Treating rosacea

treating rosacea

Also known as rosacea, couperose is characterised by a reddening of the central part of the face. These vascular spider veins indicate an issue with microcirculation, generally caused by an excess of internal heat in the cheekbone area.
It can result in varicose veins in various facial regions, and its onset is often favoured by intense emotions, excessive alcohol consumption, coffee, tobacco, and spicy foods.
Excessive exposure to solar radiation, prolonged use of topical corticosteroids, and digestive system dysfunction are also aggravating factors.

Let us remember that the name of the condition only points to the visible symptom. Our primary goal must therefore be to identify the paths to follow to achieve the best results.

Several possible causes

  • Poor digestion prevents full absorption of ingested food and does not promote proper toxin elimination.
    This situation can exhaust the hepatic system and irritate the small intestine. Their functions become overactive, generating excess heat that manifests on the skin.
  • Couperose can sometimes be a sign of a cardiac or pulmonary dysfunction. Excessive physical activities or certain intense emotions are also probable causes.
  • Irritability disrupts the nervous system as well as the Wood element in traditional Chinese medicine. Over time, suppressed anger needs to find expression.

Creating a personalised protocol

As always in Dien Chan, we draw upon various sources of knowledge to determine care tailored to the individual.
The three causes listed above are not the only possibilities. However, they help us propose a more precise approach.

But above all, and depending on the general condition observed, we start the treatment with the intention of restoring overall balance.

First step: the general condition

Here are two examples that help us understand that a serious treatment must take into account our general condition or that of the person receiving the care.

The individual may be upset, sad, or, on the contrary, euphoric, etc.
In such situations, we immediately think of the nervous system.
The calming effect is quickly achieved using the Yin rake nº416, raking for 5 minutes over the entire surface of the scalp.

✚ We can then enhance this antistress treatment by tapping about 30 times on each of the following bqc·points: 124· 34· 103· on the forehead.

If the client suffers from digestive issues, we start by detecting the most sensitive areas indicated by the reflex diagram of internal organs on the face.
This same diagram outlines the path of the small intestine (Fire element), which surrounds the mouth.

Using yin multireflex tools like the Double mini yin roller nº308, roll simultaneously over the upper and lower lips. Gently place the instrument on the mouth and perform a subtle back-and-forth motion for 2 minutes.

✚ Complete this first step by stimulating the reflex zone of the liver and gallbladder with the same tool. On the right cheek, level with the nostril [in green], this yin massage for at least 2 minutes promotes toxin elimination and strengthens the hepatic system.

Many solutions addressing general condition are available in our iPad applications: Faceasit and the Chan❜beauté interactive magazine.

After preparing the ground by stimulating our natural self-regulation processes, we continue with the actual treatment.
Let us consider what Western medicine tells us: most skin conditions are related to nervous system disorders. Occasionally, certain pathologies —such as rosacea— have a bacteriological cause when the skin’s microbiota is weakened.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), on the other hand, focuses on the yang energy of the Lung meridian, which, when not circulating properly, causes stagnant heat.
This internal Fire, remaining blocked, disrupts the Metal element (large intestine and lungs) and manifests as redness on the face.

Here are two extremely complementary approaches that we will translate into therapeutic gestures.
We are talking about the microbiota (and thus the immune system), stress, Fire, Yang, and the manifestation of the disorder appears to be an internal heat trying to escape.

These indications guide us to choose a yin multireflex tool

To treat rosacea, we have so far achieved the best results using the Yin Double Mini Rollers nº308, working directly on the cheekbones.
Its ergonomic handle allows for light and pleasant back-and-forth movements. With this tool, we calm the congested internal Fire and unblock stagnant fluids that no longer effectively cool the body.

✔︎ For the nervous system, refer back to the paragraph in the first step.

The skin, like the lungs, is an integral part of the respiratory system.

Furthermore, we saw earlier that the Metal element (lungs and large intestine) is involved in TCM skin treatments.
We have already worked on the lung reflex zone (the cheeks) using the internal organ reflection chart with our Yin Double Mini Rollers nº308.

Let us continue the treatment by now stimulating the reflection of the large intestine

The same reflection chart shows that the large intestine follows the nasolabial groove down to the chin.
Using the large detector of the multireflex tool called the «Comet nº133», we perform a massage along this path, going from the edge of the nostril towards the corner of the mouth.

We should perform around fifty sweeps on the left side and then on the right side of the face.
To avoid damaging the skin, it is always best to follow the groove from top to bottom and carefully observe reactions such as grimaces, eye squinting, etc.
In doing so, we may encounter more sensitive points. Don’t hesitate to stimulate these a bit more, as the large detector of the Comet is perfectly suited to this type of facial region. It allows for a firm massage without causing pain.

By revitalising the large intestine, we have just invigorated the overall immune system and, consequently, the microbiota as well.

Prevention and maintenance

The ideal solution is to keep a yin tool in your bag so you can “roll” yourself occasionally during the day.

If the Yin Double Mini Rollers nº308 is not the most practical for your pocket, opt instead for the Beauty-brush multireflex nº252.
Its smooth brass cylinder quickly cools the treated areas. The marbling of its beautiful natural horn handle makes it a true health jewel that can be used in public or in the intimacy of your boudoir!
