Chicken Pox – Ayurvedic Treatment is the Best
By Shankar
Chicken pox is a viral disease that is highly contagious. It is usually mistaken for measles which brings similar kind of rashes on the body. It is a common disease that affects mostly the children between three to eight years. However, it can affect grown-ups too.
The medical term for chicken pox is known as Varicella and it is affected by varucella-zoster virus. It can be spread to other persons through saliva and nasal mucus when the affected person coughs or sneezes without covering the nose or mouth.
In Ayurveda, chicken pox is termed as ‘Laghu Masurika’. The symptoms are mild headaches, low fever, tiredness, rashes like red spots on the face, chest, and at the upper back of the body. After a few days, these rashes disappear and the skin becomes clear showing the sign of recovering from this viral attack with the help of right medications. There can be nothing better than Ayurveda for health treatment.
Neem: This herb has been in use for treating several skin disorders from ancient times. Now when anybody is affected by chicken pox, the first thing that comes to the mind is the neem treatment. Neem is known for its great anti-viral properties that help to cure chicken pox without any side effects.
Neem leaves are placed around the bed of the affected person. Paste made with neem leaves can be applied on the chicken pox rashes. When the blisters have vanished, the affected person is given a neem bath. This is done by boiling neem leaves in water and bath the patient with this water when it is slightly warm. You can also use the neem leaves from this water to rub the body to clean the skin.
Aloe Vera: This herb is also one of the most effective in treating skin problems. After the chicken pox has been cured completely, you can apply the gel of Aloe Vera on the skin to get rid of the marks that are left behind by this disease. You can also mix the juice of Aloe Vera in a glass of water and drink it to make your skin look fresh and good.
Carrot: The initial days of the chicken pox, the only food that you can have is to take juices of fruits and vegetables. The soup of carrot and coriander is very useful in treating chicken pox.
Herbal tea: Prepare a good herbal tea with holy basil, chamomile, marigold, and lemon balm. You can also include lemon, honey, and a pinch of cinnamon powder if you want. This herbal tea should be drunk slowly – one sip at a time. This is very useful in treating chicken pox.
Honey: It is known as a good skin moisturizer. You can apply honey on your skin to cure chicken pox.
