subject: Genital Herpes Natural Cures [print this page] Genital herpes natural cures can effectively reduce or eliminate the occurrence of outbreaks, and also reduce the severity of outbreaks when they do occur.
While no treatment, natural or otherwise, will get rid of herpes completely (the virus stays in the body forever, even when dormant and not active), natural treatments are very effective, and with some experimentation (everyone is different, and some people will respond differently to some treatments than others) you can find the right natural treatment or combination of treatments that can stop or drastically reduce outbreaks, and get you living your old life again.
Natural cures for genital herpes are equally effective on genital herpes male symptoms and female symptoms. Some of the genital herpes natural cures you can try include:
Lysine
Lysine is an amino acid commonly found in high protein foods and in grains. Lysine has been shown in clinical trials to reduce the occurrence of herpes outbreaks and to reduce their severity. Patients reported that with regular dosage over the long term, symptoms of herpes were reduced and outbreaks became less and less frequent.
Zinc
Zinc has also been shown to reduce outbreaks and cut outbreak duration down significantly when they do occur. Zinc stops the herpes virus from replicating, and regular dosage can reduce the amount of outbreaks occurring. Applying zinc topically to herpes blisters also helps reduce the duration of the outbreak.
Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera has a very strong antiviral effect, and recent research has shown the immune boosting quality of Aloe can be a very effective genital herpes natural cure.
These are just some of the natural treatments you can try for genital herpes. These can be bought separately online or in health food stores, or you can get a combination these ingredients in a homeopathic genital herpes treatment.
