How To Get Rid Of Oral
Herpes Using Natural Remedies
Oral
herpes is caused by a virus called HSV or herpes simplex virus. Its causes sores on the inside of the mouth that look like
cold or canker sores. There is a difference between oral herpes, which is
caused by HSV2 & and cold sores which is caused by HSV1, although, they do
look like each other. However, herpes are not cold or canker sores.
Cold
sores are not contagious, although technically cold sores are due to the herpes simplex virus. Cold sore are
normally only around the outside of the mouth, while herpes can develop on the
lips, inside the cheeks and gums, the tongue and the roof of your mouth. Herpes
are caused by a virus that will always remain in your body. Traditional
medication has not developed a cure for oral herpes, but you can stop or slow
down the outbreaks.
How
to get rid of oral herpes is an ongoing problem for a large percentage of the
world’s population who have oral herpes. The condition is very contagious when
they are in the blister stage. Oral herpes can be passed from person to person and in many cases you won’t even
know you have them until you have an outbreak.
An
outbreak can occur when your immune system is compromised; you have extreme
physical or emotional stress, a fever, or even hormone change. How you get rid
of an outbreak of herpes is to strengthen your immune systems. Living off of
junk food will only bring on an attack. Changing your eating habits is one of
the fastest ways of controlling herpes outbreaks.
Oral
Herpes is called an STD or sexually transmitted disease since you can pass on
the herpes virus to your partner. Oral sex will pass on the virus to the other
person who will then have a case of genital herpes. You can pass them to your own genitals if you don’t take
care when you have an outbreak. You’ll have the same sores on your genitals as
you do on your mouth.
You
can take antipyretic and pain killers but they won’t help with the outbreak.
They might even stress the body more, so the outbreak lasts longer. It depends
on how your body reacts to drugs. Drink plenty of water and use aesthetics on
the sore to reduce the pain. Salt water rinses will help dry the blisters up.
There
are two herbs that have been proven to work with an outbreak of herpes. The
reports on both these herbs show they work well to stem the length of the
outbreak.
One
is lemon balm made into a cream or you can use it as a tincture.
The
other herb is called self heal flower. The name says is all! Make a tea with
the flowers. Keep the immune system strong, keep your stress level down, and
you won’t have as many outbreaks of the herpes virus.
