A lot of
research is being done to find natural ways to cure Herpes. Herpes was
previously considered to be difficult to manage, because the virus lay hidden
from the immune system and attacked when immunity was low, thus bringing about
recurrent outbreaks.
Herpes
is a viral infection caused by herpes virus. There are 8 different types of
herpes virus but the most common are HSV 1 and HSV 2. It affects both men and
women equally.
SIGNS
AND SYMPTOMS:
- · There are blisters or cluster of blisters in the affected area accompanied by pain and itching.
- · The herpes simples virus causes oral and genital sores and fever blisters whereas herpes zoster causes shingles.
- · Once infected the virus remains in the dormant state and gets re-activated frequently.
CAUSES
OF HERPES:
- · Direct contact with a person having an active lesion or sharing personal items with them.
- · Exposure to infected saliva, vaginal fluid or fluid from the blisters.
- · Sexual relationship with the affected individual or having multiple partners.
DIAGNOSIS:
It can
be diagnosed purely on the basis of clinical examination of the blisters.
Blood
tests for herpes specific antibodies can be done for confirmation.
HERPES
TREATMENT
Although
everyone believes that no cure or treatment is available for Herpes, antiviral
medicines
may help to treat symptoms and shorten the duration of outbreaks. However,
after
some time, the Herpes virus becomes resistant to anti-viral medication and
slowly
your body
stops responding. Anti-viral medications may also damage the liver.
NATURAL
TREATMENT FOR HERPES
The
natural therapies for herpes cure when used in combination give good results. The
resonance homeopathic remedy ( H – factor),Ayurvedic herbal formulae (Hypericum
Mysorense) and natural supplements (lysine and monolaurin) are traditionally
believed to work by:
- · Building a herpes specific immunity by providing bioenergetic imprints of herpes virus.
