Natural Remedies for Shingles

Thursday April 19, 2007
An interesting study published in the April issue of the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society suggests that tai chi may help prevent shingles, a painful skin rash that can occur in people who have previously had chickenpox. Researchers at UCLA found that people practiced tai chi, an ancient Chinese martial art, had a better immune response against the virus that causes shingles.

Tai chi is just one of the alternative therapies that are used for shingles. Learn more about the condition, see photos of shingles, and find out about some of the more popular natural remedies for shingles. Read the article: Natural Remedies for Shingles.
