Herpes, shingles, chapping: what are we talking about?

Before presenting our effective homeopathic remedies against herpes labialis, shingles and chapped skin, let’s quickly recall what these ailments are.

Herpes

Herpes is a viral disease, caused by the herpes simplex virus, type 1 or 2. Type 1 refers to herpes that develops in the face, while type 2 is genital herpes. In this article, we will only deal with type 1 virus.

This type 1 virus is introduced into our body by a mucous membrane or lesion, infects the area, then lodges in a ganglion, without being noticed for several weeks, months, and sometimes even years!

Once infected, you can never get rid of the virus. Some factors, such as sun exposure, fever, fatigue or stress, can “wake up” the virus and cause skin lesions. The lesions caused by this type of herpes are mainly found around the mouth, but also around the nose, inside the mouth, on the cheeks or on the forehead.

They initially manifest themselves by inducing a feeling of heat and itching. A few hours or days later, transparent vesicles form, become opaque, empty of the liquid they contain, then a crust appears. A herpes outbreak can lasts 10 to 15 days. When it occurs on the lip, it is called a “cold sore”.

Zona

Zona, meanwhile, is a derivative of the famous chicken pox. Because of this skin problem, which affects almost everyone, there may be some VVZ virus in our body, which does not cause any symptoms for years.

However, with age or if the immune system is weakened, the virus can be reactivated and cause the appearance of shingles. It is then manifested by painful rashes, often on the face or torso.

Chapped skin

Finally, cracks and chapped skin: they are not virus-based symptoms but rather an unpleasant irritation that often occurs in cold and dry weather. They are actually small, sometimes deep fissures, that can be painful and difficult to heal. They usually appear on the lips or on the hands.
