Are you battling a shingles outbreak and searching for natural relief that actually works?
Before you reach for another over-the-counter cream or prescription pill, it’s time to learn about two powerful herbal allies that have been used for centuries to fight viruses and soothe inflammation: Olive Leaf and Chaparral.
Let’s dive into how this dynamic herbal duo can help you bounce back from shingles—naturally and effectively.
🌿 What Are Shingles?
Shingles is a painful viral rash caused by the re-activation of the varicella-zoster virus—the same virus that causes chickenpox. Once you’ve had chickenpox, this virus hides in your nerve tissue and can wake up years later, especially when your immune system is weakened by stress, illness, or aging.
The result? Burning, tingling, painful blisters that can make even putting on clothes feel unbearable.
But there’s hope—and it comes from the earth.
Olive Leaf: Nature’s Antiviral Warrior
Olive leaf extract is a lesser-known powerhouse that packs a punch when it comes to viral infections.
🔬 What makes it so powerful?
The key compound in olive leaf is oleuropein, which has strong antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. It works by interfering with the virus’s ability to replicate, slowing down its spread and reducing the severity of symptoms.
🛡️ Olive Leaf Benefits for Shingles:
Helps weaken and slow down the shingles virus
Supports your immune system
Reduces nerve inflammation and pain
Speeds up skin healing
🌵Chaparral: The Desert Detoxifier
Chaparral is a desert herb that’s been used for centuries by Indigenous tribes for treating infections, inflammation, and skin conditions.
It contains NDGA (nordihydroguaiaretic acid), a powerful antioxidant with strong antiviral and anti-inflammatory effects—especially against herpes-family viruses like shingles.
💥 Chaparral Benefits for Shingles:
Stops viral replication in its tracks
Acts as a natural pain reliever for shingles nerve pain
Helps dry up shingles blisters faster
Supports liver detox (important during a viral outbreak)
🧪 How to Use Olive Leaf & Chaparral Together:
These herbs can be taken internally as capsules or tinctures, or used topically in salves or infused oils for direct relief on blisters and rashes.
Suggested Internal Dosage:
Olive Leaf Extract: 500–1000mg daily (check for standardized oleuropein content)
Chaparral Capsules or Tea: Use short-term during outbreak only. Always follow safe dosage guidelines.
Pro Tip: Combine with Seamoss gel or burdock root to support detox and mineral replenishment during recovery.
⚠️ A Few Things to Keep in Mind:
Chaparral should not be used long-term or in high doses. If you have liver issues, consult a healthcare professional before using.
Always buy herbs from trusted, high-quality sources (like PHX HERB N OILS 😉).
Drink plenty of water, rest, and reduce sugar intake to support healing.
💚 Final Thoughts: You Can Heal Naturally
Shingles is painful, but it doesn’t have to control your life. Nature has already provided powerful tools to help your body fight back. With the antiviral strength of Olive Leaf and Chaparral, you’re giving your body what it needs to heal faster, reduce pain, and bounce back stronger than ever.
