Goddess of Compassion 2<br />

GODDESS OF COMPASSION 2 is used for the treatment of chickenpox in the chronic stage.<br />

Chickenpox (or chicken pox) is a highly contagious disease caused by primary infection with varicella<br />

zoster virus (VZV). It usually starts with vesicular skin rash mainly on the body and head rather than<br />

at the periphery and becomes itchy, raw pockmarks, which mostly heal without scarring.<br />

The early (prodrChickenpoxomal) symptoms in adolescents and adults are nausea, loss of appetite,<br />

aching muscles, and headache. This is followed by the characteristic rash, malaise and a low-grade<br />

fever that signal the presence of the disease. In children the illness is not usually preceded by<br />

prodromal symptoms and the first sign is the rash. The rash begins as small red dots on the face, scalp,<br />

torso and upper arms and legs; progressing over 10–12 hours to small bumps, blisters and pustules;<br />

followed by umbilication and the formation of scabs. At the blister stage intense itch is usually present.<br />

Blisters may also occur on the palms, soles and mucous membranes, and painful, shallow ulcers may<br />

appear in the mouth, the top of the throat and the genital area. These symptoms appear from 10 to 21<br />

days after infection, and the infected person is typically infectious from one to two days prior to the<br />

appearance of the rash and remains infectious until four or five days after its appearance. Adults may<br />

have a more widespread rash, and longer fever; and are more likely to experience complications, such<br />

as varicella pneumonia. The most common late complication of chickenpox is shingles (herpes zoster),<br />

caused by reactivation of the varicella zoster virus decades after the initial episode of chickenpox.<br />

This strong herbal remedy penetrates in QI FEN, YING FEN and XUE FEN and should always be used<br />

in high doses. GODDESS OF COMPASSION 2 reaches the deepest layers of the body (Xue Fen) and<br />

drains damp heat toxins (Shi Re Du = Virus) through the elimination channels, clears heat<br />

(antipyretic), clears blood heat (skin rashes), eliminate wind damp heat from the skin layer (damp skin<br />

rash) and prevents the encapsulation of damp heat toxins in Xue Fen (with late effect = herpes zoster).<br />

This preparation can be combined with GODDESS OF COMPASSION 1. Like all Wen Bing Lun<br />

remedies GODDESS OF COMPASSION 2 has a very cold property and should not be used in case of<br />

spleen and kidney yang deficiency with internal damp cold. All Wen Bing Lun formulas can be<br />

prescribed as a decoction.<br />

The patient should give up chocolate, sugar, dairy products, animal protein, sausage, lamb, chicken,<br />

poultry, alcohol, fish, seafood, yogi tea, nutmeg, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, chilli, fennel seeds,<br />

garlic, onion, chives, leek and hot spices.
