Many people develop a condition called "post herpetic neuralgia" in which the sores have healed but the pain persists. Although 50% of the sufferers are over 50, it can strike at any age. The severe sores and the pain lead patients to all sorts of remedies — most are too little too late. For years, shingles, has defied treatment. Traditionally, the herbs in Shingles Rescue have been used for their anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, skin repairing and pain relieving qualities.
