Electric needle for post shingles pain

[Guest guest]

Surrounding the area with four to six (depending on the size) 2 cun needles.

Insert about 1.5 cun under the skin of affected area towards center (as said in

a popular 80's film...what ever you do dont cross the streams.). Light electric

stim is applied for one hour every other day or in cases of very severe pain

daily. 10 treatments = 1 course. I know the frequency is difficult for a

patient in the U.S. but this is what my teacher here suggested.

I would like to thank everyone for there posts on this topic. I was

actually looking for more herbal based ideas. This patient could not

tolerate any of the needle techniques mentioned, her condition is quite

severe. It is also POST herpetic neuralgia. The patient is extremely weak

and wiped out from the Western MEDS and the Shingles... If there are any

other ideas (herbal), I would appreciate the input Thanx,

Hi Jason,

Consider looking into Tamanu oil to be used topically. It has an

anti-viral and analgesic effect as well as promoting tissue re-

growth. I use it for patients for cold sores, shingles, as well as

non healing yin or yang type ulcers. There are diluted versions

available but the 100% Tamanu oil seems to work best and it's a bit

pricey ($20 for 1/2 ounce) but will last a long time. It's available

at health food stores and I'm sure other companies have good products

but I use New Chapter's product. More info in the links below.
