Contracting an illness
is already a huge mess but there are certain problems and illnesses that
accompany with them certain other hidden problems that remain dormant for a
time being and with some external trigger rise to the surface to produce and
inflict its own harm. How
to get rid of dandruff or hair fall or skin
issues might seem not much of work but there are a couple of problems that do
not appear in the beginning and when they do they are already in quite a
stressful stage. When your kid (or often adults) contract chicken pox, there
are certain situations when the person is also attacked by a viral infection
that usually gets to the surface after the disappearance of chicken pox, or
even after receiving a vaccine. The target area for this virus to occupy space,
is the spinal area. Plus the symptoms and the infection also appear only on a
single side of the body instead of all over. The target areas arise from the
side of the spine, like the ribs and/or a shoulder. This particular viral
infection is called Shingles (Herpes Zoster). A quick scan of the article will
reveal to you what exactly this problem is all about and provide you with one
very effective remedy that helps soothe out not only the pain but also the
rashes caused by Shingles. One must take in to account that Shingles attack the
individual where it finds lack of immunity or when the body is already
pre-occupied under the reign of another heavier medication or treatment. The
pain caused by shingles arises from the point in nerves where the viral
infection has stretched out its camps and travels all the way through till the
nerve disconnects or merges.
The rashes under the
process of Shingles form an area of clustered blisters and there might be
immense itchiness and pain in those blisters. There might be a range of 10-15
days in which the blisters appear, take their peak, turn dry into a scab and
finally heal. But the remedy we are here to share not only soothes the pain but
tries to reduce this time period as much as possible.
Cayenne pepper and aloe vera gel mixture for shingles:
So the substances we will need to
prepare this home remedy to get rid of the pain caused by Shingles are Aloe
Vera gel and Cayenne pepper. Why do we choose these two ingredients over the
rest is because of a set of goodness they provide. Aloe Vera gel as most of the
people know is effective in smoothening of the skin. It is anti-inflammatory
which means that it works effectively in order to reduce inflammation in the
area affected by the Shingles. The itchiness and pain in the skin/area around
the blisters feel a sense of relief after the application of Aloe Vera. This
gel thus paired up with Cayenne pepper increases the effectiveness of the
remedy to ten-folds. Since, Cayenne pepper is composed of a natural compound
known as Capsaicin. This very compound is rich in substance P that is known to
target the pain affecting transmission
of the body. Hence, the pain that travels through the nerves during Shingles is
targeted with the help of Cayenne pepper.
The logic to pair the two
ingredients together is to cancel out each other’s negatives. During the
blistering phase, the skin gets exposed and hence application of Cayenne pepper
might increase the sensation of pain and burning. Hence, aloe vera gel acts as
a soothing agent to reduce inflammation and cancel the burning sensation.
How
to prepare the remedy:
·
1/8th
tablespoon of Cayenne pepper
·
1
tablespoon of Aloe Vera gel
·
Makes
the ingredients well till they are smooth
(Recipe can be doubled according
to the need)
The things to take care of before
proper application of this gel on to the skin is making sure it doesn’t burn
too much by applying it to a small, test area. If there’s more burning
sensation then add in some more aloe vera gel to reduce the issue.
You might need some strength to
endure the effects of Cayenne pepper but it actually becomes hard for some
people, especially kids to actually endure the extra (helpful) pain. For this
reason, Cayenne pepper can also be replaced by either Paprika or Turmeric
powder (in the same quantities). There might be better benefits under Cayenne
pepper but Turmeric would also serve the same purpose.
It is indeed a very tough
decision to endure the pain of an already existing problem and then to try and
look for a cure that also triggers the sensation of pain ad burning but for the
right reasons. Sometimes it is the will power that helps you pass that phase of
a disease to help you move towards recovery in a faster pace.
