During a case of shingles, the nervous system is under attack. Heal the damage by eating foods that are high in Vitamin B including wheat germ, brewer’s yeast, eggs and whole grain.

You may also eat greens, orange and yellow vegetables at every meal. These foods are packed with vitamin A and vitamin C, which will speed up your skin’s recovery from the inflammation and the blisters. Green leafy vegetables are also very good sources of calcium and magnesium, which will help to heal your nerve endings.

Shingles is a painful condition caused by herpes zoster, the same virus that causes chickenpox…once you have had a chicken pox [and most adults have had the disease at some point in their lives], the virus doesn’t leave your body.

Instead, it takes up residence in the nerves near the spine, where it lies dormant, usually for the rest of your life.

It is caused by herpes zoster virus and awakened immune system. The symptoms usually appear in the following order; sensitivity in one side of the chest, the back or the face, fever, chills or other flulike symptoms, extreme pain in the sensitive area, clear blisters that breakout in the affect area, blisters turn yellow and scab over then fall off.
