Natural Cures For Genital Herpes
|
You’d be surprised to know medical researchers have been unable to find a cure for herpes till date! Now, isn’t this an unsettling thought? But before you start fearing the worst, know that not all get afflicted with this condition and those who do, generally recover. Let’s see what this disease is all about.
Herpes defined
Herpes is a viral infection that commonly affects the mouth and genital regions. In US alone, fifty to eighty percent of the adult population carries oral herpes and twenty percent or over fifty million people, genital herpes. And the majority of these remain ignorant about it!
Both oral herpes, which manifests itself as cold sores or fever blisters, and genital herpes that appears as genital sores or sores below the waist, is caused by herpes simplex virus. Since this virus weakens the immune system, it’s important to keep herpes in check at all times.
Getting herpes
The good news is herpes doesn’t spread through air, but the bad news is it does through skin contact. A mere touch is enough, especially if the skin has sores. So, be careful with strangers, while kissing or having oral sex or intercourse. An uninfected individual has about seventy-five percent chances of contracting herpes during intimate contact. Even if you don’t see anything on your skin, but experience itching or other sensations, be warned it may be herpes. The first outbreak is usually painful and may cause itching, burning or tingling. It may also display flu-like symptoms of swollen glands, headache, muscle ache and fever.
Preventing herpes
The best defense against herpes is to avoid it in the first place. The best possible preventive measure is to maintain general good health and keep stress to a minimum. However, if you are infected, there are things you can do to minimize its effect:
a. Take care of the affected skin area by keeping it clean and dry during outbreaks to help healing.
b. Avoid physical contact with the affected area from the time the skin starts tingling, itching or burning until all sores get completely healed and not just scabbed-over.
c. Always wash hands with soap and water, if you happen to touch a sore. It kills herpes virus.
d. Those with genital herpes should use latex condoms during intercourse to prevent spreading.
e. See your physician while the symptoms are still present. This will help in securing virus for specific virus culture.
Natural Remedies
Although there are no medical cures yet for herpes, there are certain effective home remedies that can be used successfully in controlling the outbreak and even curing herpes. However, before you try anything, consult your physician first.
a. Avoid diet products containing the synthetic sweetener, aspartame. This ingredient is known to trigger herpes outbreak.
b. Increase the intake of diet high in lysine and low in arginine. This means, eat more fish, chicken, beef, lamb, milk, cheese, beans, brewer’s yeast and most fruits and vegetables, and avoid chocolate, coconut, oats, whole wheat, white flour, peanuts, soybeans and wheat germ.
c. Amongst herbal remedies, use of the medicinal herb Prunella vulgaris. It’s known to prevent herpes. Acyclovir, another natural product, also helps, but overuse is known to cause renal toxicity. Tea Tree Oil, another common product, has been successfully used in controlling herpes outbreak.
d. Stress is known to contribute in frequent outbreaks of herpes. So, adopting natural treatments and alternative therapies, like yoga, meditation can help manage stress.
Herpes is here to stay and with people carrying it around on person, it may be difficult to avoid! But, if you do get it, don’t panic, using natural cures can help you contain this menace. But whatever you do, don’t forget to consult your physician first.

I take a bath to gently clean the effected area with very mild soap if any soap at all. Then use a hair dryer to dry the area instead of a towel. I then put some tea tree oil on a q-tip and apply it to the lesions. It does burn but it heals the lesions much faster.
I bath is a very dilute solution of the old fashion brown lysol and water. It stops the outbreaks immediatley.
try cator oil it really works
I take zinc tablets everyday and have not had another outbreak since I have been diagnosed
The wonderful oregonal p-73 helps control and helps outbreaks go away faster. Available at your local health food store. Also L-lysine vitamins sometimes works. Also drink lots of tea with ANTIOXIDANTS, such as green tea, red tea, and white tea, which has 50 more times the antioxidants in it. Remember for women these breakouts will come about aprox, 4 to 5 days before your menses. So try to keep track with your monthly cycle, so you can take the remedies before they pop up. when I don;t keep track they come, and oooowww!!! they are painful! I hope this will help anybody that suffers, from this painful disease. God bless, and pray for a cure.
