INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The largest study of herbal remedies showed that Indian chrysanthemum cream, also called chrysanthemum indicum, was effective in treating moderate rosacea. While not entirely an herbal treatment, another study showed that milk thistle mixed with a type of sulfur (methylsulfonylmethane) was also an effective rosacea remedy. Niacinamide, a type of vitamin B, helps the skin heal itself. It's been shown to reduce the redness and inflammation associated with rosacea outbreaks. This study was much smaller, but it did demonstrate that green tea cream could also alleviate rosacea symptoms. However, it's best to wait for a larger study to confirm these findings. Licorice root is currently the only oral herbal treatment that's shown success for treating rosacea systemically. Follow all of the dosing instructions to avoid an upset stomach.

SUMMARY: Apply a cream derived from Indian chrysanthemum to your face. Use milk thistle combined with sulfur extract. Reduce inflammation with a topical niacinamide cream. Try a cream derived from green tea. Swallow licorice root extract for a systemic rosacea treatment.
