Is there any natural treatment for herpes?

I got herpes a few months ago from a guy who apparently did not know he had it. I felt horrified, angry, and depressed. The first ob was really painful and uncomfortable.  I bought a test online which tested positive for genital herpes type HSV-1. I want to find natural herpes treatment.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

So you were only diagnosed through blood test? How much time since symptoms did you wait to get the test?
If you want you can post your results here so we can take a look.

Grace will surely give her input on natural herpes treatment. But you can answer such questions in the meantime.

what kind of testing did you buy online and use?

there are lots of otc treatments you can use for pain and itch relief for herpes lesions but if you want to prevent them then you need to use prescription antivirals. make sense?

hsv1 genitally doesn't reoccur very often anyways. recurrences should be few and far between if that's what you truly have.

I know how you feel, but confused not, because I too, have herpes and like natural treatment best. I’ve been using hsv-zero for few months now and happy with it. It contains like a dozen of natural plants extracts which already tested and proven to be effective for herpes.

there are no plant extracts that have been tested and proven to be effective for herpes.

just because a website says it works, doesn't mean it does.  at the price they are charging for their products, you can use generic acyclovir for $4 an ob or $10/month suppressive therapy and get proven reduction in recurrences as well as viral shedding which is most effective in reducing transmission to a partner.
