Genital herpes - natural and alternative treatment remedies
from:Modern medical science has not been able to produce a cure for
the herpes simplex virus (HSV) and can only offer pharmaceutical
solutions that help ease the pain and speed up recovery from a
genital herpes outbreak. For those that don't want to turn to
medication to manage a lifetime of outbreaks, several holistic
and natural remedies may offer a safer alternative.
TOPICAL TREATMENT OPTIONS
While there is no cure for genital herpes, many holistic
treatment resources and studies have shown that naturally
occurring plants and foods are effective at managing herpes
outbreaks:
- Topical honey application
- Prunella Vulgaris herb
- Tea Tree oil
- Lemon Balm
- Aloe Vera
- Eucalyptus
- red marine algae
SOOTHE THE PAIN
- warm sitz bathes 3 - 4 times a day (sitting in a bath with
your knees up)
- use a hair dryer to dry the areas with outbreaks
- wear loose fitting cotton underwear that is absorbent
- to reduce inflammation and swelling take aspirin or ibuprofen
DIET HELPERS
There are several foods that researches have discovered in
certain studies that have a beneficial effect on reducing the
number of outbreaks people will have over time. The following
foods have been noted in scientific research studies as having a
positive effect:
- cranberries (which naturally contain proanthocyanidin A-1)
- broccoli, cabbage and brussels (which naturally contain
indole-3-carbinol)
- lysine supplement
LIFESTYLE
- get plenty of sleep
- manage stress effectively
- eat a balanced and health diet
- exercise

may be worth investigating these holistic options before turning
to invasive and costly medical treatments. Ensure to discuss any
alternative treatment strategies with your health care
practitioner before starting them. You can learn more about
