Reckeweg R 68 Shingles Drops (Herpezostin) – Soothing Homeopathic Care for Herpes Zoster and Skin Neuralgia

Zoster Relief, Naturally: Gentle Homeopathic Support

Introducing Reckeweg R 68 Shingles Drops, also known as Herpezostin, a 22 ml homeopathic tincture from the esteemed German brand Dr. Reckeweg & Co. designed for systemic support during Herpes zoster (shingles) and facial or trunk skin irritations. With carefully selected actives, this formulation aims to reduce burning, itching, vesicular eruptions, and nerve-related discomfort—providing natural relief when traditional interventions are limited.

Who Is It For?

• Individuals experiencing shingles (Herpes zoster) lesions—blistering, red rash, intense itching, burning and tingling.
• Those suffering facial neuralgia or post-herpetic nerve pain following a shingles outbreak.
• People with cold sore flare-ups (Herpes simplex) featuring vesicle formation, burning sensations, or discomfort around the lips.

This remedy is suitable for adults and adolescents (12+), offering a homeopathic option where soothing care is needed for viral-related nerve and skin symptoms.

Key Ingredients & Therapeutic Roles

Reckeweg R‑68 combines four principal homeopathic actives to target virus-driven skin conditions and nerve pain:

• Mezereum D3: Targets weeping vesicles surrounded by a red area, intense itching, burning, and zoster neuralgia.
• Croton tiglium D6: Addresses blister eruptions, intense itching, and burning skin eruptions.
• Rhus toxicodendron D4: Helps in painful, red, bursting vesicles and bullae, often accompanied by neuralgic pain.
• Natrium chloratum D6: Supports care of cold sores (herpes labialis) and recurrent oral lesions.

Together, these ingredients work synergistically to calm inflamed vesicular skin, soothe nerve pain, and encourage skin recovery.

What Benefits to Expect

• Relief from burning, stinging, or stitching pain associated with shingles rash
• Reduction in intense itching or tingling that accompanies vesicle formation.
• Supportive care during lesion formation and healing, helping ease patient discomfort.
• Potential prevention of post-herpetic neuropathy when used early in the outbreak.
• Gentle, non-habit-forming formula suitable for systemic relief when topical options are limited.

Reckeweg R‑68 is ideal for managing both skin symptoms and underlying nerve irritation—making it a thoughtful choice for viral reactivations that affect the skin and nerves.

FAQs R 68 Shingles Drops

1. What is Reckeweg R‑68 and how does it help with shingles and nerve pain?

Reckeweg R‑68, also known as Herpezostin, is a homeopathic oral tincture designed to provide systemic support during outbreaks of Herpes zoster, commonly known as shingles. Developed by Dr. Reckeweg & Co. in Germany, it helps relieve the burning, tingling, and itching associated with shingles rashes, as well as the nerve pain that often follows outbreaks. The formula targets both the skin and underlying nerves, offering a natural, non-habit-forming way to soothe discomfort when traditional medications may not be enough or aren’t well tolerated.

 

2. Who is R‑68 suitable for?

R‑68 is ideal for adults and adolescents over the age of 12 who are experiencing shingles, post-herpetic neuralgia, or cold sore flare-ups. Whether you’re dealing with painful blisters on the face or torso, or lingering nerve pain after the rash has faded, this remedy provides gentle yet effective support. It’s especially useful for people looking for a natural approach to calm viral-related skin irritation and nerve inflammation, including those who may be sensitive to or seeking alternatives to conventional treatments.

 

3. What symptoms can R 68 Shingles Drops help relieve during a shingles outbreak?

R‑68 is formulated to reduce a wide range of symptoms associated with shingles. It can ease the burning, stinging, or stitching pain that often accompanies the rash, relieve intense itching and tingling sensations as vesicles form, and support skin healing as the outbreak progresses. Many users also find that starting R‑68 early in an outbreak may help reduce the likelihood or severity of post-herpetic neuralgia, which is the nerve pain that can persist after the rash has healed.

 

4. Can R 68 Shingles Drops help with cold sores or facial herpes symptoms?

Yes, R 68 Shingles Drops may also provide relief for cold sore (Herpes simplex) symptoms. Its ingredients, particularly Natrium chloratum, are known for their effectiveness in treating oral lesions and the burning or discomfort that comes with them. If you frequently suffer from cold sores around the lips, especially during stress or illness, R‑68 offers systemic support to help reduce irritation and speed up recovery.

 

5. How should I take R 68 Shingles Drops during the acute phase of shingles or facial neuralgia?

During the early, active stage of a shingles outbreak—when blisters and nerve pain are at their worst—you can take 10 drops of R‑68 diluted in a little water every 30 to 60 minutes. This frequent dosing helps manage symptoms more effectively. As you begin to feel relief, you can reduce the frequency to every 2 to 3 hours to continue soothing both the skin and nerves as they begin to heal.

 

6. What is the best way to take R 68 Shingles Drops for ongoing recovery or prevention of flare-ups?

Once your symptoms improve, you can shift to a maintenance routine by taking 10 to 15 drops of R‑68 two to three times daily. This helps ensure a smooth healing process and may help prevent post-herpetic nerve pain or future flare-ups. Consistent dosing during the recovery period supports skin regeneration and nerve health, particularly in sensitive individuals.

 

7. Are there any special tips to make R 68 Shingles Drops more effective?

To get the most benefit from R 68 Shingles Drops, hold the diluted solution in your mouth for a few seconds before swallowing. This allows better absorption through the mucous membranes. It’s also a good idea to avoid mint, garlic, coffee, camphor, and other strong scents or flavors for about 30 minutes before and after taking your dose, as these can interfere with the action of homeopathic remedies. Always store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

 

8. Can R 68 Shingles Drops be used alongside other Reckeweg remedies?

Yes, R 68 Shingles Drops works well when paired with other Reckeweg products, especially when your symptoms extend beyond the skin. If your shingles pain affects the chest or trunk, combining R‑68 with R‑69 (Intercostal Neuralgia Drops) can improve relief. For facial nerve pain or neuralgia after shingles, R‑70 is a great complementary remedy. If you’re experiencing swollen lymph nodes, you can add R‑1 for inflammation support. For external use on lesions, applying Atomare-Beckeron R30 ointment may enhance comfort and healing.

 

9. Are there self-care practices that can support the effects of R 68 Shingles Drops?

Yes, several simple lifestyle habits can enhance your recovery when using R 68 Shingles Drops. Keep the affected areas clean and dry, and avoid scratching or applying friction to the rash. Drink plenty of fluids and avoid spicy or irritating foods that could trigger inflammation. Getting adequate sleep, managing stress, and eating immune-supportive foods rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, and zinc can also speed up healing and improve your overall comfort during a shingles or herpes outbreak.

 

10. Is R 68 Shingles Drops safe to use, and when should I consult a doctor?

R 68 Shingles Drops are generally safe when used as directed and is free from major side effects. However, it contains alcohol as a base and should always be diluted before taking. It is not recommended for children under 12 or for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding without professional medical advice. If your symptoms worsen, you develop a fever, or your lesions become infected, widespread, or unusually painful, stop using R‑68 and seek medical evaluation. It’s important to monitor your condition closely and consult a healthcare provider if you’re unsure about continuing treatment.
