subject: Relieve Genital Herpes - Dealing with Herpes Outbreaks and The Associated Pain and Itching [print this page] People who have genital herpes, more often than not, live a life of physical and emotional discomfort unless they do something about their situation. While genital herpes is still incurable, the only insufferable part of acquiring this disease is the outbreak so the best remedy for herpes is to prevent the symptoms of an outbreak from manifesting. However, when a person who has the herpes virus does experience the occasional outbreak, the experience is just so traumatic that they would try every possible remedy just to relieve genital herpes. Unfortunately, while many remedies exist, different remedies work better for different people, so a certain degree of trial and error is involved in finding out what works for each individual. So don't give up! A relief for herpes exists for every unique case.
In relieving the awful symptoms of herpes, one can try the following home remedies:
Maintain good hygiene. The best way your body can fight off those virus from attacking and causing a wild rash and sore combo is to practice good hygiene. Take a warm, soothing bath at least twice a day. This will hasten the healing process and will lessen the itchiness and irritation. Pain will eventually wash away if you wash daily. You can even add some Epsom salt to your warm bath water. Epsom salt can flush out the toxic virus and relieve you of pain and swelling.
If after taking a bath you are still not relieved from genital herpes symptoms, then it is best to try applying some ice over the affected area. Take some ice cubes and wrap them in a light towel or gauze and apply it on the areas that are swollen and itchy.
Do not put creams and other ointments that are bought over-the-counter as they may contain ingredients that can exacerbate the whole experience. You can drink Lysine or get a Lysine-based treatment and apply it topically to the affected areas.
Remember that these are just short-term relief from the symptoms of herpes. The only way you can combat the symptoms is to prevent outbreaks from happening by adjusting your lifestyle, diet and medications to herpes combatitive alternatives. This can be achieved by taking daily natural medications, boosting lysine and reducing arganine in the diet, and going under stress management therapies.
