Shingles is a herpes viral infection that causes painful blisters along nerve bundles. Schuessler salts do not have an antiviral effect, but they do relieve symptoms. If shingles symptoms occur on the face, seek medical attention immediately.
In other cases, a combination of 3-4 Schuessler salts can be used:
- Schuessler Salt No. 3 (Iron Phosphate) is an anti-inflammatory that activates the immune system. Do not take in the evening as it may cause insomnia.
- Schuessler’s salt No. 4 Potassium chloride – for yellow or watery blisters, can be used locally.
- Schuessler Salt No. 5 Potassium Phosphate – for neurological pain, high stress, and unpleasant odor from blisters. Relieves itching. Take in the morning.
- Schussler salt No. 6 Potassium sulfate – detoxifying effect.
- Schussler salt No. 7 Magnesium phosphate – relieves acute pain.
- Schuessler’s Salt No. 8 Sodium Chloride – if the contents of the vials are clear and watery, it is ideal to take it early in the morning, it can be used locally.
- Schuessler’s salt No. 9 Sodium phosphate – each time the healing process begins and yellow crusts form.
- Schuessler’s Salt No. 10 Sodium Sulfate – if the contents of the blisters are yellow and not watery, ideally take in the morning.
- Schussler Salt No. 11 Silicon – salt for skin cell regeneration when skin healing has already begun.
- Schussler Salt No. 21 Zinc Chloride – strengthens the immune system and, above all, stabilizes the nervous system, always taken in the morning.
A proven combination of salts as a primary treatment is salts No. 3, 5, and 6. Take 1 tablet of each salt at the onset of the disease, every 15-30 minutes.
