Our products are not designed to address this type of neuralgia, but there are other recommendations for relief.
For postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), the recommended approach is to initiate antiviral treatment and allow a waiting period of approximately six months. Simple and effective strategies include increasing magnesium intake, maintaining proper hydration, and employing techniques to redirect attention from pain signals, such as those developed through "body inventory meditation."
For a more unconventional approach, if sedation is required for a procedure, consider the application of 8% capsaicin to desensitize the pain pathways for up to three months. This method may be particularly beneficial for addressing neuropathic numbness, though it can produce a burning sensation upon application in cases of PHN. Additionally, using Glad Press'n Seal on the affected area before sleep may help mitigate sleep disturbances caused by neuralgia, which can exacerbate pain perception.
Please note that our products are not designed to address these specific concerns.
