Emu oil has proven to be one of natures substances that offer many ingredients helpful in the management of rosacea. Skin irritation is greatly reduced when using products that contain at least 25% emu oil. Some herbs such as neem, cats claw, tea tree, ginger, and lavender have also been reported to give ease to the suffering of rosacea. Washing the affected areas with emu oil soap not only cleans the skin, but leaves a residue of emu oil which aids in reducing the inflammation associated with rosacea.

It is recommended to combine any topical application with reasonable diet, avoiding foods and drinks that trigger facial redness and worsen the condition, such as hot drinks and beverages, spicy foods, and alcohol.

Since certain foods are thought to trigger the release of chemicals that dilate blood vessels and cause flushing, some people avoid these foods in an attempt to reduce symptoms.

One method of identifying food intolerances is through an elimination and challenge diet, which involves temporarily avoiding certain foods from the diet (such as milk or gluten-containing foods) for one to two weeks then systematically introducing them into the diet to isolate the foods that cause symptoms. Supervision by a health practitioner is recommended.
