Genital herpes outbreaks usually happen within 7 to 10 days causing intense itching, burning blisters, and sores. To help reduce the occurrence of genital herpes outbreaks, become aware of all herpes symptoms, try using a number of these following natural solutions and also research oral herpes treatments. Taking these alternative treatments does not mean avoiding necessary or current medication. Try these treatments along with the medication.
To effectively reduce genital herpes outbreaks take Lysine but be sure to follow the amount of recommended usage. Take 500 mg capsules of Lysine four times a day during the first three days of the outbreak. For the next four days, take 500 mg three times a day, then 500 mgs once a day for two weeks, and then take 500 mg three times a week for two weeks. The amino acid in lysine helps to control the symptoms of genital herpes. Lysine works best if you take it everyday and before and after an outbreak.
Avoid arginine, which promotes the herpes virus and its outbreaks and symptoms. Before and during an outbreak avoid taking any foods rich in arginine, such as whole-wheat, products, brown rice, oatmeal, chocolate, corn, dairy, raisins, nuts, and seeds. To help eliminate the outbreak of sores, try using some olive leaf extract, which works great to reduce and even prevent outbreaks if taken daily.
