Healing Agents and Home Remedies
Published by admin on Tagged Herpes Home RemediesHalf of the discomfort of an outbreak happens before or after any sores appear. Here are a few remedies to help deal with the pain and itching.
Aloe vera gel:
Aloe vera can be your lifesaver when it comes to cooling down the rash and itching symptoms. It gives instant relief to itching and redness and is safe to use on all mucous membranes (which means you can apply it safely where other topical products are not recommended, such as inside the mouth, on the genitals, etc).
Aloe vera gel is also very good in healing that pesky scab that forms. The beauty of using aloe gel to heal the scab (compared to other topical healing agents) is that aloe vera feeds the scab with nutrients to help repair the skin while still allowing the scab to breathe naturally and to remain dry.

Boost your Immune System
Published by admin on Tagged Herpes Dietary SupplementsYour immune system is your most valuable weapon against the herpes and cold sore virus - it is your body’s natural defense mechanism.
Your immune system is responsible for your recovery during an outbreak, as well as controlling the frequency and severity of re-occurrences.
- Olive Leaf
- Andrographis
- Echinacea
These are three herbs that can help to boost your immune system and improve your body’s resistance against retroviruses, such as herpes. They are specifically effective for herpes conditions because they have “antiviral” properties while also being powerful immune stimulators. Read the rest of this entry »
Diet and Supplement Advice
Published by admin on Tagged Herpes Dietary SupplementsPaying attention to diet and nutrition can be a simple yet effective approach when managing herpes and cold sores.
When people talk about “diet” with herpes, it is normally in relation to the amino acids Lysine and Arginine. Simply put, Arginine is required by the herpes virus to become active and to grow.
Lysine does the opposite and slows down the growth of the herpes virus. It does this by naturally restricting the levels of Arginine in the body. So, to help manage outbreaks it is helpful to eat foods HIGH in Lysine and LOW in Arginine.
Lysine restricts the herpes virus from becoming active.
Taking Lysine supplements (at least 2 x 625 mg tablets daily) can help take the worry out of maintaining this diet. By taking this amino acid (Lysine) in a tablet form you are guaranteeing that your body gets enough Lysine to counter-react the effects of the Arginine which you are sourcing naturally from your diet.

Prescription Medications (suppressives)
Published by admin on Tagged Herpes TreatmentsThe standard, effective and specific treatment for genital herpes is antiviral therapy, which is usually in tablet form. This type of therapy is normally only prescribed for cold sores when the case is particularly severe or frequent.
Antiviral herpes drugs include Valtrex, Famvir, and Acyclovir. All of these drugs have a similar mode of action and help to stop HSV from replicating inside the body.
These treatments only work while you are taking the drug and cannot prevent future outbreaks once you stop taking it.
Antiviral medications can be used in one of 2 ways to:
1) Treat outbreaks when and if they happen (episodic)
Known as “episodic” treatment, the aim is to shorten the time each outbreak lasts for and to relieve the active symptoms. If you are coping well and your outbreaks are not too frequent, you and your doctor may agree that episodic treatment is the most appropriate option.
2) Prevent or delay recurrent outbreaks by taking tablets everyday (suppressive)
If your recurrent outbreaks are frequent or severe your doctor may recommend that you take oral antiviral medication every day to help prevent outbreaks happening. “Suppressive” therapy is taken continuously, e.g. daily, for months or even years, but is normally very effective in helping to prevent recurrences.
