Shingles Natural Ayurvedic Treatment

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.