I have pretty luck. I have not had a outbreak in a few years(knock on wood). But when I do, I use calamine lotion. It is soothing and dries them up. Hope this helps. Also know that it is possible to be outbreak free for years at a time. Aloha!!!
Your blog is interesting!
Keep up the good work!
Whenever I get an outbreak, I dab bleach on the spots with a q-tip. Then I wash it with acne face soap to dry it out. Seems to kill the outbreak immediately, and I heard this from someone else who has also had good luck with this technique. Make sure not to use too much bleach however and don’t get it in open cuts or sores…It made me sick one time when I overused it
You’ll need ~ Q-TIPS, BLEACH & COTTON BALLS. Herpes in the mouth can be carefully destroyed with a bleach dampened Q-Tip. The Q-Tip CANNOT be dripping wet! Squeeze off the excess bleach. Gently rub one sore for 5 - 10 minutes or untill you bleed a little from it. Do the rest of your sores if you have many. Place cotton in your mouth and suck your spit if you salavate. Keep the cotton in your mouth or nose for 30 minutes. Then rinse your mouth with water and or mouth wash. Do this treatment whenever a break out occurs; the sores will begin to diminish and basically be cured. This may work for Genital Herpes as well. Just make sure you bleed a little to ensure some disinegration of the virus during bleach applications. Docotrs would not recomend this, but I believe it is a painfull but necessary cure.
Has anyone ever tried “oil of oregano”?
I was diagnosed in 2000 and i have never had an outbreak. So I’m leery.
has anyone ever dabbed peroxide on it?
I have tried peroxide, and it absolutely DOES NOT help.
Years ago I came down with genital herpes on my face under my lips. I started taking (2) 500 or (1)1000 mg. capsule of L-Lysine, an amino acid, every day. Now, I rarely get an outbreak.
For Cold sores I use cool mint Listerine. It is gone with in a day or two. I just put it on the cold sore about three times daily
My ex girl friend use to get cold sores all the time and the doctor suggested she take L-Lysine cause it helps with getting poisons out of the body and would help with cold sores. They went away and never came back
i have herpes and they are really bad
cold sores….earwax. start when it starts to tingle it will never come to the surface
1250mg of L-Lysine daily as a suppliment works great to prevent outbreaks. If you feel any tingle at all, up the dose to 1000mg x3/day. It will like prevent an outbreak, but if it doesn’t, the outbreak will be less severe and will heal quicker if you continue the regimine throughout the healing process.
Keep the area clean by washing it several times a day. Apply tea-tree oil using a q-tip and then dab dry golden seal on it. It turns the sore an ugly yellow color, but promots fast healing. If you are suffering from Herpes II, keep a little toliet paper on the area to absorb fluid (and prevent it from spreading). Change the dressing frequently throughout the day. Wash using soap and water in between dressing changes.
Get lots of sleep, and try not to stress out. Eat a healthy diet, avoiding too much caffine, sugar, alcohol, and chocolate. Spend a few minutes several times a day appreciating yourself, accepting yourself, and loving yourself. I know it might be hard to do, especially with the stigma that society has attached to having Herpes, but remember that you are not alone and you did nothing wrong. I think that self-forgiveness is a big lesson to be learned through all of this.
Other helpful products have been L-lysine cream, and H-Balm essential oil. I also seem to benefit from a little lavender oil in my bath and from Lemon Balm tea.
Good Luck, and be well!
I noticed the blisters coming without the intense itch that goes along with it. before i realized, i already had the open sores. it took only 2 days of a bath tub low with water and 2tablespoons of bleach (Clorox) morning and night and the blisters were completely gone and i felt like i never had an outbreak. stick with bleach and a tub of warm water, the sores dissappear almost instantly.
I take 2000 mg L-LYSINE a day. If I feel like I am havin a outbreak then I take ee000mg a day while bathing n clorox bleach n drinkin pau d arco tea n adding 15 drops of the liqud I havent had an out break since I found out I had this
I take 2000 mg L-LYSINE a day. If I feel like I am havin a outbreak then I take 3000mg a day while bathing n clorox bleach n drinkin pau d arco tea n adding 15 drops of the liqud I havent had an out break since I found out I had this
I don’t have a remedy I just received my first out break and it stings and I really wanna get rid of it!! What can I do immedietly that I would have in the house!! I have never had herpes in the mouth just a few days ago I reveived the genital effects!! What do I do??
