Herbs and Shingles
Shingles Tonic and Lotion
Specific herbs are used for the pain or shingles; the lotion is used to help kill the virus and improve the speed of healing broken skin.
Shingles is caused when your system is down somewhat, when you have had a lot of stress, or you have had another illness, or sleep issues. This allows the chickenpox virus that has been lying dorment to reawaken, and since your defences are weak, the virus spreads down the nervous system, and emerges anywhere on your skin, but mostly between the ribs on either or both sides of your body, but it can emerge near the eyes, and elsewhere. Antiviral herbs are essential at a high dose for the first 7-10 days. Shingles Tonic is specifically made for this purpose. Immediately apply the Shingles Lotion to the areas affected, where there is pain and where the rash breaks out.
Shingles is contagious
Shingles is a viral infection that causes a painful rash. Although shingles can occur anywhere on your body, it most often appears as a single stripe of blisters that wraps around either the left or the right side of your torso. Shingles is caused by the varicella-zoster virus — the same virus that causes chickenpox. This may last about five to seven days. The pain in the area of the rash can be intense as the nerve is irritated.
This infection is contagious and can spread the virus when blisters are forming and until all of the blisters have crusted over. The rash may heal in about two to four weeks, and some skin areas may scar.
Do not scratch the skin where the rash is located. This can spread the virus to other people if it on your fingers or under your nails. Keep your hands thoroughly clean.
While the virus is very active, causing blisters and weeping, use the Shingles Lotion as a compress for 20 minutes on these areas 3-6 times daily, until the blisters dry up and crust or scab forms. This is more effective than just applying cool tap water to the area, because the herbs are specifically antiviral.
We also recommend you take WorryLess Tonic for any stress you have; SleepMore Tonic if you can’t sleep. Also take 1tsp of the ABC Powder to quickly renourish your cells and organs and immune defences, so that you get over this very painful condition.
