Varicella is Chicken pox nosode, (thus used for prophylaxis of same and in (case-specific) situations in complications from Chickenpox). Also, I believe a herpes relative that could (in some cases) also be used (depending on situation) in prophylaxis or in relation to shingles, as it is thought implicated in that disorder when called for. Alt name (according to below) varicella-zoster virus (VZV).

Materia Medica:

Reckeweg:
The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from vesicles and papules and also the brownish-yellow scabs which form after 1-2 days in chickenpox patients.
The viral disease, chickenpox (varicella) generally runs its course without any special general symptoms, and is characterized by a typical skin rash, with the most varied stages occurring simultaneously. The exanthemata may be found on the hard or soft palate, possibly also on the vulva and on the glans penis or inner surface of the prepuce, occurring less frequently on the conjunctiva or cornea, and very rarely on the vocal cords, when a laryngeal stenosis with varicellar croup may develop. The cause of chickenpox is the varicella-zoster virus (VZV) from the family of
herpetoviridae, which may also cause shingles (herpes zoster), so that there are relationships here with the development of uterine or cervical cancer. Thus the Varicella Nosode is for use in skin eruptions, including those which itch at night and are of a pustular nature; it may also be used in herpes simplex (or zoster), and in cervical cancer, possibly in alternation with the Herpes Simplex Nosode, the Herpes Zoster Nosode and Variolinum.

Hello everyone

Does anyone have any information on this remedy? I was told there is a good
article by Jan Walker published in Homeopathy International, but can't find
any information about either the article or the remedy anywhere!

Help!

Thanks and regards
Eleana