I was diagnosed last April and the way I found out was by my first outbreak. I simply didn’t know what it was at first. But ever since I was put on Valtrex and Zovirax to treat my first outbreak. I have never had an outbreak since and no longer need those medications. Of course, unless I have an outbreak. But there are a few everyday steps that I do to prevent them from happening in the first place. And I that is the anti bacterial Dial body wash that I use (it’s great for keeping the bacteria level low) and keeping your STREES LEVEL low defininatley helps. I also recommend cotton underwear, never wear clothes that are too tight or that make you sweat. It can trigger outbreaks because you want to keep the affected area clean and cool everyday. Good Luck and God Bless.
Oh and another thing, before I was diagnosed, a really bad nurse told me to use a warm cloth on it. DO NOT DO THAT. It simply makes it extremely painful. The open sores need to be fanned with cool air and keeping it out of direct sunlight especially helps too when you are experiencing an outbreak as well, wash the area atleast two to three times a day. I really like Zovirax, great medication for this virus. It’s a medicated cream and within the first week my sores we almost 100% gone. Good Luck
I rub 91% rubbing alcohol on the area when I first start to feel funny. Dries it out and discourages the attack.
I also do this if I have sores - this hurts like an (expletive) but it helps it go away faster.
Oh and stay AWAY from aspartame, artificial sweeteners, and drinking Apple Cider Vinegar. All of those can those can trigger an attack.
I have an outbreak once every 4 years after being diagnosed in 1994. I mix vit. E oil, tea tree oil and nutribiontic (grapefruit seed extract found at my health food store) together and dab on sore about 3 times a day. It’s important to use the E oil because the other two can be very drying to the skin if used undiluted.
I up my Vit. C and take L-Lysine.
I have herpes simplex 2 and I was getting tired of feeling tingly and itchy down there every other day. I do lysine, I take valtrex, vitamins ect ect. Nothing worked. I got so fed up I went to the drug store and bought the aerosol can of Lysol (says right on the bottle it kills simplex 1&2), and I straight up spray it directly on me. It burned like a motherf**ker, but I guess I’m used to that anyway HA. After the burning stopped I washed it off, and felt like a million bucks.
Use DMSO as soon as you feel it coming on. It should minimize the growth.
I was able to cure my herpes (yes, I said CURE) with a silver solution I found that is much better than colloidal silver. No viruses can live in it’s presence. http://www.oxysilver.com/1211 This stuff is good for anything that affects the immune system and has a money back guarantee! It seriously worked for me, I recommend it to anyone, including people with cancer, aids, or any other ailment.
I THINK I MAY HAVE HERPES BUT IM NOT SURE I HAVE THESE MOLE LIKE BUMPS AROUND MY ANAL AND I SOMETIMES GET SORES IN MY MOUTH. THEY FEEL LIKE BUMPS OR CUTS. I HAVE TRIED VAGINAL TEST, AND BATHING IN BAKING SODA BUT IT STILL DOESN’T WORK I STILL GET A DISCHARGE EVERYDAY WITH AN ODOR! CAN SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE!
I WOULD GO TO THE DOCTORS BUT I DON’T HAVE ANY INSURANCE AND I’M SCARED TO DEATH TO TELL MY MOTHER.
put ice on the area, then blow dry it with a hair drier, it confuses the virus
I usually take 3 pills of quantum lysine products on an empty stomach 3 times a day at first sign of symptoms for 10 days. I also make an organic apple cidar vinager tonic of two table spoons vinagar in cold water (hot water de-actvates the enzymes) and a few table spoons of local organic honey twice a day. Warm baths help, followed by tea tree oil application with a cotton swab. Healing meditation, deep breathing, plenty of rest, yoga to help open meridians throughout the body. Lots of water!!! Avoid caffiene, chocolate, red wine, any pollutants. Licorice root, milk thistle, echinacea, lemonbalm teas are amazing!!! Dance to help deepen your mediation practice…get out of your head and don’t stress it will get better with time and care. Love yourself and others.
where do you get the L-LYSINE from?
