10 Home Remedies For Shingles
Home Remedy #1: Hygiene
One of the best ways to help prevent your shingles from getting worse is to make sure that you keep the area clean. One of the easiest ways to do this is to take a cooling bath or a gentle shower. Water of a low temperature will help to reduce the discomfort associated with the lesions and will help to prevent the spread of the infection.
Washing with antiviral soap can also help to prevent the spread of the infection. Look for soaps made with tea tree oil or other antiviral essential oils. Try to avoid showering with hot water because this will aggravate the symptoms by enhancing blood flow to the area.
