Nutritional supplements for genital herpes relief

Genital herpes is a recurrent, incurable sexually transmitted disease. It caused by one of two types of the herpes simplex virus (HSV): HSV type-I or HSV type-2. Persons infected with HSV remain infected for life and can transmit the virus to others during vaginal, anal, or oral sex.

The best defense against genital herpes outbreaks is a healthy and stress-free lifestyle.
There are also several herbal and natural treatments for genital herpes.

Lysine

Some researchers believe that the balance of arginine and lysine in your body plays a role in treating the painful genital blisters and cold sores caused by the herpes virus. Lysine is an amino acid. It is an essential amino acid in the sense that our body does not make it. Food such as vegetables, fish and dairy products are rich in Lysine.

Vitamins

Vitamin C and Bioflavonoids
Supplements with vitamin C may have therapeutic value in the treatment of recurrent external genital herpes virus.

Vitamin E

Applying topical vitamin E oil to a lesion may provide pain relief.

Zinc

A number of zinc salts have been shown to have antiviral activity against genital herpes virus. In vitro and animal studies have supported use of zinc topically with genital infection. Supplementation with zinc has been observed to reduce the frequency, duration, and severity of genital herpes eruptions.

Lemon Balm (Melissa)

Lemon balm ointments have been used topically in Germany for oral cold sores, and products are now available in the United States. Some study has shown that when the lemon balm cream was used on patients with an initial oral herpes infection, or cold sore, not a single recurrence occurred. Not one patient using the cream developed another cold sore. The cream was also shown to be effective in reducing the healing time in cases of genital herpes.

Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera is a cactus, and the gelatinous substance inside the leaf is known to have many beneficial properties. Some research shows some effects for the herpes virus, and mucosal epithelial tissue appears to be a good site for the medicinal effects of aloe. In vitro data suggests that chemical constituents of Aloe Vera inactivate HSV-2 both alone and synergistically with acyclovir.

Herpeset Genital Herpes Relief

Homeopathic doctors have been using the separate ingredients in Herpeset™ to treat single symptoms of oral and genital herpes for decades, but our experts in homeopathy have chosen a blend of these natural ingredients to help relieve a wider variety of symptoms in one, easy-to-use spray application.

FACTS ABOUT GENITAL HERPES:

  • One of the worst foods if infected with herpes virus is peanut butter because it has high content of arginine – an amino acid that exacerbates the outbreak of the herpes.
  • Many people do observe an increased susceptibility to outbreaks of genital herpes if they eat chocolate or peanuts, foods that are high in arginine.