I put windex on it and it is gone in 3 hours.
Tracey how long have you had it? and dose the zinc really work?
this was very helpful, seems like everyone has had good luck with the l-lysine. I have heard that drinking small amounts of food grade hydrogen peroxide helps so ive been trying it but have done it long enough to tell yet. Someone asked about oil of oregano and i have used that alot and i do believe it helps. I slam some when i feel a outbreak coming and it seems to make it go away before it happens. Tastes nasty tho, best to mix it with a tiny bit of orange juice and then chase it with more oj… Stress definatly makes it worse, when i lost my job i was struggling really bad with it. Eat good, h202, l-lysine, maybe oil of oregano, reduce stress and anything you can do to detoxify your body and increase you imune system will help!!
I drink copious amounts of red wine daily. Not a drunkard and not by day, but before hitting the sack I’d say at least 1.5 bottles of red wine. Roseveratrol….. or other type of enzyme… I feel nice and it’s helps me creatively.
I stay out of the sun mostly. If an outbreak should present itself I give it a day and let it churn and burn… as it does. Once the blisters arrive I take toilet paper and grab them and squish them to get the liquid out. I wash with soap and water and gently dry with the corner of my towel and am careful not to touch that corner again without washing the towel. Painful at first… but it could be worse…
I don’t apply anything to the sores, but I like what I have read and will try, however, I have not had an outbreak in a long time. I am 44 and it seems with age they don’t bother with us older folks. Stress is a biggie…. chill…. be cool as a cucumber as they say…. and you will be OKAY! Get 8 to 9 hours sleep and you’re homefree!
By the way…. previous writer: You do not get it from SKIN ON SKIN unless there is an outbreak. It’s not on your shoulder bro! You get it when you kiss where you pee or do the ol’ in and out…. so wrap it. My bad came from a girl who had sex with EVERYBODY…. and guess what …… she gave it to EVERY BODY!
Just live a healthy lifestyle and stay away from nuts, hard liquor, and stress…. oh, and tell your partner! Lastly, eat. Not over eat, but 5 small meals a day with plenty of egg whites, milk, and steak…. you are Golden!
XOXO EVERYBODY!
I have a very mild case of genital herpers but I have found that using Abreva at the first sign of an outbreak provides quick releif and heals faster. This is good for those who don’t get outbreaks that often.
Try rubbing alcohol (91%)as well, even when you have sores..even better, I know it will be painful. For males, you can take it a step further and use a needle, remove the needle cap from the tube. Pour some alcohol in a clean cup, suck the alcolol in the tube of the needle. Inject the alcohol in your alrethra, then repeat several times over several hours or days. But, continue to use it on the outter skin as well. I have read the alcohol can kill the herpes virus as long as it’s 85% or stronger even though it reproduces itself. If you continue to do it right, your urine will turn to a creamy color after a week or so. You can slowly feel it weakening. Also use it on your skin before and after you take a warm shower. Your pores will open up from the warm water and steam and it absorbs in your skin alot better. So, don’t dry off, let yourself drip dry if you have to. I use alcohol for cleaning certain tough stains and my athletes foot which I just got recently (never had it before) because I am on my feet alot now.
put ice on the area right when the tingle starts….keep doing it and the outbreak will not come out.
I am the official worldwide QUEEN of herpes. I do not have genital herpes (ever) but I have had every other form (shingles, facial herpes) I get outbreaks on my chin, neck, ears, nose, mouth, lips, cheeks, and eyes. I have tried EVERYTHING, including ultraviolet treatments, chickenpox innoculations (we’re talking 1970s treatments here) and everything else. Vitamin E applied directly onto a sore gives soothing relief, but only minimal. I DO NOT recommend BLEACH to anyone as it is a toxic POISON. However, after struggling with this virus in all its forms, and trying every combination of foods/drugs/acyclovir/anti viral eye drops/etc., I have FINALLY found a product that works that is NOT TOXIC (after years of Acyclovir use to avoid going blind from eye herpes, I now have kidney problems from the drug). The product I now use is called HPX. I take 2 a day to prevent the virus from occurring. It is made up of selenium, vitamin e, vitamin c, zinc, olive leaf, lysine, and a few other compounds, all natural. You can get it from any holistic physician, or you can just combine these ingredients yourself from a health food store. Periods and stress definitely trigger outbreaks. I have had enormous stress in the past 7 mos, and would have normally had HORRIBLE outbreaks, but since I have been taking this product (less than a year) I HAVENT HAD A SINGLE OUTBREAK or even a single tingle!!!! AMAZING! I highly recommend this vitamin product! Hope this helps everyone - good luck.
