Genital Herpes -
Homeopathic Treatment Considerations

Genital herpes is caused by one of the Herpes simplex viruses (HSV). The two strains of this virus HSV-1 and HSV-2 can both cause genital herpes, but HSV-1 is more frequently found in cold sores on the lips and face, from where it can cause genital sores after oral-genital contact.

Genital herpes has been treated by homeopathy.

Genital herpes requires detailed specific prescribing of the "right" homeopathic remedy.

Trial and error or shotgun prescribing does not work, and therefore we don't recommend self-medication. In fact, self-medication will complicate the overall symptom picture.

Below are only some of the remedies we may prescribe, please note how important the individual symptom picture is. Only when all symptoms, aggravation or amelioration are taken into consideration can a specific homeopathic remedy be selected. A further consideration is given to the potency of the remedy.

Homeopathic Treatment Considerations:

Apis mellifica - Burning stinging pain is relieved by cold applications. Pinkish local swelling (similar to the swelling around a bee sting) occurs.
Arsenicum album - Burning pain is much relieved by warm applications. A feeling of restlessness is present.
Borax - Very sensitive lesions that feel hot and bleed easily.
Petroleum - Lesions on genitals spreading to anus and thighs. Continual scratching tears skin which in turn may become infected.
