Natural Remedies for Shingles?
Does anyone know some natural or home remedies for shingles (something safe to put in the bath)? I know about oatmeal, but I need some more ides. Thanks!
admin answers:
Pain medicine — ibuprofen or advil. Cool compresses.
Since you don’t want to go antiviral route, you are just going to let the shingles run its course.

Nancy asks…
is there any natural remedies for breakout of shingles? to stop the burning and itching…thank you?
admin answers:
Shingles is the adult form for chickenpox. As an EMT my best advice for you could to use calimine lotion of bathe with tepid water. Shingles is contagious. A person can get chicken pox or shingles more then once in there life.
If it gets worse, see a doctor.

Advice for shingles relief?
My mom has had her shingles flare up again. It’s been really bad this time.
Has been bothering her for 4 weeks now.
2 questions:
1) Any natural remedies that help with shingles?
2) If shingles are a virus, wouldn’t going to a sauna help since high temps kill virus and reduce the viral load?
admin answers:
1. No, you need to go to the doctor and get a prescription for Valtrex or something similar.
2. No, because her internal body temperature will not rise high enough to kill the virus.
