Talk:Chicken pox

From CopperWiki

For children with chicken pox, a triphala, harh bahera powder is usually given at night soaked for a little while and had before one goes to sleep. This not only clears up the digestive tract of toxins, but is a kind of laxative. This is especially superb when people have cancer, it mops up the toxins left behind by the radical treatments followed by allopathy in the treatment of the disease.

when we were children, we were given atleast 4 almonds soaked overnight as well as loads of fresh amla to eat. the vitamin c boost apparently did wonders for the chick pox. i can't ever remember getting antihistamine or anything other than crocin syrup just to bring down the fever.

[edit] Have parents gone completely mad? What next Chicken pox parties!

Just a random search today for what everyone does for kids with chick pox and i came across this tit-bit that parents bring their kids to chickenpox parties in an effort to expose their children to the virus. They feel that exposing their children early will prevent problems in the future since it is believed that lifetime immunity is developed once you have had the disease. But as is always a thing about children , they are perverse! The dashed kids don't get the virus, well obviously since the total amount of time a child is extremely contagious is slightly more than one week and the virus is most contagious during the period right before the lesions begin appearing until scabs form on the chickenpox sores..... I really think that there are not enough shrinks in this world.. check out Mothering magazine
