CHICKEN POX

    This is a highly contagious disease caused by the herpes zoster virus. While chicken pox generally affects children, when it appears in adults and teenagers if can be far more serious. The incubation period is usually 14 to 21 days. The symptoms start with a skin rash. Often a fever, headache, and aching muscles are experienced. The rash changes into pimples and then blisters that enlarge and become filled with pus. The skin can become very itchy.
Do not scratch the affected areas, as it could cause scarring. The blisters dry up in a few days and are covered with scales. After all the blisters have scabbed, the disease is no longer contagious.
    To help relieve symptoms, wash the affected area with Antibacterial Liquid Soap. Pat dry and liberally apply T36-C5. Allow the oil sufficient time to soak into the skin. After the rash has fully developed, usually within 2 or 3 days, soak in 1 oz of Sol-U-Mel and 1 oz of Renew Bath Oil in a tub of warm water for 15 minutes to help with the itching. After soaking, pat dry and reapply the T36-C5. When the oil has started to be absorbed into the skin or is dry, apply either MelaGel or Renew Intensive Skin Therapy. Repeat the process several times a day. Drinking one to four cups of Melaleuca Herbal Tea each day may also be helpful.
