Shingles is a very painful disease, mainly because the herpes-like virus invades the nerves and triggers an inflammatory reaction in the dermal nerves. Acupuncture can be very good for improving pain and herpes, and in the acute phase, which is in the early stages of shingles, it is often treated with this method of fire and depression. In the acute phase the pain can be improved very quickly with fire needling, bloodletting and cupping. In the recovery phase, the entrapment points associated with the nerve segments damaged by herpes zoster, as well as the area of the skin lesions, are usually taken for treatment. In the sequela period, not only the local treatment but also the treatment of tonifying Qi and regulating the spirit should be carried out. In the course of treatment, local injection, bloodletting, fire needle, or even cupping under fire needle, bloodletting cupping and other comprehensive techniques can be applied to effectively treat herpes zoster.
