, and parasols, etc., are more effective and more effective than applying any kind of lady's cream.

Don’t pin all your hopes on skin care products

After all, rosacea It is the projection of internal imbalances in the body on the face.

The "fire" on your face has its roots in the liver, spleen, and stomach.

Skin care products can only soothe and moisturize the surface, but cannot cure the root cause.

Coinciding with spring, the season that means "innovating the old and bringing forth the new", we should use certain methods to diffuse the stagnant heat in the body, and then use corresponding methods to slowly restore the deficient yin blood.

Dietary taboos do not require you to play the role of an ascetic, but rather require you to temporarily control your mouth, so as to give your body a chance to repair itself.

If the symptoms recur repeatedly or become more and more severe, don’t force yourself to endure it. You should seek out a professional Chinese medicine dermatologist for syndrome differentiation and treatment. Only one person and one treatment plan can truly solve the problem.

May you gain a calm and peaceful face this spring.
