Your Questions About Shingles

Lizzie asks…

What is the best treatment for Shingles?

How did I get Shingles? or why?

admin answers:

As the previous poster had said no one knows why. But you can help ease the pain with fresh bee royal jelly it will sooth the nerve endings and help your nerves to relax. There are two companies that offer the freshest and purest on the market. They are beealive.com and beeroyalproducts.com. Most other companies only offer freeze dried or they have “watered down” the product. I prefer bee royal because bee alive pushes their religious beliefs on their customers.

Sandra asks…

Who can assist with Shingle treatment?

My dad had an amputation and is not very mobile, he sits quite a lot. Eats, sits, sleeps.
He has now developed a rash type of thing between his legs I’m not sure if its shingles, but he asked me to research shingles for him.
Does anyone know of or experienced anyone who might have or had a similar situation and what would the treatment be.

admin answers:

Shingles are actually irritation of the nerve endings – and along with a raised rash, cause severe “painful” itching. It is caused by the same virus that causes Chicken Pox. Between the legs is not a normal sight for shingles to break out.
Shingles need to be treated by a Dr. –
If we had a little more info about the rash – it would help – but you may be looking at heat or contact dermatitis.
With your father’s medial conditions – I’d consult his Dr.

Donald asks…

Does anyone know of any natural treatment for shingles?

Hi Gwen

Here are some ideas that will heal the issue.

Cause
Shingles can be due to chicken pox (in children), pleurisy, Bell`s palsy, herpes simplex, appendicitis, colic, gallstones, colitis, trigeminal neuralgia, or contact dermatitis. All of these conditions must be screened for and, if present, properly treated to provide lasting relief from shingles.

Caution: Shingles eruptions that last longer than two weeks can be a sign of underlying immune problems or cancer (particularly Hodgkin`s disease), and therefore require immediate medical attention.

Natural Cures

Aromatherapy: Massage the essential oils of lemon, geranium, bergamot, eucalyptus, tea tree, lavender, or chamomile along the affected area.

Diet: Eat an organic, whole foods diet that emphasizes fresh fruits and vegetables and minimizes carbohydrates (avoiding refined carbohydrates and sugars altogether).

Flower Essences: Crab Apple.

Herbs: Combine equal parts of oat straw, St. John`s wort, and skullcap tinctures and take one teaspoon of this mixture four times a day. Peppermint oil applied topically can also help reduce pain, unless the skin is excessively dry, in which case it is contraindicated.

Homeopathy: Useful homeopathic remedies include Arsen alb., Rhus tox., Sepia, Natrum mur., Hepar sulph., Caladium, and Acidum nit.

Hydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment. We suggest several at-home hydrotherapy treatments. Please seek the advice of your alternative health care practitioner before undergoing these procedures to make sure they are appropriate for you.
*Purified water is essential for any hydrotherapy treatment. Remedies for Treating Chlorinated Bath Water offers clear instructions and recommendations.

Juice Therapy: Drink carrot and celery juice with one tablespoon of parsley juice once or twice each day.

Nutritional Supplementation: At the first sign of outbreak, apply zinc oxide along the path of the affected nerve area two to three times daily. Other helpful nutrients include L-lysine, vitamin B-complex, vitamin B12, BHT, calcium, and high doses of vitamin C plus bioflavonoids. Topical application of vitamin E can also be helpful. Snake vaccine made from venom has also been known to take away the pain of shingles.

Topical Treatment: Apply apple cider vinegar to the affected area.

Alternative Professional Care
If your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for treating shingles: Acupuncture, Biofeedback Training, Detoxification Therapy, Energy Medicine (Light Beam Generator, Ondamed, TENS), Magnetic Field Therapy, Naturopathic Medicine, Neural Therapy, Orthomolecular Medicine (Vitamin B12 injections combined with adenosine monophosphate), Oxygen Therapy (Hydrogen Peroxide Therapy, Ozone), and Reflexology.

Best of health to you
