Varicella zoster a virus is known to cause chicken pox. It is an extremely contagious disease and unless one has been infected with it before, there is a very high probability that he will be infected with it. It is imperative that people do not come into direct contact with the person suffering from it as it spreads from coughing and sneezing and usage of dirty handkerchiefs, which the patient has used.

The incubation period observed in most people is around 13 to 17 days. The most contagious period is the second to fifth days after the appearance of the rash. Usually it is safe for kids to go back to school after six days but a doctor’s advice is recommended.

The following remedies can be done at home to help ease the illness of the patient

Lukewarm water bath with margosa helps with the itching
Application of honey over the affected area will also aid in healing
A warm bath with burdock, ginger, goldenseal, or yellow dock will help soothe the affected areas.
Taking garlic in capsule form will also help in fighting infection
An oatmeal bath can also help in relieving itching
Application of sandalwood oil throughout the illness also helps in healing it
Vitamin E application also helps in healing
If the patient has fever then application of cayenne or lobelia extract in water will help relieve the fever.
