Chickenpox 

Herbal, Homeopathic, and Lifestyle Support

Chickenpox is a viral illness caused by the varicella-zoster virus, commonly affecting children. The infection is marked by a red, itchy rash that progresses to fluid-filled blisters, accompanied by fever, fatigue, and irritability. While the condition is self-limiting, chickenpox can cause significant discomfort and skin irritation, and a comprehensive natural approach can significantly improve comfort, reduce the risk of secondary infections, and promote faster recovery.
