There are lots of remedies for shingles. Ideally, you want to get proper medication for the shingles but there are things you can use for an effective home remedy. There are as follows:

  • Apply Cider.


    Apply this to the affected area of the skin twice daily
  • Topical Products. Apply the product into the affected area each day thoroughly.
  • Vitamin Supplements.


    Take ony a daily basis to help clear up the shingles.

 Although these may not cure you of shingles completely, they have all been proven to work and to lessen to problem. In some cases they have also been shown to get rid of the shingles entirely. It really depends on how early you act.

I hope this helps.

Shingles is a herpes zoster viral inflammation of nerves.  So, therapies to reduce overall inflammation may be helpful.  However, I've found homeopathic medicines to be an effective treatment for the acute symptoms of shingles --depending upon the location, intensity and other symptoms surrounding the onset.  There are over sixty potential homeopathic remedies for this condition.  Homeopathic Hypericum is one of the most common nerve pain remedies, but other homeopathic medicines such as Aconite, Belladonna and Phosphorus are also good possibilities..  You may choose to consult a homeopathic health care practitioner to select the most appropriate remedy for you.

The onset of the Shingles "attack" may be triggered by stress or a weakened immune system.  So it is important to manage these aspects of your life to maintain balance and minimize the potential for future attacks.
