subject: Healing Herpes Lesions - 3 Tips to Help You Recover From a Genital Herpes Outbreak [print this page] Dealing with genital herpes and the associated outbreaks and all that goes along with it (the pain, the itching, swelling, rashes, lesions, not to mention the stress and depression that goes along with having a terrible outbreak) is never easy, and if you've had or are currently having an outbreak that just keeps hanging around and doesn't seem to want to heal up, you know just how frustrating and annoying it can be.
For most genital herpes sufferers, an effective method for healing herpes lesions would be some welcome knowledge. In the many years I've lived with and dealt with this nasty virus, I've come across a few natural methods for speeding up the healing process and getting that rash and those blisters under control. I'll share a couple of those with you now.
1. Tea Tree Oil - Tea tree oil is a very powerful antiseptic, and as it is completely natural, its also effective without being harsh on your skin (which of course is very tender during an outbreak). Apply it to your herpes lesions with a cotton bud, or if they are too painful to touch, drop it on with an eyedropper. You'll see those blisters healing up in double time if you can do this twice or three times a day.
2. Epsom Salt Baths - Bath in a warm bath with two cups of Epsom salts. This mixture cleans and sterilizes herpes lesions, and the natural minerals speed up the healing process.
3. L-Lysine - Start dosing two or three times a day with a natural L-Lysine supplement. L-Lysine is an incredibly powerful virus buster, and is one of the most effective non-topical methods of healing herpes lesions. Additionally, taking L-Lysine daily can reduce the amount and frequency of your outbreaks, and may help you prevent a herpes outbreak all together.
