The herpes on the skin, a small piece of red, but it was a knife-like, fire-like pain, and every second was carved into the bone marrow of the unbearable.
Pain is a typical sequelae of shingles. This pain lasts for a long time and does not go away for a long time.

Ms. Wang's father is like this, after the herpes zoster subsided, the skin did not have a red rash, there was no small blisters, I thought it was already good, but the original herpes zoster place was always faintly painful, the pain could not eat, drink, sleep; for more than a month, the father was tortured by pain listless, Ms. Wang looked anxious in the eyes, worried about what was wrong with her father, and came to the medical center for help.
Chinese medicine believes that herpes zoster is related to the fire of liver depression, because herpes zoster is most likely to grow in the rib area, and the ribs are on both sides of the human body, which is the part through which the liver passes, if the liver qi is depressed, it will gradually turn into fire, and these fire gases will burn the skin, which will cause severe pain. If you want to lower the fire, you must first thin the liver, the liver qi is stretched, it will not gather together, and the excess of the qi is the fire, so first disperse the qi.
So I gave him the classic recipe for the treatment of the sequelae of shingles: Chai Hu Loose Liver Loose Peach Four Things Soup.
Chai Hu, Citrus Aurantium, White Peony, Burning Licorice, Fragrant Herbs, Tangerine Peel, Sichuan Root, Peach Kernel, Safflower, Ripe Ground Yellow, Angelica, Frankincense, Myrrh, Sour Date Kernel, Mother of Pearl
Chai Hu can drain the liver and let the fire qi gathered together dissipate. Xiangfu is the general director of qi diseases, and it can also relieve liver and qi. Tangerine peel and citrus shell both have the effect of qi. These gas medicines are like channeling traffic on the road, when the cars are blocked together, everyone is very irritable, and once the traffic police are evacuated, the driver's mood will not be so manic. Since the liver is depressed and there is a fire, of course we still have to extinguish the fire, what is used to extinguish the fire?
Of course, it is water, white peony can nourish the yin, cooked can nourish the yin, angelica can replenish blood, blood belongs to the yin, so the medicine that belongs to the yin blood can play a role in extinguishing the fire. In addition to liver fire, congestion is also a cause of pain that cannot be ignored.
Because once the liver qi is depressed, it will lead to stagnation of qi and blood stasis, qi and blood stasis in the meridians, and if it is not clear, it is painful, so it is also necessary to add some drugs that activate blood and dissolve stasis. Peach kernels, safflower, Sichuan root, frankincense, myrrh, these are all products that activate blood and dissolve stasis, through the activation of blood stasis, so that the meridians are smooth, the meridians are unimpeded, and there will be no more stubborn pain.
Mother of pearl and sour jujube kernels, these two herbs are soothing and sleep-friendly. Why add these two herbs?
Because once the shingles occurs, severe pain will cause the patient to be unable to sleep, in the long run, people will really become listless, immunity will become weaker and weaker. We often say that adequate sleep is the first major tonic, if you do not sleep well, then the immunity will become weaker and weaker, and then the shingles will recur. So add mother-of-pearl and sour jujube kernels to it, one can nourish the blood and calm the spirit, and the other can calm the spirit.
After taking the medication for a period of time, Ms. Wang reported that her father's pain had disappeared and her body was recovering well!
