subject: Prevent a Herpes Outbreak - 3 Tips to Help Stop Genital Herpes Outbreaks from Occuring [print this page] Suffering from genital herpes certainly has its ups and downs, but there's really nothing to describe the dread you can feel when you start to get that 'tingling' feeling downstairs, and you just know there's a nasty outbreak just around the corner. In the time I've been living with herpes, I've managed to gather together a few little measures you can take when you feel and outbreak coming on, and maybe even prevent a herpes outbreak from occurring. If you follow these tips, you've got a very good chance of avoiding an outbreak entirely, or if you still catch the outbreak you'll find that it is much less severe and easier to deal with.
1.Start dosing with L-Lysine immediately. Lysine is an amazing herpes battling supplement that you really should be taking daily if you are serious about getting your herpes under control. If you feel the outbreak coming on, immediately take some lysine, and if you are already taking it daily, up your dose to twice or three times a day.
2. Apply some tea tree oil to the area where you most commonly experience outbreaks of sores. Tea tree oil is a natural antiseptic and anti-viral, and is cheap and widely available.
3. Apply ice to the area where you most commonly experience outbreaks of sores or rash immediately as soon as you feel the tingling on an oncoming outbreak. This can be a bit uncomfortable but is very effective in its ability to prevent a herpes outbreak. Ice can also reduce swelling and is a great form of genital herpes pain relief for when outbreaks do occur.
