Beschreibung

Shingles, also called Herpes zoster, is a painful skin rash, and is caused by the varizella zoster virus that causes chickenpox. After you have chickenpox, the virus remains in your body and "sleeps" (is dormant) in your nerve roots.

Later in life, if your immune system is weak, this virus can reactivate and erupt as shingles - a red, blistering and itchy rash, usually accompanied by deep, sharp, throbbing, burning and penetrating pain.
After the virus becomes active again, it can only cause shingles, not chickenpox.

Shingles usually appears in a band, a strip, or a small area of the body. This band is called a dermatome, which is the area where one of the nerves from your spinal cord connects with the skin.
Shingles may also appear on a single side of the face, for example, in the area around the eye and the forehead. But shingles can strike any dermatome on the body. The shingles rash usually lasts up to 30 days.

In this naturopathic adviser, I will give you recommendations how to treat and prevent shingles naturally with Homeopathy, herbal tinctures and Schuessler salts (also named cell salts, tissue salts).
I will present you the most proven homeopathic remedies and Schuessler salts, including the appropriate potency and dosage.

Naturopathy works holistically. It does not treat single symptoms only. It treats the whole body, mind and soul. I wish you much success, joy in life and especially your health.

Shingles, also called Herpes Zoster, is a painful skin rash, and is caused by the varizella zoster virus that causes chickenpox. After you have chickenpox, the virus remains in your body and "sleeps" (is dormant) in your nerve roots.

Later in life, if your immune system is weak, this virus can reactivate and erupt as shingles - a red, blistering and itchy rash, usually accompanied by deep, sharp, throbbing, burning and penetrating pain. After the virus becomes active again, it can only cause shingles, not chickenpox.

Shingles usually appears in a band, a strip, or a small area of the body or face. This band is called a dermatome, which is the area where one of the nerves from your spinal cord connects with the skin. Shingles usually appears along a dermatome, each of which is located on one side of the body. Shingles may also appear on a single side of the face, for example, in the area around the eye and the forehead. But shingles can strike any dermatome on the body. The shingles rash usually lasts up to 30 days.

The transmission of shingles

The virus that causes shingles is the same virus that causes chickenpox. So, someone who has never had chickenpox could get chickenpox from a person with shingles if he or she comes into direct contact with the shingles rash when the blisters have not yet crusted. But anyone who has had chickenpox can get shingles.

Complications of shingles

1) Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN): This is long-term nerve pain that may develop after the Shingles rash heals, and it can last for years. The pain may be sharp, throbbing, burning, stabbing or shooting, and may hurt beyond the area of the original rash.

2) Disseminated zoster, which is a blistery rash that spreads over a large portion of the body and can affect the heart, liver, pancreas, lungs, joints, and intestinal tract. Infection may spread to nerves that control movement.

3) Bacterial infection of the blisters.

4) Muscle weakness in the area of the infected skin before, during or after the episode of shingles.

5) In severe cases of shingles, a person can end up with permanent scarring and skin discoloration.

6) Ophthalmic shingles is a term for shingles that occurs in or around the eye. People who have it can suffer from painful eye infections, and in some cases, immediate or delayed vision impairment. If you have shingles in or near your eye, you should see an eye doctor immediately.

7) Shingles infections inside or near the ear can cause a complication called Ramsay Hunt syndrome. This is a disorder in which facial nerves become paralyzed. Ramsay Hunt syndrome can cause hearing and balance problems, as well as weakness of the muscles on the affected side of the face. Other symptoms may include dizziness and ringing in the ears, loss of taste and dry mouth and eyes may also occur.

In the homeopathic and biochemical treatment (Schuessler salts) of shingles, detoxification therapies serve the activation of metabolism, the immune system and strengthening the body's nerves, circulation and connective tissue. It cleans, de-acidifies the body, is mineralizing and leads to a balanced life energy. The body will be purified and the dissolved metabolic waste, acids and toxins are excreted through the intestines, urinary tract, lungs and skin.

Shingles can be caused and reinforced by a mineral deficiency and an acidification of the body. Mineral deficiency and acidification in turn weaken the hormonal system, connective tissue and immune system. Also a defective metabolism favors shingles, acidification and chronic health problems and is often the result of a disturbance of mineral intake and mineral distribution.

Although we may receive enough minerals in our food, in the event of a metabolic disorder, not all of the minerals may reach the cells. The use of homeopathic remedies and Schuessler salts is a good way to compensate this mineral deficiency in a natural way and to treat shingles.

Stress, acidification of the body, as well as environmental toxins hinder the mineral transport through the cell membranes. This is where the effect of Homeopathy and Schuessler salts works. They activate the excretion of toxins and acids. The basal metabolic rate increases and the self-healing power of the body is activated.

First I like to explain you the therapies for the treatment and prevention of shingles offered in this guide:

Homeopathy was developed about 200 years ago by Samuel Hahnemann. The three basic principles of Homeopathy are the simile rule, homeopathic drug testing and detection of individual disease. The most important principle is the principle of Similarity (simile rule), which was formulated in 1796 by Hahnemann.
