Shingles Natural Ayurvedic Treatment

Author : Gurnam Saini  

 

Shingles is an infective disorder  may caused due to a virus, varicella-zoster virus. This infection may causes a severe painful rash on the skin. Shingles can occur on the skin on any part of the body. However, it usually becomes evident as a single stripe of rash or blisters, which wraps around one side of the torso. Ayurveda may offers alternative Shingles natural treatment that could provide relief from the painful rash and can help in reducing the appearance of the blisters by regulating the body immunity [1]

 

Varicella-zoster virus is also known to cause another common infective disorder, chickenpox. Patients who had had chickenpox tend to have the virus lying dormant in the nerve tissues near the brain and spinal cord for several years. The virus can reactivate later and cause shingles. The use of home remedies for shingles can help to improve the immunity of a person and reduce the risk of reactivation of the virus. This can help the patients with a history of chickenpox to avoid Shingles infection in the future.

 

The symptoms of this infection affect a small part of one side of the body. The common signs and symptoms of this infection include burning pain, numbness and tingling, and an increased sensitivity to touch. There may be an intense red rash, which starts about 3 to 4 days after the pain. Patients may also develop blisters, which break open and leave crusts. Some other symptoms of shingles are itching, headache, fever, and sensitivity to light.

 

Shingles can affect the nerves and cause complications such as tingling and numbness of the affected parts. The neurological symptoms of this disease occur a few years after the patients have recovered from an episode of chickenpox. The virus enters the nervous system and lays inactive for several years. When the virus reactivates, it travels along the nerves to the dermal layers thus producing the skin symptoms of shingles.

 

However, not all patients who have had chickenpox develop shingles. A natural remedy for shingles using natural herbs can help in the destruction of the viruses lying dormant in the body thus preventing the development of shingles.

 

Shingles is more common in the patients having a low immunity. Hence, it is more common in the older patients and those suffering from HIV/AIDS or cancer. Patients undergoing treatments such as radiation and chemotherapy for cancer can develop this disease due to the lower resistance to infections. Immunosuppressive medications prescribed to prevent the rejection of a graft or transplanted organs can also increase the risk of shingles.

 

A patient suffering from shingles can spread the varicella-zoster virus to others who are not immune to chickenpox. The spread of infection may occur through direct contact of the skin with the open sores caused due to the shingles rash. However, once infected, the person develops chickenpox, and not shingles.

 

Though shingles is not a life-threatening condition, it can be highly painful. An early diagnosis of this condition and ayurvedic treatments using natural herbs, dietary changes, and panchakarma therapy can help to reduce the intensity and duration of its symptoms and prevent the complications.

 

The common complications of this infection include post-herpetic neuralgia, which occurs when the shingles pain persists long after the rash has cleared. Vision loss is also a common complication of Shingles.

Herbal Ayurveda Treatment For Shingles

 

Ayurveda recommends an herbal and natural management for shingles. These traditional herbs may produce a natural antiviral, antibacterial and toxins removal effect.

​

  • Neem: Neem possesses a great antiviral potential. It can destroy the viruses and help provide relief from the symptoms of Shingles. It also acts as a natural antibacterial agent and reduces the risk of superadded bacterial infections. The antioxidant effect of Neem can help protect the nerves and eyes against oxidative damage and prevent the complications of this disease.

Ayurveda Natural Managment for Shingles Virus

 

The best natural management for shingles may be achieved through the use of ayurvedic herbal treatments. The ayurvedic treatment includes the use of natural remedies, which work by improving the strength of the immune cells. They enhance the ability of the immune system to attack and destroy the viruses thus reducing the risk of developing chicken pox as well as shingles.

 

The ayurvedic doctor in Melbourne also advises the patients about the diet they should follow to keep the symptoms in control. The ayurvedic diet is aimed at improving the general health of the patients to increase the body’s resistance to shingles. The diet includes all the essential nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin B, vitamin A, and iron, which produce an antioxidant effect and protect the body against complications such as vision loss, neuralgias, and anemia, respectively.

 

Ayurvedic Medicine In Australia

 

Patients diagnosed with shingles may seek Ayurvedic medicine in Australia to manage their symptoms in a naturally safe and effective manner. The ayurvedic treatment is aimed not just at relieving the symptoms, but also preventing the complications of this infection. The ayurvedic doctors at the Melbourne wellness centre also advise the patients about the foods to eat and the foods to avoid. They advise the patients to eat the foods that can produce a natural antiviral and immune boosting effect. This can be of great benefit for the patients who have developed chickenpox in the past to avoid the reactivation of the virus in the future.

The naturopath in Melbourne may recommend panchakarma therapy. Panchakarma treatment can help to detoxify the body and thus, stimulate the elimination of harmful toxins from the blood thus restoring health. A regular treatment at the Melbourne natural medicine clinic can help the patients to prevent the progression of chickenpox and shingles and relieve the symptom of existing shingles infection.

  • 3+ years ago just before covid hit, I had sudden intolerance to a string of food predominantly gluten, cow's milk, egg and night shade vegetables. Energy was low and brain was foggy. I consulted and tried other treatments but minimal improvement. I was recommended to Drs Saini and Pooja by a friend who came out of her issues after ayurvedic treatments. Without hesitation, i consulted and started my ayurvedic journey 2+ years ago. It was the best decision I made. During those time, I had 2 sessions of panchakarma treatments. 2+ years later, I can now confidently say that I am able to incorporate gluten and cows milk products into my diet without any issue. My energy is back to normal and the other bonus for me is that unnecessary food cravings have diminished. I am very grateful and appreciated Drs Saini & Pooja's dedication and patient throughout my ayurvedic journey...

    Shitanshu Thakur

  • My four year old picked up a nasty viral cough every six-eight weeks lasting 2+ weeks each time. This has gone on FOR YEARS. Too many sleepless nights to count. She’s now on her third month of Ayurved treatment, and so far she hasn’t picked up so much as a runny nose. She’s still attending the same daycare, same level of exposure. Only now her immune system is strong enough to cope. We can’t thank you enough Dr. Gurnam.


    Ashe Davenport

  • Excellent services. Best Ayurvedic Doctors in Melbourne. So humble and calm. Listens to the clients very well and make a very detailed individualised plan.


    Rekha Gupta

  • I decided to take my 10 yr old daughter to Dr Saini after 9.5 yrs of struggling with eczema and food intolerances, and no solutions found but topical, long term use of cortisone creams. After only one month, we saw massive improvements in her skin, finally clearing up the majority of her eczema. This was done with herbal capsules and without needing to remove various foods from her diet. That improvement allowed us to tackle other health concerns like her consistent disturbed sleep. Now 4 months on, her skin is perfect, and her sleep is mostly uninterrupted. Any sporadic nighttime waking is for a very short period of time. And even better, now we can focus on her digestion which is my last concern for her. I can’t recommend Ayurvedic medicine enough to gently and naturally heal and balance out your body. l had done lots of reading on Ayurveda before we tried it, and all my expectations have been met and I’m sure will be exceeded in the near future. Thank you Dr Saini, for your kind and gentle consultations, and genuine interest in better health outcomes for your patients.

  • I’ve had sinus problems my whole life, sneezing multiple times a day, always had a blocked nose and snoring quite bad. After my treatment with Dr Saini, my breathing is so much better, my nose is now unblocked and snoring has reduced dramatically. My sneezing has also reduced a lot. I recommend his treatments if you have similar issues
