SHINGLES CARE
soothing blend {10ml}
Product Summary
Shingles is a viral infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox. Once you’ve had chickenpox, the virus lies dormant in nerve tissue near the spinal cord and brain. In some individuals, the virus can become reactivated, even years later, due to stress, injury, certain types of medications, or other factors, and then presents itself as a painful rash.*
According to the U.S. Centers For Disease Control, almost 1 out of every 3 people in the United States will develop shingles in their lifetime. There are an estimated 1 million cases of shingles each year in the U.S. Anyone who has recovered from chickenpox may develop shingles; even children can get shingles. However the risk of shingles increases as you get older, with about half of all cases occurring in men and women 60 years old or older.*
Shingles Care is a proprietary blend formulated with essential oils known to assist with the symptoms related to outbreaks of the shingles virus.*
