Something about Herpes Treatment



As I’ve mentioned before there is no cure for herpes. But of course today there are many drugs proved their effectiveness. These medicines could reduce he frequency and duration of herpes outbreaks. But I strongly recommend you to visit specialist. Please don’t take medicines without your doctor consultation!

There are also some advices that could be helpful during an outbreak.
First, keep the infected area clean and dry. Use warm shower if you want. Then dry the area with a hair dryer or towel. As a rule, using different creams isn’t helpful and could lead to irritation. Also consider not to wear tight-fitting undergarments.

Importance of Healthy Immune System

Healthy immune system is a very important thing in herpes treatment. So care for your immunity in order to help your organism fighting with different unpleasant diseases including herpes.
In order to strengthen your immune system you have to sleep and rest enough. Try to avoid stress because it has a very negative influence on immunity.

The right diet is also very important. Fruits, vegetables and foods rich in certain fatty acids may support a healthy immune system.
Some herbs are believed to stimulate the immune system, such as echinacea, ginseng, astragalus, sage, garlic, elderberry, shitake and hyssop. Honey is also very useful product.


Lifestyle makes difference, too. If you spend much time outdoors, make physical exercises and after all enjoy life, your immunity will strengthen without any doubts!


In other words, doing all above mentioned, you can shorten and even prevent herpes outbreaks.
Be happy and healthy!
