50. My Shingles Story

Shingles is a viral infection that can effect anyone who has the varicella zoster lying dormant in their body. We used to think of it as being a disease of the elderly, but statistics show it is happening to more and more people under the age of 50. The two most common triggers are a deficient immune system and stress. Today I share with you, as an almost 37 year old, what shingles was like for me, and the lifestyle changes and herbs I have worked with to recover. Herbs mentioned include St. John’s wort, calendula, comfrey, milky oats, cleavers, skullcap, prickly ash, lemon balm, Helichrysum, clove, echinacea, lavender, Yarrow, aloe, vera, sweet fern, chamomile, ginger, hops, Lobelia, kava, motherwort, Manarda, self heal, Wild Cherry, Linden, Cayenne, myrrh, gold, thread, licorice, golden seal, plantain, and peppermint.
