Can Splashing Listerine on Shingles Ease Lingering Pain?
Putting original amber Listerine on shingles has helped readers with the pain of this excruciating rash. We don't know why this remedy works.
Have you heard about a home remedy that seems weird? Many people are justifiably skeptical when a treatment arises from outside the mainstream. We usually like to share such an approach if it 1) might help, 2) won’t hurt and 3) doesn’t cost too much.
Not every remedy meets all three criteria, but using Listerine on shingles does.
Putting Original Listerine on Shingles for Pain Relief:
Q. About 30 years ago, I got shingles from my hip to my knee. A doctor told me to get a bottle of original Listerine and rub it on often. It took about a week or two, but I didn’t develop blisters. The Listerine got rid of that terrible pain.
A. Shingles is a painful rash that may occur many years after a person suffers chickenpox. This viral infection is caused by a herpes virus called varicella zoster (Viruses, Nov. 2, 2018). Antiviral drugs such as acyclovir (Sitavig, Zovirax), famciclovir (Famvir) or valacyclovir (Valtrex) may speed healing if taken early enough.
Sixteen years ago, another reader shared a similar story:
“What is the miracle of Listerine? Twenty years ago I got shingles. I had a blistery rash and it really hurt.
“My doctor told me to keep rubbing Listerine on it. The itching stopped, the rash disappeared and the pain went away for good.”
We have no idea why rubbing Listerine on shingles might be helpful against the pain. We could find no research in the medical literature, though some doctors seem to know about this home remedy. Perhaps–and this is entirely speculation–the essential oils in original Listerine have some effect on pain sensing.
If you find these approaches intriguing, you may be interested in the book, The People’s Pharmacy Quick & Handy Home Remedies.

What you need to Know - The Truth About Drugs
There is a lot of talk about drugs in the world—on the streets, at school, on the Internet and TV. Some of it is true, some not.
Much of what you hear about drugs actually comes from those selling them. Reformed drug dealers have confessed they would have said anything to get others to buy drugs.
Don’t be fooled. You need facts to avoid becoming hooked on drugs and to help your friends stay off them.
Sooner or later—if it hasn’t already happened—you, or someone close to you, will be offered drugs. The decision of whether or not to use them could drastically affect your life. Any addict will tell you they never expected a drug to take control of their life or maybe that they started with “just pot” and that it was “just something to do” with their friends. They thought they could handle it and when they found out they couldn’t, it was too late.
You have a right to know the FACTS about drugs—not opinions, hype or scare tactics. So how do you tell fact from fiction? That is why we have created this website—for you.

Nerve Damage from Chemotherapy
Individuals at risk for acquiring neuropathy are those associated with chemotherapy. There are also other risk factors.
Why? Because these conditions all result in the nerve damage, specifically the myelin sheath surrounding the nerve starts to deteriorate.
Symptoms include:
Numbness, tingling (feeling of pins and needles of the hands and or feet.
Burning of hands and/or feet
Numbness around the mouth
Constipation
Loss of sensation or touch
Loss of positional sense (knowing where a body part is without looking)
Weakness and leg cramping or any pain in hands and/or feet.
Difficulty picking things up or buttoning clothes.
Chemotherapy and other chemicals and drugs can cause the nerve’s myelin sheath to deteriorate.
Knowing what happens will help. I know that your medical doctor will give you a booklet "Living with Neuropathy", but there must be something you can do.
