Blushing Cure

For most people, blushing is normal.

Normally people react by blushing when they have an embarrassing moment or situation, or an event that occurs to make them embarrassed.

However, some people blush excessively, seemingly at anything - not just a quick blush from an embarrassing comment.

People who blush excessively can become self-conscious and as a result develop a phobia associated with it, making their blushing problem even worse.

They become so fixated in trying to control their blushing that they dread it. It's at this stage that blushing becomes a problem and even a fear or phobia.

Blushing is caused by dilation of the small blood vessels in your face. This results in an increased supply of blood to that area and you blush.

It is a perfectly normal reaction to something or a situation that embarrasses you.

However, blushing can get out of hand and can become excessive, no matter how old you are. You might find yourself avoiding places, people or going out in general because you get embarrassed.

Blushing Cures

With a little bit of research you can take certain measures to prevent excessive blushing:

  • Visit your doctor and through a medical checkup can rule out other conditions that might be causing your blushing problem.

  • Limit your alcohol as it can have a natural blushing effect on many people.

  • Avoid eating spicy foods. Spicy foods are another natural blushing effect flow to your face.

  • Maintain a stable temperature. Dress warm in the winter, and stay cool in the summer.

  • Keep your temper to a limit. Emotional highs and lows have an effect on your complexion!


Another way to cure your blushing is to listen to a stop blushing hypnosis MP3. This will help to change the way your body thinks and you'll soon find that you're blushing less often.

How To Stop Blushing 

One basic way to stop blushing is to try and stop fighting it so much and try some home remedies for blushing. There are steps to help you from keeping excessive blushing and they include:

  • Try and find out why you blush and how often.

  • Find the reason behind your blushing problem.

  • Keep a journal or notebook. Write down the reasons and why you blush when you do for several weeks. This way you will have enough information to find patterns of why you blush.

  • Do not just avoid the person, people or situation that makes you blush. Relax and put a smile on your face.

  • Snap out of it! It can and is cute and charming but it can become a problem and more noticeable then you think.

  • Hide your blushing. If you have longhair pull it around your face. Rest your head on your shoulders if you are sitting somewhere. Try hiding your blushing with a little effort. People notice!

  • Use a hypnosis MP3 to help stop blushing.

Blushing Treatment 

There are several treatments available depending upon the reasons that you blush so often.

If you are looking for a way to stop excessive blushing altogether, you need to understand what causes it and what will work for you.

Some home blushing treatments include the following.

  • Hypnosis is a powerful tool in stopping excessive blushing. The deep relaxation lowers anxiety and calms your nerves.

  • Breathing deeply can help prevent or stop blushing.

  • Relax if possible. It not always easy to do this (practice helps) but it will help to stop blushing.

  • Meditate and forget everything for a few minutes a day. Meditation will slow your breathing down and relax your muscles in your body. It will work wonders!

  • Practice stopping blushing if you can make yourself blush.

  • Have a friend try and make you blush so you can learn to deal with your excessive blushing.


People who have excessive blushing and are embarrassed frequently find it can make you want to avoid going to work, or school, or anywhere of importance where it might create a negative impact on your quality of life.

People with this condition are often desperate to find a cure or treatment for their problem but it is important to keep in mind that your situation is not a skin condition and you can control your blushing - even if that seems totally impossible right now.

Whilst there is a surgical treatment (called endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy or ETS), this involves cutting certain nerves that control blood flow to the face. So I really don't recommend that!

Far better to give hypnosis for blushing a trial - this has a very high success rate and the MP3 hypnosis track can be played to yourself. No-one else needs to know you are treating yourself with hypnosis.

More About Facial Blushing 

To blush is to display redness in one's face; the term is usually used when the redness is a result of an emotional response, which could reflect embarrassment, shame, or modesty. Blushing can also be associated with being in love. Blushing is generally distinguished, despite a close physiological relation, from flushing, which is more intensive and extends over more of the body, and seldom has a mental source.

If redness persists for abnormal amounts of time after blushing, then it may be considered an early sign of rosacea.

A medical condition known as Idiopathic craniofacial erythema exists, in which the sufferer blushes strongly with little or no provocation. This is related to social phobia.

Erythrophobia, from , red, and , fear, literally "fear of redness", refers to pathological blushing.
