IMPORTANT TO KNOW

All our blends come in a 30ml glass bottle, with a glass pipette and a rubber bulb on top. Don’t forget to buy empty veggie capsules when purchasing an ingestible blend. (Our veggie capsules are now available in 90’s and 150’s).

Never pre-fill capsules for future use, as this will compromise the veggie capsule and melt. Instead, always fill the capsules just before drinking them. (But if there is no other option, only prepare up to 3 days’ supply. You MUST then keep them upright in the refrigerator in a marked container; to know which blend it is filled with.)

Method – open the veggie capsule, then open your blend, squeeze, and release the rubber bulb to draw the oil blend up into the glass pipette dropper. Gently squeeze the rubber bulb to fill the larger part of the open capsule. Close the capsule before drinking it. Dosage is always a full capsule of a specific blend (between 15 to 18 drops) unless otherwise indicated.

If you need to take more than one oil blend per day, spread them throughout the day to assist the body with proper absorption. Never drink more than two capsules of different blends at a time.

It is always good to have a very small snack/fruit before drinking capsules.

SHINGLES BLEND 30ML

Hadassah Healing Oils Shingles Blend is a specialised topical botanical formulation developed to support skin comfort and gentle care during the recovery period associated with shingles.

The blend combines nine carefully selected ingredients: Tea Tree, Frankincense, Rose Geranium, Myrrh, Lavender, Bergamot, Chamomile, Cedarwood and Olive Oil.

These botanicals contain naturally occurring compounds that have attracted scientific interest for their effects on skin condition, inflammation-related pathways, sensory responses and the skin’s protective barrier.

Shingles can produce significant skin sensitivity, burning sensations, itching and nerve-related pain. Even after the visible rash improves, some people continue to experience discomfort in the affected area.

This formulation brings together aromatic botanicals traditionally associated with skin care and relaxation, supported by Olive Oil as a nourishing massage and conditioning base.

The blend is intended for external application to intact skin, particularly during the recovery period when the rash has healed and the skin remains sensitive or uncomfortable.

UNDERSTANDING SHINGLES

WHAT IS SHINGLES?

Shingles, medically known as herpes zoster, is a viral condition caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus.

This is the same virus responsible for chickenpox.

After a person recovers from chickenpox, the virus can remain dormant within sensory nerve ganglia for many years.

Under certain circumstances, it may reactivate and travel along a sensory nerve towards the skin.

This produces the characteristic painful rash associated with shingles.

WHY DOES THE VIRUS REACTIVATE?

The immune system normally helps keep the varicella-zoster virus dormant.

Reactivation becomes more likely when the body’s ability to control the virus decreases.

Important risk factors include:

• Increasing age
• A weakened immune system
• Certain cancers or immune disorders
• Medicines that suppress immune function
• Previous exposure to the chickenpox virus

Stress and illness may coincide with shingles episodes, but they should not be assumed to be the sole underlying cause.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A SHINGLES OUTBREAK?

The virus reactivates within sensory nerve tissue, producing inflammation and irritation along the affected nerve pathway.

As the virus travels towards the skin, a painful rash may develop.

The rash typically occurs on one side of the body, following the distribution of a sensory nerve.

COMMON SYMPTOMS

Shingles may cause:

• Burning or tingling sensations
• Localised skin sensitivity
• Sharp or shooting pain
• Itching
• Redness
• Clusters of fluid-filled blisters
• Pain when clothing touches the skin
• Persistent sensitivity after the rash has healed

Some people experience pain before the visible rash appears.

WHY SHINGLES CAN BE SO PAINFUL

Shingles is more than a surface-level skin condition.

The virus affects sensory nerves, which explains why the pain can be unusually intense.

1. INFLAMMATION OF SENSORY NERVES

Viral reactivation can cause inflammation within the affected nerve.

Inflammatory mediators may increase the sensitivity of pain-signalling pathways.

2. ALTERED NERVE SIGNALLING

Affected sensory nerves may transmit abnormal signals.

This can produce burning, tingling, electric-shock-like sensations or discomfort from ordinary touch.

3. SKIN INFLAMMATION

The skin rash involves local inflammation and blister formation.

The affected skin may become highly sensitive to pressure, friction and temperature changes.

4. POSTHERPETIC NEURALGIA

Some people develop persistent nerve pain after the shingles rash has healed.

This condition is called postherpetic neuralgia.

It occurs when the affected nervous system continues to generate or amplify pain signals.

Symptoms may include burning pain, stabbing sensations and sensitivity to light touch.

Postherpetic neuralgia can last for months or longer and may require specific medical treatment.

BOTANICAL BENEFITS AND APPLICATIONS

1. COMFORT FOR SENSITIVE SKIN

The blend contains ingredients traditionally used in skin-care preparations, including Lavender, Chamomile, Frankincense and Olive Oil.

These botanicals are relevant to gentle skin conditioning and comfort-oriented body care.

2. SKIN CONDITIONING DURING RECOVERY

Olive Oil provides emollient fatty acids that help soften dry skin.

The formulation may be considered for intact skin after the active blistering stage has resolved, provided the finished product is appropriately diluted and well tolerated.

3. RELAXATION DURING RECOVERY

Lavender, Chamomile and Frankincense contribute aromatic compounds commonly associated with relaxation-oriented preparations.

This may complement a restful recovery routine.

4. BOTANICAL INFLAMMATION RESEARCH

Several ingredients contain compounds investigated for antioxidant and inflammation-related effects in laboratory studies.

These findings help explain their interest in botanical skin-care research.

5. NERVE-RELATED RESEARCH

Certain constituents, particularly linalool and beta-caryophyllene, have been investigated for effects on sensory or inflammatory pathways in experimental models.

These findings do not establish that topical application of the finished blend treats shingles nerve damage or postherpetic neuralgia.

SHINGLES RECOVERY AND SKIN CARE

DURING AN ACTIVE OUTBREAK

Shingles should be medically assessed promptly.

Prescription antiviral medicines such as aciclovir, valaciclovir or famciclovir can reduce viral replication and are most effective when started early, ideally within 72 hours of rash onset.

During the blistering stage, the skin should be kept clean and protected from irritation.

Avoid applying this essential-oil blend to active blisters, open lesions or broken skin.

AFTER THE BLISTERS HAVE HEALED

Once the skin is intact, some people continue to experience dryness, sensitivity or discomfort.

Gentle, fragrance-free skin care is generally the preferred first option for highly sensitive skin.

An aromatic botanical preparation may not be suitable for everyone, especially where nerve-related touch sensitivity persists.

POSTHERPETIC NEURALGIA

Persistent nerve pain after shingles may require specific treatment.

Medical options can include certain neuropathic-pain medicines and appropriately selected topical treatments.

Essential oils have not been demonstrated to reverse the nerve injury responsible for postherpetic neuralgia.

HOW TO USE

External topical use only.

Do not apply this blend to active shingles blisters, open lesions or broken skin.

Do not massage forcefully over areas affected by nerve sensitivity.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

• For external use only.
