Your day is going along fine as you’re having a good conversation with someone you like. Until it happens. Your temperature rises, blood gushes into your face and your cheeks, and suddenly the whole world knows your story because you are blushing uncontrollably. You feel embarrassed, wishing there was some way to stop excessive facial flushing.
Excessive blushing robs you of precious confidence, turning your face into a Las Vegas-style neon billboard. There are ways to stop blushing like operations and surgery, but they are expensive and dangerous. I’m happy to tell you there are natural ways to cure yourself of this embarrassing problem. In this article are a few tips to stop facial blushing. THE MOST COMMON DIAGNOSIS OF FLUSHING First, you need to diagnose yourself. When does your blushing occur? Does it happen in response to a heightened anxiety in social situations where you are afraid of blushing? If so, then you likely suffer from erythrophobia, which is a complicated way of saying you have a clinical fear of facial blushing. People so afflicted blush when they consciously fear having their facial blushing emerge. This is the most prevalent source of blushing. 1. BOTOX ® Botulinum Toxins Type A have shown significant improvement of facial blushing or flushing even when resistanty to multiple pulsed dye laser treatments. The posttreatment appearance was dramatic, and the patient was highly satisfied with the cosmetic outcome. Botulinum toxin A can be used in small quantities to decrease persistent facial flushing temporarily: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14692937 While Botulinum Toxins Type B seem not to give any improvement: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21848448 Read more: Botulinum Toxins: The most powerful neurotoxin ever discovered 2. EXERCISE REGULARLY Blushing, biologically, is really a simple matter of blood flow being poorly regulated in your body. Though erythrophobia is a psychological disorder, regular physical exercise can do a lot to alleviate the condition by regulating your blood flow appropriately, by reducing your overall stress level and by expending unused energy, all of which contribute to facial blushing. 3. AVOID CAFFEINE Even though erythrophobia is product of your anxieties, treating its physical manifestations is among the easiest and most natural methods of treatment. Caffeine effects how the heart delivers blood to the rest of the body, and it can cause many of the capillaries in your face to constrict and relax involuntarily, essentially drawing blood into your cheeks. If you have a problem with redness and excessive blushing, try to avoid caffeine and nicotine products as best as you can. 4. HYPNOSIS Trained professional can help you to relax and find a way for you to merge your mind and body, allowing you greater control of some of your anxieties and involuntary bodily processes. Hypnosis can stop blushing by teaching you how to train your mind and your body to work as an entwined pair through subconscious processes. Over time, and with effort, you will notice that the redness and blushing will reduce almost completely. 5. SURGERY Surgical intervention is probably the last option unless it is extremely needed. A procedure called Endoscopic Thoracic Sympahtectomy (ETS) involves manipulation of the sympathetic nerves to reduce factors that can trigger too much blushing reaction of the body. The nerves are either burned, removed or clamped to disrupt transmission of blushing reflexes. A condition that usually accompanies extreme blushing is hyperhydrosis or excessive sweating. This can also be controlled through the ETS surgical procedure. 6. MEDICATION Consult your doctor for medications options. Medications can be used to block factors that can initiate excessive blushing. Beta blockers and SSRIs are some of the drugs for this kind of problem. Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) are helpful for an extreme blusher caught in situations like public speaking or other humiliating circumstances that can also lead to depression. However, no drug should be taken without the order of a doctor. 7. DIET Eat a balanced diet. You may have read this countless of times but having a balanced diet is the ideal meal for any condition. Blushing reflexes can be controlled by eating salmon and drinking at least eight glasses of water per day. That kind of diet is good at maintaining hormonal balance. Along with eating a proper diet is staying fit through exercise. It is a healthy way to cope with stressful and embarrassing situations. 8. NLP Practice relaxation techniques. Relaxation techniques help in calming the nerves as well as reducing the underlying stressors that might result in blushing. Blushing reflexes can be controlled through NLP or neuro-linguistic programming. This type of treatment is believed to help train the brain and body to react in a way that does not trigger the blushing reflexes. Excessive flushing may also be controlled through other forms of recreation such as massage and acupuncture. 9. CREAM Apply cream on face. Cream for hemorrhoids is used to minimize redness due to uncontrollable blushing. Hemorrhoid is a condition where blood is pulled excessively in one area due to pressure. So that same cooling ointment used in hemorrhoid is a great match for redness caused by excessive blushing. It dampens the area and quickly reduces flushing.
