Herpes Simplex
This virus can be treated using Chinese herbal medicine. The idea would be to attack the virus and raise the immune system so that it doesn't flare up again. Combined with laser therapy, the virus can be controlled even to the point of minimal or non existent flare-ups or eruptions.

Herpes Zoster (shingles)
This is a skin condition that is accompanied by a great deal of pain. Treatment is based on elimination of the virus’s response on the skin such as blisters and pain management.  Shingles does respond quite well to the use a combination of therapies. I find that a combination of laser, acupuncture and microcurrent is very effective. If the blisters are bad then topical herbs and even internal herbs are added.

This condition is treated using Chinese herbal medicine.  The length of treatment using the herbs is usually lengthy, approximately 3 to 6 months for the full duration.  Treatment is combined with acupuncture using plum blossom needling for nerve stimulation therapy. This helps shift the nervous system out of a hive response and thus teach the immune system to calm down.

Vitiligo

The internal herbal medicine helps change the body’s response to vitiligo while the topical medicine helps to stimulate melanin production in the skin.
