One of the best ways to use essential oils for shingles is to apply it topically. Before doing so, dilute the oil with carrier oil to avoid irritation.
Another option is to put the oils in a bottle, then spray it on a soft warmed up washcloth and place the warm compress directly on the affected area.
You can also add the essential oil blend to your bath water or use a diffuser to get the effects of the antiviral properties.
