First off, I'm extremely supportive of 'alternative' medical options,
including the use of herbs...
That said, it SHOULD be pointed out that both shingles AND oral canker
sores have the same cause, namely the herpes zoster virus (same one as
causes chicken pox)...
One is never 'cured' of this virus...once infected, the person always has
it present, albeit in remission...
So before jumping on the 'we found an herbal cure' for these things, I'd
make doubly sure that the patients with these conditions didn't just go
into remission, as normally happens with these conditions...
