Should Moringa Oleifera Oil Or Prescription Medication Be Taken For The Treatment Of Shingles?

I have a slight rash on my back. Doc says its shingles. No itch, doesn t hurt. I have been applying moringa oleferia (most nutrient plant on earth). Pure oil from the pods of this plant and frankensce oil. Doctor also gave me a prescription if it spreads or itches. Should I continue with the oils or get the prescription filled?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I suggest you to take presripted medicine like Acyclovir cream.
It will help you more with the itching and you will recover faster.
