I got off birth control and starting using raspberry leaf extract ( or raspberry leaf tea) and I don't have breakouts even before my period anymore unless I am sick and immune system is really down. I believe the raspberry leaf extract is supposed to correct any out of balance hormones, estrogen, testosterone, etc., so that may help and it doesn't taste bad if you make a tea with it. I order from Mountainrose herbs online.
Hope it helps..
Thanks for responses.
i got diagnosed with both actually. I ended my marriage whenwhen i found out my ex had a fling. He said it was nothing although it left him and me in turn with HSV. I barely have outbrakes on my lips... i have used an acyclovir cream when I had tingling sensation on my lips...but I feel genital herpes is so much harder to deal with. I have not used lysine or MMelissa. i will definitely get some. Thx.
First, the things you tried were antibacterial, not antiviral. No surprise they didn't work. And you don't mention, at least here, where the virus is -- cold sores? Or elsewhere? The main things used for this virus in the natural realm are lemon balm (melissa) and lysine, which you don't mention trying. Don't know anything about nosodes, so can't help you there.
Avoid foods rich in the amino acid arginine, which can activate the virus. These include chocolate, cola, beer, grain cereals, chicken soup, gelatin, seeds, nuts and peas.
Get a new toothbrush after an outbreak subsides. The virus can live in your toothbrush and re-infect you. Also, help prevent the virus from getting into the toothpaste (and re-infecting you and others in the family) by not touching the brush to the tube.
Always use SPF 15 sunscreen before going out in the sun (summer and winter) and use a lip moisturizer with sunscreen.
Since the HSV is highly contagious, don't kiss or shake hands with anyone who has a cold sore.
Keep your hands clean by washing them frequently.
Avoid sharing towels and utensils with anyone who has a cold sore.
Try L-lysine, an amino acid that reduces the frequency of cold sores in some people. Take 500-1,000 milligrams a day on an empty stomach. It is more effective if you minimize consumption of seeds, nuts, peas, and chocolate.
Try BIO-TECH HPX 100 Capsules google it!
Also try an ointment containing glycyrrhetinic acid from licorice helps relieve pain from herpes sores and makes them go away more rapidly. -
