Natural Cures For Herpes To Use In Your Treatment

There are many different kinds of herpes viruses and several illnesses caused by them.

Illnesses caused by herpes include shingles, cold sores, genital herpes, chickenpox, shingles, and bell’s palsy. Some serious illnesses may be caused by the herpes virus too.

If you have a serious herpes infection or need to be diagnosed, see a health care provider. However, if you know what you have and want to include home remedies in your treatment plan, consider adopting the following methods.

As part of a holistic treatment plan, natural remedies prevent outbreaks, diminish pain, and promote healing. Here are some of the most effective home remedies for herpes which you can begin implementing right now.

Take Your Vitamins

Take a high quality multivitamin and multimineral supplement daily. Purchase products which contain natural vitamin A with mixed carotenoids.

Multivitamins with extra vitamin B complex are beneficial. The B vitamins help your body cope with physical and emotional stress. This way you will not get run down. When you are run down, you are more susceptible to contracting infections, including herpes infections.

Check your multivitamin to see how much vitamin C it contains. You may need supplemental vitamin C in addition to your regular multivitamin. Aim for one gram, which is one thousand milligrams, daily to prevent herpes infections. If you have an infection, take up to three grams of vitamin C each day.

Supplements which contain bioflavonoids are excellent choices as they provide healing benefits in addition to the vitamin C.

Consider taking a rosehip supplement or drinking rosehip tea. Rosehips contain about fifty times the amount of vitamin C contained in an equal size piece of an orange.

Food Science of Vermont and Schiff manufacture good quality vitamins.

Prevent the Virus from Reproducing

The herpes virus uses arginine to reproduce itself. Arginine is an amino acid which is found in some proteins. Avoiding arginine rich foods starves the virus so it cannot reproduce. It then dies and cannot make you sick. Foods highest in arginine include nuts, soy, gelatin and chocolate.

Take one to one and one half grams of L-lysine daily. L- lysine interferes with the herpes virus’ abilities to use arginine to reproduce. Take L-lysine on an empty stomach with organic unsweetened grape juice for maximum effect. Not eating for at least one hour after taking the supplement is best; however, if you must eat, avoid dairy products completely for at least one hour.

The vitamin B in your supplement helps prevent the herpes virus from spreading too.
