Are there any natural cures for shingles? My grandmother had a bad case of shingles right now, and she is miserable. She is in a lot of pain,a nd I feel very badly for her. I wish there was something I could do for her. The doctor gave her some prescription medications, but they do not seem to ne helping much. My grandmother likes to use natural remedies for as many conditions as she can. I wish I knew of one that she could use for her shingles.
