To aid healing, wash the area affected by herpes lesions with an infusion of lemon balm, which has antiviral properties. To make the infusion, steep 2 to 3 teaspoons finely cut fresh or dried leaves in 1/2 cup boiling water(Types of Water Pollution) for 20 to 30 minutes; stram the mixture. Saturate a clean cloth with the solution and apply to the herpes lesions several times a day.

St John’s wort and echinacea are also beneficial for their anti-herpes activity and immune-stimulating properties. (Caution: Do not use St John’s wort in conjunction with antidepressants. St John’s wort may act as a mild monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI); consult your health care provider regarding potential dietary and medication restrictions.) Other herbs that may soothe symptoms and assist healing include cayenne (take in capsule form or apply oil), goldenseal, and licorice root (Cautions: Don’t take golden seal or licorice for more than a week at a time. Avoid goldenseal if you are allergic to ragweed; avoid licorice if you have high blood pressure.)

Homeopathy

Genital herpes may respond to homeopathic treatment However, the selection of a home remedy - more than one is available-depends on your symptoms and the stage of the condition. Don’t try treating this disorder yourself. See a homeopathic professional.

Hydrotherapy

Sitz baths in warm saline (salt) water can lessen the itching and burning that accompanies an outbreak of herpes. If heat aggravates the condition, use a neutral (slightly lower than body temperature) or a brief cool bath. You also can apply a cool compress to the inflamed area.

Traditional Chinese Medicine

Acupuncture Acupuncture can be used to promote relaxation and lessen anxiety, which can reduce recurrent herpes outbreaks (stress is the main factor in recurrent eruptions). It also can be used to strengthen the immune system, which can lessen the frequency and severity of outbreaks.

Acupressure As with acupuncture, this modality can be very effective in reducing stress and promoting feelings of well-being, which can deter herpes outbreaks.

Chinese Herbal Therapy This condition treated as a damp-heat syndrome with formulas such as Gentlana Formula.
