Shingles (herpes zoster) & PEMF therapy
A Natural Path to Relief
PEMF therapy supports your body’s natural healing systems—gently and without side effects. Here’s what it brings to the table:
🔋 Fast Pain Relief
✔️ Calms irritated nerves and reduces nerve pain
✔️ Eases burning, tingling, and stabbing sensations
✔️ Helps with the lingering pain of postherpetic neuralgia
💨 Reduces Inflammation
✔️ Lowers inflammation in skin and nerves
✔️ Improves blood flow to the affected area
✔️ Speeds up toxin removal and tissue repair
⚡ Boosts Healing
✔️ Promotes regeneration of damaged tissue
✔️ Enhances circulation for faster recovery
✔️ Supports the immune system’s antiviral response
🧠 May Prevent Long-Term Nerve Pain
✔️ Early use may reduce risk of chronic nerve damage
✔️ Helps soothe the nervous system post-infection
✔️ Safe for ongoing use during healing and beyond
What is shingles (herpes zoster)?
A viral disease caused by varicella–zoster virus, i.e., the same pathogen that causes chickenpox. The virus usually spreads along one of the branches of the trigeminal nerve
or along the nerves that come out of the spine, triggering inflammation thereof that commonly manifests itself on the skin in the form of painful blisters or red rashes. Patients frequently continue to be affected by mild to debilitating neuralgia (a chronic pain disorder affecting the nerves) even after they have undergone treatment.
How can PEMF therapy help?
Application of PEMF therapy is highly recommended as the entire nervous system is very sensitive to a magnetic field. Pain subsides quickly; anti-inflammatory effects of magnetic therapy translate into nerve inflammation resolving sooner. Treatment also stimulates the body’s immune system, helping the body to recover from the disease. It is imperative that magnetic therapy continues to be used for a minimum of one month after symptoms have disappeared.

Additional Supportive Measures
While PEMF therapy can be a valuable tool in managing shingles, incorporating other supportive measures can enhance recovery:
-
Nutrition: Maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals
-
Stress Management: Engage in relaxation techniques like meditation or gentle yoga
-
Hydration: Drink plenty of water to support overall health
Safety and Considerations
PEMF therapy is generally safe and well-tolerated. However, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are pregnant.
- PEMF therapy boosts your body’s immune system.
- A weaken immune system is the driver of shingles (herpes zoster) which can happen when the body is under stress or run down.
- Daily PEMF therapy can strengthen the immune response and prevent recurrence of these infections. PEMF therapy will also reduce inflammation of the infection and manage pain relief which for some can be intolerable.
