I started researching causes and cures for this condition, knowing deep down that there HAD to be a solution. My intent with this article was to publish a summary of my findings, from my personal experience. Hopefully they will be useful to you, whatever your situation with flushing.

It's safe to say that there are a range of things responsible for the tendency to flush or blush in the face and neck. They include stress, diet and poor digestion,and constant unnecessary fears. I put stress first, because continual strain on the body and mind cause a myriad of disorders. I learned that stress can weaken the digestive tract, which in turn can make you more sensitive to foods and even cause allergies. A medical doctor, specializing in facial flushing, told me that blushing is actually likened to a signal flare, telling you something is wrong in your body. And in most cases, it means your digestive system is out of whack and you are under too much stress. Upon learning this, I immediately changed my diet cutting out alcohol, gluten and dairy. I also started going toa few more massages a month, as a stress reducer.

At this point though, I'd conditioned myself to expect a facial flushing episode while public speaking. What I found was that my constant yet unnecessary fears, which by now were apart of my normal thought process, were actually inhibiting me from staying calm. I learned about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and that it's commonly used to cure social anxiety and facial flushing. I also found many accounts of people who'd had success with hypnotherapy. Both methods' main goal is to re-train the mind to disassociate from triggers that seem threatening but truly aren't. For example, when I started speaking in meetings,I would instantly become afraid that what I was saying was stupid, boring ornot relevant and that everyone was judging me. It was horrible! Choosing to try CBT and Hypnotherapy was one of the best decisions I made, as my facial flushing is almost non-existent and I never even worry about it!

If you're experiencing facial flushing during public speaking, you might want to think about making healthier diet choices, lowering your stress level, andusing Hypnotherapy.
