NYTimes says no natural remedies for rosacea

The New York Times article Natural Remedies for Rosacea? poses a question that many rosacea sufferers ask – are there any effective treatments for rosacea that don’t include the use of antibiotics or other prescriptions? This article also presents understandable definitions of different types of rosacea.

It is great to see articles on rosacea in a publication like the New York Times. However, it is discouraging to find an unsatisfying answer to such an important question. Surely there are good natural treatments out there somewhere???

This article says, "Self-care and dietary measures may also aid in the management of roscacea, but there are different forms of the disease, and each may require different treatments." According to what I've been reading by rosacea sufferers, diet may play a huge role in this skin condition. I am trying to find out, by reading books and changing my diet, and I'll let you know.
