Having sex, even just oral sex, can get you infected with genital herpes. The primary infection is a first stage of a herpes outbreak. The first stage includes 10-14 days of flu, and maybe a couple of painful blisters located in the area of genitals or anus, and with women, a vaginal discharge.
After the first stage, infection often comes back after treatment, but there are still people who never get another symptom of genital herpes ever, even if the virus still sleeps in the body. 4 out of 5 people have herpes virus but do not know about it, because the symptoms are light and spread without knowledge. Whether the symptoms are visible or not, the virus may not be present. There is only a 1 out of 10 chance of transmitting it.
According to some doctors, 1 out of 10 people are having genital herpes virus. Genital herpes is something not discussed openly, and those having it are ashamed, isolated, or frustrated. But for those who are getting desperate, it is important to know that there is the right combination of herbs and amount of nutrition that actually can reverse genital herpes.
Genital Herpes Natural Cures
Some doctors would claim that genital herpes there is no cure and knowledge of having it can lower self-esteem in person. Unprotected sex is always a problem, no matter if symptoms are present or not. And the virus in one partner can seriously ruin the one’s relationship. Even if the condition is a chronic illness, just like HIV, there are no public support groups.
Genital herpes isolates people. There is not much knowledge about genital herpes, in general. Even if genital herpes has no cure, it is also known that there are herbal medicines that can reverse the process; such herbs are antiviral and are:
- una de gato or Cat's Claw,
- pansy galangal,
- astragalus,
- lapacho,
- myrrh,
- ligustrum. /p>
Thyme, Cayenne, or Licorice are all herbs that fight the herpes virus. Reishi, for instance, is a slice of mushroom that is antiviral and empowers an immune system. Lysine is an amino acid that controls and prevents herpes. Thuja in cream or propolis treats the skin and calms irritation on the surface where the blisters are and fights herpes.
- HSV are categorized into 2 types: type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2), which share >80% amino acid similarity. Both types can cause oral and genital lesions, although HSV-1 mainly causes infection in or around the mouth (herpes labalis), and HSV-2 mainly causes infection in the genital or anal region (herpes genitalis).
- HSV-2 is the leading cause of genital ulcer disease worldwide and also causes neonatal herpes, which is transmitted vertically from mother to newborn during birth. According to 2012 data, the World Health Organization estimates the prevalence of HSV-1 and HSV-2 in the Americas to be 40-50% and 14%, respectively.
- The effect of Melaleuca alternifolia oil gel on recurrent herpes labialis was studied via a randomized, placebo-controlled, investigator-blinded trial conducted by Carson et al. Participants were not blinded to their treatment due to the unique smell of M. alternifolia oil, and 20 participants with a history of recurrent herpes labialis were recruited. Treatment was either a 6% M. alternifolia oil aqueous gel or placebo gel. Participants were instructed to apply the gel 5 times daily as close to onset of infection as possible. Those treated with M. alternifolia oil gel had a shorter duration of infection (9 days) compared to participants treated with placebo (12.5 days), and the viral load present in lesions was lower in those treated with M. alternifolia oil gel than with placebo.
- Two human trials, carried out by Wolbling et al., demonstrated the antiviral effects of Melissa officinalis on HSV lesions. Lomaherpan cream containing 1% dried extract of M. officinalis was tested. The first trial tested the cream on HSV lesions without the use of a placebo-control group. The trial was conducted at 3 dermatology clinics on a total of 115 patients with HSV lesions of the skin or transitional mucosa for not more than 72 hours. The second trial was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 116 patients with HSV lesions with the same inclusion criteria as the trial before. The trial provided evidence for the use of M. officinalis as a treatment for HSV lesions. The antiviral effect was found to be most significant if treatment was commenced as early as possible during the course of infection.
- The efficacy of Echinacea purpurea at reducing the frequency and severity of herpes genitalis was studied by Vonau et al. using a placebo-controlled, double blind, crossover trial with 50 participants. There was no significant difference found between E. purpurea or placebo at preventing or reducing the frequency of recurrence of herpes genitalis. Additionally, there were no significant differences between pain scores, duration of infection, or neutrophil count between placebo or extract.
