After you have had chickenpox, the virus doesn’t leave your body; instead, it lies dormant in your nervous system and it can reactivate years later, leading to shingles. Shingles mostly occurs in adults over 50 years of age but it can happen in younger patients, even children.
The result is a painful rash that typically appears as a band of blisters on one side of the body, commonly around the torso or face. Shingles can significantly affect your quality of life, particularly for people with weakened immune systems.
Understanding the triggers – such as stress, trauma, and illness – can help you take proactive measures to reduce your risk. It is a relief to know that natural medicine can be profoundly effective in treating shingles.
