Solution HZ: Body Herbal Supplement
WHY CHOOSE IT
Choose this formula if shingles has erupted on your body.
Shingles (herpes zoster) is a painful skin eruption caused by a virus. Certain herbs can provide helpful support for the skin during such acute outbreaks.
When we see a shingles outbreak on the body, in Chinese Medicine Dermatology we say this is due to Liver & Gallbladder Damp Heat with Fire Toxin. The herbs in Solution HZ: Body herbal supplement have energetic functions to Clear Heat, Dry Damp, and Resolve Fire Toxin.
If you have shingles on your face, scalp, or elsewhere on your head, choose Solution HZ: Head instead. Shingles near/in the eye or on the nose may be a medical emergency and you should seek medical care immediately.
