Why do you need acupuncture for shingles?

  Herpes zoster is a viral infection with a clear cause, which can be treated with antiviral + nerve nutrition + repair of skin lesions. However, many people have neuralgia, and even herpes scars remain with significant or even severe pain after they heal, what should I do?  Solution: As soon as herpes is detected, acupuncture treatment is promptly given, and most of them can reduce or even eliminate the pain. It is too late to treat the residual neuralgia after the herpes has healed. To avoid post-herpetic neuralgia, be sure to get acupuncture.
