Saffron is generally not used to give shingles pain relief. Herpes zoster is an infectious skin disease caused by the varicella zoster virus. Because the virus is neurophilic, the pain caused by herpes zoster is neuropathic. Saffron, as a kind of herb that activates blood circulation and removes blood stasis (promotes blood circulation and eliminates blood stasis in the body), does not have the efficacy of relieving neuralgia, so the effect of drinking saffron for shingles is limited. In addition to nerve pain, herpes zoster is also characterized by clusters of blisters in the affected area in a band-like distribution, and touching the blisters will also cause significant pain. At present, the main treatment for shingles can be internal and apply drugs, such as applying acyclovir cream, oral vasiclovir hydrochloride extended-release tablets, etc., note that the use of drugs should be in accordance with the doctor’s instructions. In addition, shingles is also related to the decline of resistance, so daily life should pay attention to rest, avoid staying up late, enhance physical exercise, balanced nutrition.
