Shingles

  1. In answer to several queries, shingles are a very painful skin condition that is caused by a re-emergence of the chicken pox virus. It causes a rash that swells and reddens the skin, making it sensitive to any touch or pressure. It is not pleasant at all, but will usually subside with time & treatment.

  2. Yes, there are several natural treatments for shingles, here's one of the better ones: Drink 2-3 cups a day of Lemon Balm tea (fresh, not packaged) add, if possible, with 5 drops tincture of St. John's Wort (Hypericum Perforatum) & 10 drops tincture of Baikal skullcap (Scutellaria Baicalensis) to each cup.

    *** WARNING: Do not take the above if you are currently using MAO inhibitors of any sort ie- zoloft, paxil, etc...

    Topical treatment: Rather than mess about making a poultice, if you don't have a prescription ointment, I recommend a pure vitamin E oil, and a lidocane ointment for pain.

    Hope this helps your friend, let me know if you have any questions...