i had my first outbreak about 4yrs ago and has had only two outbreaks since then. ive been outbreak free for the last 2yrs! i havent taken anything but willing to try the l-lysine to prevent future outbreaks
i take l-lysine every day and it has helped alot now when i get an outbreak there are no sores only alittle discharge, but thats it. its really helped alot, i have also found that using dial soap on the infected area and air drying helps as well
take one teaspoon of pollen everyday
Whenever I feel an outbreak coming on, I take a 50mil zink tablet and put zink atibiotic ointment on the affected area, this works realy good, my outbreaks, if any even show, only last for a day or two, and very minimal. Ginsing is also very good to add to a daily diet to prevent outbreaks. There is another ointment out there called Melissa officialis that is seposed to be very effective.
monica : is it bathin in clorox bleach ? and adding 15 drops of clorox bleach to the pau d arco tea ?
A diet high in garlic - will keep out breaks in check
I started using tea tree oil mixed with jojoba oil, it really works. I
Do the sores come in the same place all the time. I had a sore in on place then another and then another. Is this normal? I’m freaking out and scared.
Hydrocortizone creme helps to relieve the itch or pain, but I dont think it helps kill the infection.
I used to get outbreaks EVERY month - I was very stressed during this time which may be why. When I would get an outbreak I would put rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol - you can get it at any drug store or supermarket) - The blister would go away in just the matter of a day or two. I would put the rubbing alcohol on it a few times a day. It did burn a little and be careful, rubbing alcohol is not appropriate in some spots.
I was recently diagnosed with HPV also, I began taking a daily multi-vitamin, beta glucan and indole 3 carbinol (all of which are supposed to help the immune system) Since starting on these supplements I have not had an outbreak, nor any signs of an on coming outbreak. I am not sure if it is because of these supplements. But I have been outbreak free for about 3 months.
Best of luck to all of you!
I have some blisters on anus and very uncfortable. What is the fastest way to get rid of them?
i hear amazing things about Lysine
When you feel it coming on use Benadryl creme to block the sensation so you don’t think about it. anxiety brings it on so you can literally will it away. if you get a break out you can dry it out and apply neosporin to heal it quicker.
Olive Leaf Extract if you can mange to drink it (it’s a bit gross for me) So I have used “Ease a Cold” Flu relief tablets with Olive Leaf. CURED!
When the itch begins apply heat to the specific area. This works for all kinds of itches, not just herpes (it absolutely cures tinea for example).
Protect unaffected area first, then apply a jet of hot water (in the shower is an easy way to do this) - it seems to kill the virus in the target area, and the sore quickly heals, especially if treated with some of the products mentioned in this blog, for example Aciclovar.
Caught early enough, the treatment is highly effective and has much lower recurrence rates.
Even more effective, and potentially permanent, is the us of the treatment applied to remove skin keratoses. Freezing and killing the surface tissue might be a permanent cure.
Olive Leaf. Buy it in liquid form, I use the brand HerbFarm, 20-40 drops in a little water 2-3 times a day… This in combination with 1000mg of L-Lysine every day works. I only get an outbreak once every 2-3 years after starting this, compared with once a month before……
When I notice the tinkling, I start taking black walnut, 2 capsules 3 x a day & the outbreak is always less sever & sometimes it prevents the outbreak completely. You can buy this at any health food store.
