GODDESS OF COMPASSION 1 is used for the treatment of chickenpox in the acute stage (WEI
FEN). Chickenpox (or chicken pox) is a highly contagious disease caused by primary infection with
varicella zoster virus Chickenpoxus (VZV). It usually starts with vesicular skin rash mainly on the body
and head rather than at the periphery and becomes itchy, raw pockmarks, which mostly heal without
scarring.
The early (prodromal) symptoms in adolescents and adults are nausea, loss of appetite, aching
muscles, and headache. This is followed by the characteristic rash, malaise and a low-grade fever that
signal the presence of the disease. In children the illness is not usually preceded by prodromal
symptoms and the first sign is the rash. The rash begins as small red dots on the face, scalp, torso and
upper arms and legs; progressing over 10–12 hours to small bumps, blisters and pustules; followed by
umbilication and the formation of scabs. At the blister stage intense itch is usually present. Blisters
may also occur on the palms, soles and mucous membranes, and painful, shallow ulcers may appear in
the mouth, the top of the throat and the genital area. These symptoms appear from 10 to 21 days after
infection, and the infected person is typically infectious from one to two days prior to the appearance
of the rash and remains infectious until four or five days after its appearance. Adults may have a more
widespread rash, and longer fever; and are more likely to experience complications, such as varicella
pneumonia. The most common late complication of chickenpox is shingles (herpes zoster), caused by
reactivation of the varicella zoster virus decades after the initial episode of chickenpox.
One should be aware that in case of infectious diseases (Wen Bing Lun = Virus = Damp Heat Toxins)
like chicken pox and others, the pathogenic influences is already hiding in the deepest layer of the
organism (XUE FEN) and just shows off his head in WEI FEN (Surface = Skin layer). This is the reason
why high dosages are recommended right from the beginning. This is a very important rule of
treatment which should be respected with all Wen Bing Lung ailments particularly with children
illnesses. GODDESS OF COMPASSION, like all Wen Bing Lun remedies has a cold property and
should not be used in case of spleen and kidney yang deficiency with internal damp cold. All Wen Bing
Lun formulas can be prescribed as a decoction.
The patient should give up chocolate, sugar, dairy products, animal protein, sausage, lamb, chicken,
poultry, alcohol, fish, seafood, yogi tea, nutmeg, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, chilli, fennel seeds,
garlic, onion, chives, leek and hot spices.
