Treating The Shingles Virus

The shingles virus is an infection of the nerve endings in the skin, it is a painful condition and is caused by the herpes “zoster virus”- the same virus that causes chicken pox.

Shingles attacks the nerve endings in the trunk area of the body and especially around the rib cage and waist. But the blisters that occur can appear on any part of the body, even on the head and the eyes.

The first symptom is a burning or tingling, pain and usually it is in the trunk area and around the waist. Headaches, fever, and fatigue along with the pain of clothing that touches the skin.

Shingles are usually treated with antiviral drugs, anti-inflammatory and herbs. Natural herbs can help boost the immune system and help with the healing and pain.

Lemon balm is an effective anti-viral herb. Its essential oil is helpful when it is applied to the skin, the oil will help guard against the blisters becoming infected and helps with the pain and itching.

For itching, try soaking a compress in chamomile, licorice, witch hazel, St Johns herbs. Any combination will work, let the boiling water cool then apply to the blistered areas.

The Benefits of Cayenne Pepper

Benefits of Cayenne Pepper            

The red pepper or cayenne is a small perennial shrub that is a native of South America, or any other warm of the world. This plant has white flowers, then green, and then 

eventually red or yellow pods.

Cayenne can be taken in capsules, extract form, or powder by just sprinkling it over 

your food, just go with a light hand unless you can take the heat.

The benefits of taking cayenne are very effective for treating a cold, poor circulation,

 or a weak digestion. In some of the tropical climates cayenne when taken actually

 cools the body by promoting sweating.

The health benefits are many, there are prescription creams and liniments that can

 treat be shingles, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and even sore muscles. The

 reason it is so effective is that there is an active ingredient called “capsaicin” which

 effectively blocks the transmission of the pain impulse in the body.

The burning sensation that you may feel after ingesting cayenne is normal and won’t

 hurt you, and in fact, cayenne can help heal an ulcer rather than aggravate it.