Is it possible that u can have break outs in the face ?
well i jjust got this i am very hurt by this diagnosis and i am happy that i am not the only one going through this
I am pretty sure I have genital herpes and I have a serious bf that I haven’t told yet I went to the gyno but by the time she could get me in for an appointmment the lesions were gone and she said shethought it was just irritation from my soap but I have had 2 more outbreaks since then…Now what do I do?? I’m so embarrassed I haven’t told ANYONE
I take valtrex. It seems to work but it takes a long time to actually work
the simple way to cure and avoid genital or oral oral herpes is to celibate thats all.
I use moducare, with red marine algae. not another outbreak, and I heard on capsule of Lysol in bathwater kills the herpes.
I take acycolovir 500mg a day only take a 1000mg when I feel I have an outbreak coming on but I haven’t had an outbreak in over two yrs when dx in 2005 I had one once a yr but that was because I was stressing herpes don’t stop ur life I look at it as a chance to educate ppl about protecting themseleves I would also suggest be honest with ur partner because if some one was honest with us we wouldn’t be where we are excerise eat healthy also helps with preventing out breaks n I take other vitamins to
I agree with slapping bleach on it. I mix 1 part bleach to 2 parts water and apply to the infected around with a q-tip or cotton ball. I’ll repeat until I can’t really tolerate it any more, dry the area and apply aloe (I keep a several plants in the house) to the skin I just bleached. I’ll do this morning and night (usually 2 applications does the job) until I’m convinced that the infection is good and dead. Its a little uncomfortable, but not nearly as awful as a full on blister break out. Especially if you’re a female and get them around the time of your cycle. I’m sorry but cycle+itchy blisters=i’d rather off myself. I also changed my diet since being diagnosed and started exercising regularly to help relieve stress. I haven’t had an episode since my first three outbreaks almost 2 years ago. Screw expensive meds and creams.
I must say I am a pretty lucky guy ‘cos I may get an outbreak once every three to four years and when/if that happens, I may not even notice it other than a quick itch. Ever since I started using Hydrogen Peroxide on the blisters, the itching almost instantly goes away. It may burn at first, though a little bit, but it is drying the sores and killing the virus at the root. Continuing to apply Peroxide with a Q-tip over the lesions during the outbreak will eliminate them over time. This simple recipe will relieve you of pain and itching within a few hours. I live a normal life and don’t restrain myself at all. One thing, I eat a well balanced diet and have totally eliminited stress from my life. Sleeping well and drinking a lot of water will help rebalance your health. My last blood tests came inconclusive. The report stated that I have been exposed to the virus. Good luck to all.
Now most people say they rather take herbs…stated from god in the bible HYSSOP purifies the body and PRUNELLA VULGARIS…so take herbs and maybe god blessing will happen…IT MAY BE A CURE because “one” person i read had AIDS took hyssop and they was sent home because they was going to die but HYSSOP keep them alive a little bit longer…ALL I AM SAYING IS LIVE OFF THE EARTH NOT MAN MADE SUBSTANCES ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!
I got them in October 28….. Im scared … How am I suppose to tell my husband this when I get Married… Also.. It just feels nasty…
I am 60 years old and never have had a yeast infection until now. I have been under a lot of stress and I am assuming that is part of the reason I accquired one along with the fact that I took a stong dose of penecillan for another illness. Anyway, I did all the home remedies I read about, went to the doctor and took prescription medicene, it would go away and come right back. I suffered , Itched to bad that I would wake up at night clawing myself to death. I cried and began to give up hope. Then one night I got this idea, If bleach kills bacteria, why not put some in my bath water and soak in it for a while. After the first bath, it only itched for a couple of times, after the second bath, I never had another episode. I could not believer this, so now when i take my bath, i have a little spray bottle of beach in the bathroom, i just squirt a little in my bath water. Of course , I always use lotion all over my body when i get out, but the yeast infection is gone. I hope maybe this will help someone else,
I take 1000mg L-Lysine a day and when the blisters come i dab with a q-tip of rubbing alcohol. Burns like crazy but they dry out QUICK!!!
Herpes
A little Neosporin helps me.
I just got my first outbreak and it hurts really bad and is just one bump. What can I do to get rid of it fast and make it not come back naturally? Thank You for your kind words. I will pray for us all….Cure soon!!!! This goes on not talked about and does not get much attention, but is a serious illness that tons of people don’t even know they have! Stay Blessed!
