Natural Remedies for Shingles
Shingles (Herpes Zoster) is a painful, blistering rash caused by the
chickenpox (varicella) virus, which affects a limited area of skin and makes you feel tired, run down, and even depressed.
You can only get shingles if you have previously had
chickenpox. After having chickenpox the virus lies dormant in the nerves, and shingles occurs when it is revitalised in one particular nerve to the skin, thus explaining the way it affects a clearly demarcated band of skin only.
