How Do I eliminate my Herpes?

You may be thinking about what you can do to eliminate your herpes. Currently, there is no known cure for herpes. The virus will stay in your body, but it is most often in a passive, or in a docile state and may reactivate from time to time and may cause symptoms. However there are both natural and prescription treatments available that offer relief to most sufferers.

Because the herpes virus stays in your body, you may have repeat outbreaks after your first outbreak. No one can tell you how often you are going to have outbreaks or how severe they are going to be, but the first may be the worst outbreak you ever have. Only time will tell. In general, the amount and severity of outbreaks lessen over time

Prescription drugs called antiviral agents can help minimize symptoms, heal sores and even help prevent outbreaks before they happen. So if you are having symptoms you may wish to ask your physician about treatment. If you do not feel comfortable talking to your physician, there are healthcare providers at STD clinics who can prescribe treatment. Test topical alternatives: For symptom relief and faster healing, try ointments containing zinc, lithium succinate, propolis, lemon balm, or aloe

Try lysine: Taking 1,000 mg a day of this amino acid supplement may boost the healing process and help prevent future outbreaks

Use condoms for added protection when having sex

Protect your companion: Avoid sexual contact during active infections to prevent infecting others

Other vitamins, herbs, and dietary and lifestyle changes that may be helpful.