L-Lysine capsules 1000 mg 3 x per day - Whole Foods

Instead of bathing with harsh chemicals like Clorox (listed above), try Desert Essence brand Australian Tea Tree Oil - Whole Foods. The 1st ingredient is Grain Alchohol. Dab on soars with q-tip (do not put infected q-tip back into bottle).
Try not to wear underwear & clothing that does not touch soars
I took hyperisince and havent had a outbreak in almost 2 years. This is a plant from India. There were reports published that it cured herpes 100% in trials there. Trials were never done in USA
How much does the lysine usualy cost and is it a cream or a pill?
The doctor told me to use dialuted Lysol and take a 1/2 bath 3 times a day. Has anyone ever heard of bathing in Lysol??? it makes me leery!
Sweveral,
Lemon, Teatree oil,
Bathe, Epsom salts or vinagar, or 4 tables spoons clorox.

Wonderful site, thank you my teen is traveling,
with not much moey, all this has helped her !!
this blog is a breath of fresh air. thanks to everyone for their advice and support. . i just got the virus and found out through getting a tattoo, its covered in leisions. i freaked out. and im having to remind myself to relax. …. but the shit iches and it fucked up my tat!!Damn it!! worried that when i get a touch up ill break out again.
I’ve tried all kinds of oils purchased from online sources for genital herpes. Some worked for awhile, but it always came roaring back. I read about oil of melissa and purchased some from a local herb store. A very small bottle is about thirty dollars, but it’s worth it. I use it straight on the lesion, which goes into remission for a long time.The sooner it’s applied to discovering the outbreak, the better. I put a very small dab on my finger tip and apply it ONLY to the lesion- don’t rub it in, as spreading it on surrounding skin will cause a burn and severe irritation, especially when you apply it a couple times a day.
Oil of melissa is used in Germany in a base ingredient, which is probably easier on the skin. Mixing equal amounts with olive or almond oil probably will ease the irritative effect.
There must be a mind-body connection with herpes outbreaks. When I suddenly remember that I haven’t had an outbreak for some time, I get one within six to eight hours, without fail. If anyone has any thoughts about why this happens, post your response!
i take Valtrex (a perscription drug) and i have only had one serious outbreak since being diagnosed. And the only reason i had one was because i ran out of my meds. The benefit of this medicine is high but it is very expensive so not all insurances cover it but there are others that are covered you just have to take more of them in a day because they are a lower dose than valtrex. But any one that has herpes should speak with their doctor because bathing in bleach is extremely dangerous.
I was diagnosed in 2009 have never had a breakout so I didn’t know I had the virus. It doesn’t matter whether you have breakouts or not you are always contagious this is the reason herpes is so widespread.
i have had genital herpes for a number of years…but i guess im luckey cause i never had a lesion on my genitals..instead i get them on mmy upper leg region in a blister like forms….it is very painful, it is very similiar to getting burned…i found that the bleach technique shortens the life of the blisters…
I know for a fact the liquid Dandelion works!!! It removes it completely and when the next visit to the Doctor comes around, you will be told they don’t see a trace. 3 times a day for a month is what was recommended and it really works. The person has been to several different doctors and in the past they were told there was a trace but now are told no trace. they took in a swallow of water and place the droplets in their mouth and swallowed. It comes in a grain of alchol so it goes straight to your system and it is good for regulated cycles, releasing fluid. It works better than the prescribed fluid pills.
Citrumed is a new all natural product and it works great. it normally heals my genital outbreaks within 1-2 days. Google it…..
Does the bleach really work??
campho-phenique works wonders!
First have a bottle of acidophilus capsules ready in the fridge. The instant you feel an outbreak coming on, open a capsule and dab the white powder on the area, you might have to slightly dampen the area to get it to stick. This can be used for genital or on the lip area. Keep a fresh application on the area for 24 hours. It has worked for my husband and me consistently.
The theory is that bacteria keeps viruses in check. Acidophilus is a beneficial bacteria.
i have Anal herpes and it hurts when i get an outbreak.it feels when i seat like i am seating in agolf ball…there is no cure for this and my life sucks
