Description

Herpes Zoster, commonly known as Shingles, is an acute viral infection characterized by severe pain and blister-like eruptions in areas of local nerve distribution. Satisfactory therapeutic effects may be achieved when the treatment relies on accurate pattern differentiation. Chinese medicine shows satisfying results in treating this condition by eliminating toxic pathogens that obstruct the channels and the collaterals. Although many fungal skin infections can be very tenacious, most conditions respond well to the proper application of Chinese medicinals. The combination of internal and external methods is an especially potent approach to treatting herpes zoster.
