Chamomile: For itchy inflamed skin, steep one chamomile teabag in one cup of boiling water and leave until it is cool enough to put in the fridge. Throughout the day, dip a cotton wool pad into the tea and dab on face. For instant relief, run some cold water over teabag and place teabag on skin. I find this works wonders and the relief is instant. Make sure the teabag is cool to cold.
Also sipping chamomile tea throughout the day helps you remain calm and relaxed and is also used as a treatment for indigestion and inflammation. I personally don’t like the taste of it and only drink it when I do have a flare up, maybe I should try drinking it a bit more.
Natural skin care products such as cleansers and moisturisers containing chamomile have also been beneficial to reducing the severity of some rosacea sufferers.
Chamomile essential oil is also great if you want to add to your existing cream or lotion. I have just begun using this product adding a few drops to my bottle of jojoba oil. It really helps with the tingling feeling. A great soothing facial mask using all natural ingredients is as follows (from 1001 Natural Remedies by Laurel Vukovic). This is fabulous for any inflamed skin:
2 teaspoons rolled oats
2 teaspoons plain yogurt
½ teaspoon honey
1 drops chamomile
Grind the oats to a fine powder in a clean blender or coffee grinder. Combine all ingredients and mix well. Smooth the mask on to clean skin and then remove after 15 minutes with a warm wet flannel. I tried this and it works a treat. Oatmeal is another great natural ingredient which helps the itchiness and inflammation associated with rosacea.
Chamomile is a member of the daisy family, and anyone who is allergic to other members of the daisy family, including ragweed, should not be using this herb.
