Shingles

Shingles are line like rashes caused by a virus that develop around your body affecting the skin nerve endings generally underneath ribs, primarily to the navel though they can emerge anywhere. These are painful and can last for a number of weeks and the pain can persist for months or for years in atypical cases.

To know and to be sure about shingles you can look for minor fever, upset stomach, chills, ache and softness generally on lone part of ones body or face, irritation or itching on the skin followed by an burning red rash, profound burning and acute sporadic pain.

Shingles are caused by the same virus (herpes zoster), which causes chickenpox. People who already had chickenpox are resistant to the same virus for the second time if not their immune system are badly affected by a severe disease, tension or shock.

Aromatherapy for Shingles

Aromatherapy can give best results in this case because the skin happens to be very sensitive and no one would look forward for any side effects with other high frequency medicines at the first place.

The essential oils that can be used for cure are Chamomile, Tea Tree and Lavender. All you need to do is add 10 drops of essential oils while bathing and drench for at least fifteen minutes. Once the blisters are gone Eucalyptus and Bergamot cream can be used to relieve pain, as Eucalyptus happens to be a very efficient painkiller for severe pain.
