Herbal Remedies for Chicken Pox

Also called varicella, chicken pox is highly-contagious herpes-type viral infection. It commonly occurs during childhood, and one infection confers lifelong resistance to subsequent chicken pox infections.

An herbal program includes immune stimulants, heat- and toxin-clearing herbs that affect the surface of the body, cool-natured peripheral vasodilators called diaphoretics that encourage release of internal heat through the pores, and anti-viral herbs.
