Herpes Zoster, Shingles and How to "cool down" the Fire
There are quite a few steps you can take to heal yourself in this battle between your IMMUNE SYSTEM and the virus herpes zoster. Notice the emphasis on the IMMUNE SYSTEM and herpes zoster, one with BIG letters and the other with small letters; I truly believe in your capacity to truly fight this nasty bug, I believe you can take steps to enhance your body as a whole, integrated unit so that you can be better prepared to fight any illness, but here in particular the herpes virus that could live or lives in you.
So let me cut to the chase without due time. You first must know the viruses send dna or rna signals to your normal cells and therefore can use them to produce more viruses. So the necessity your body has to be in good shape becomes critical to the fight between both, your cells in your body versus the herpes virus in this case.
Chinese Medicine teaches that often the external signs of the invasion by the virus can be traced to the liver which is the element of wood and it has a need for growth, as in a tree. The liver also relates to the emotion of anger, so if you get angry often guess who gets upset; the liver.
My first suggestion for you is to improve your spiritual side as Christ can take the nightmares out of your hands and with prayers you can let go of your anxiety and worries. This is real and studies have shown that with prayer the Human Being can decrease stress and anxiety.
By beginning a healing session for yourself at home with a prayer of thanks I believe you are better prepared emotionally for the following therapies that enhance and strengthen your body. Remember, you must "cool down" your angry liver so that the virus can at least be dormant.
As you need to cool down the liver avoid eating spicy foods which bring heat to the body. Avoid alcohol, refined sugar, sweeteners, candy and anything that has processed sugar in it. Sugar decreases the immune system and the virus likes that. Instead eat raw organic sugar or honey. Good quality honey is expensive but it is definitely in the menu and can really bring many benefits for yourself. Also plenty of fruits that have a cooling property like melons, watermelon, pears and alike; cucumber is also on this list of cooling foods. Also avoid refined foods, saturated fats and minimize the intake of acidic fruits like lemon, lime and orange. Instead drink plenty of anti oxidant fruit juices as your body needs the cleaning properties of antioxidants.
I encourage you to enjoy the benefits of various healing teas as these are extremely beneficial. Choose organic teas that boost the immune system, calm the body and stomach, etc...
I believe this is one key ingredient that you must have at your home and make use of it. Medicinal plants are here for us and we must make use of them instead of chemically processed drugs.
As a Chinese formula, use Long Dan Xie Gan Wan to cool the liver down and fight the Zoster virus. Along with Chuan Xin Lian, which is an antiviral medicine, the benefits can be truly incredible.
Also make use of complex B vitamins along with B12 for pain issues. Acupuncture can greatly help you with pain too.
Zinc is a key mineral for the immune system and you should try it too. remember that with any medicine it is important for you to space their intake for about 4 hours so they don't overlap with each other.
Here is another therapy which is useful to rub it on the affected sites on the body; Australian Tea Tree Oil. Make sure to buy it organic and 100% made in Australia since it is there where the tree is found.
Rubbing the oil on the skin can bring so many benefits that the list is big if I were to list them here. Just know for now that the herpes virus was unable to grow in the oil in laboratories. Soak a piece of cotton in the oil and apply it accordingly.
I also need to make mention of colloidal Silver as it can greatly help if you use the correct dosage. If you decide to look for something else try L-Lysine. Also another key element in your fight against the herpes virus. Also look into Colon Cleanse as it can remove toxins that are accumulated in your body.
With the steps above I believe you can regain your health back completely! Please drop any notes you might feel are important and you want to make people aware of. After all this blog is yours.
Have a blessed day.
