Chickenpox

Various natural remedies are available to tackle the symptoms of shingles. Try a neem leaf poultice, apple cider vinegar compress, or fuller’s earth poultice to deal with blisters. Calendula oil or honey can also help. Use a calamine lotion or baking soda solution to ease itching and soothe your skin. Or add chamomile or colloidal oats to your bathwater. Applying a licorice tea or capsaicin ointment may help with pain and inflammation.

Add a spoonful of baking soda, finely ground oats, dried chamomile flowers, or neem leaves to a lukewarm bath and soak to soothe itchy skin. Try dabbing a little calamine solution, diluted apple cider vinegar, or honey on affected parts with a clean cotton swab. Equally beneficial can be topical application of calendula oil and grindelia (gum weed) in liquid form.
