Homeopathic Medicines For Herpes
Herpes is an infectious disease caused by the ‘Herpes simplex virus.’ Herpes simplex (commonly known as Herpes) is of two types – Herpes type 1(HSV-1) and Herpes type 2(HSV-2). HSV-1 mainly causes oral infections primarily at the mouth, throat, face, and eyes. It is known as Oral Herpes. HSV-2, on the other hand, causes genital infections in both males and females and is known as genital herpes. Homeopathic treatment for herpes includes the management of symptoms as well as the use of certain homeopathic medicines.
Transmission of Virus
Herpes simplex virus gets transmitted via direct contact with body fluids or lesions of an infected person. Symptoms of the infection may or may not appear even after transmission. Genital herpes may be transmitted to an infant during childbirth. Herpes manifests as small blisters, which break down to become raw and painful sores. These sores scab and heal within a few weeks. In many cases, these blisters are accompanied with flu-like symptoms that include fever and swollen lymph nodes. Genital herpes infection is mostly seen as a raw, cracked, red area around the genitals, accompanied with itching and tingling sensations. Small and painful blisters are present all over the genitals in groups.
Advantage of Homeopathic Treatment
Homeopathic treatment for herpes is one of the safest and most natural methods to manage herpes. Homeopathic remedies are restorative in nature, and they work by stimulating the body’s own immune system to respond to the infection. Homeopathic treatment for herpes eradicates the virus by promoting natural healing.
