Herpes zoster is what we call snake wrap in Jiaxing. It is most common on the chest, abdomen or waist, and is triggered by the resurgence of the varicella-zoster virus replicating in the latent ganglia due to decreased resistance, etc. It is therefore more common in middle-aged and elderly people. Since the virus destroys nerve fibers, pain is the main symptom and recovery is slow. In addition to symptomatic treatment in the hospital, there are some foods that contain pain-relieving substances and can be consumed in quantity. Such as strawberries, blackberries, cherries, apples, oranges, bananas and so on. Bananas also have pantothenic acid, which is the body’s “happy hormone” and can reduce psychological stress, relieve tension, depression and other emotions, eat bananas before bedtime has a sedative effect, but in moderation, diabetics should eat less. During the treatment period, patients are forbidden to eat spicy and warm food, such as tobacco and alcohol, ginger, chili, mutton, beef, etc.. Many people think that eating beef and mutton can enhance resistance and speed up recovery after having shingles, but in fact it is the opposite. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, herpes zoster is caused by dampness, heat, fire and poison in the skin, so try to avoid eating ginger, chili, beef and mutton, fried and other warm foods, and quit smoking and drinking. In addition, fatty meat, milk, sweet food should also be eaten less, because it has a lot of nourishing, fatty and sweet Yongsei nature, easy to make the damp heat and poisonous evil is not contained within the disease, resulting in the disease is not over.
