Effective treatment of herpes at home depends on the type of virus and includes both the use of pharmaceutical medications and various traditional methods. Although there is no means to completely rid the body of the herpes virus, it is possible to suppress the symptoms of infection and the replication of the virus, which can improve the patient’s quality of life.
Effective home treatment for herpes depends on the type of virus.
Methods of transmission of the disease
The main, and perhaps the only source of infection is a sick person, that is, its carrier. It has been scientifically proven that one milliliter of fluid flowing from a herpetic vesicle contains up to one million viral particles.
There are several ways of infection, namely:
- Airborne transmission : coughing, sneezing, talking, kissing. Infection can occur through direct contact with a sick person and direct, that is, use of his personal belongings.
- During sexual intercourse . Even a condom is not one hundred percent protection against the disease, because contact with the body of a sick person can occur.
- Transfusion route - through blood transfusion. Today, the transfer method is rare, and all because all safety rules are followed.
Children can become infected from their sick mother while they are in the womb or during labor.
The infection is considered contagious and is transmitted just like any other viral infection. A small amount of viral particles received from a sick person is enough for infection to occur.
In the photo you can see exactly how herpes develops.
Beginning of the disease
Symptoms of the disease
The main symptom that distinguishes herpes from other diseases is the formation of blisters with liquid inside. After infection and the formation of the first symptoms, a person may experience itching or burning. It all depends on where on the body the virus is localized.
Three parts of the body are often affected, so symptoms may include:
- Herpes on the lips. Most often, symptoms are localized on the skin around the mouth or on the lips themselves. The bubbles that appear may disappear after a few days. The problem area most often becomes covered with a crust, which will remain on the lips for several more days. Under no circumstances should you tear it off or injure it. Such actions could provoke a new outbreak of the disease. That is why you should refrain from even basic touches of herpes.
- Herpes around the eyes. As practice shows, more often than not one, but both eyes are affected. This happens due to scratching or touching with dirty hands. Of all the varieties of herpes, this is considered the most unpleasant. Patients feel pain, vision becomes blurred, and there is a feeling of sand in the eyes.
- Herpes on the skin of the face. Symptoms of the disease may be present on the skin of the face. This usually occurs because the skin is damaged, there are abrasions, scratches or cuts. The favorite place for symptoms to appear is the nose, earlobes, cheeks, and forehead.
Stage-by-stage development of the disease
Sometimes the disease proceeds calmly, but some patients experience unpleasant symptoms:
- body temperature rises;
- there is nausea and dizziness;
- feeling of pain in the muscles and head;
- lymph nodes increase in size.
In all other cases, there are no symptoms of the disease other than the appearance of a rash. This is what can explain the fact that most patients treat the problem negligently.
Prevention of relapse and protection against infection
Most methods of preventing herpes today are a kind of sedative. A person will encounter the herpes simplex virus in any case, but at certain points in life - during severe treatment of certain diseases, with a severe weakening of the immune system or the risk of complications - one should protect oneself from herpes viruses as diligently as possible.
For such protection, the most effective methods are:
- special vaccination. Even in the CCCP, an attempt was made to create such vaccines, but the real effect has so far been achieved by the Americans - it was in the States that the Gerpevac vaccine was developed, which with a fairly high reliability (about 73%) protects women from infection with genital herpes. There is no such vaccine for men today, and even according to the most optimistic forecasts, a more or less reliable vaccine against herpes will be developed no earlier than in 10-15 years. But Gerpevac can be used now;
- Compliance with the basic principles of hygiene: the presence of separate individual utensils and personal hygiene products, diligent washing of food and any products purchased at markets, the absence of bad habits. But, for example, biting your nails and drinking beer from a common container are practically guaranteed ways to become infected with herpes at one “wonderful moment”;
- Observe strict hygiene rules when handling a small child. Until a certain age, he retains immunity transmitted from his mother. However, if the mother herself has not been infected with herpes, the baby can become infected literally in the very first days after birth. Therefore, it is very important to exclude close contact with any strangers, feed him with mother’s milk for as long as possible and ensure good ventilation of the children’s room and washing of clothes. If the mother is a carrier of herpes, then at the first signs of relapse of the disease, she must wear a cotton-gauze bandage and gloves when feeding and swaddling the child. Fortunately, this is only required during a relapse;
- Use of contraceptives and special drugs such as Miramistin, avoidance of promiscuous sex life;
- Maintaining immunity at a high level. This includes proper nutrition, physical activity, and hardening of the body;
- Avoiding close contact with patients, especially in the relapse phase. This does not mean that you should avoid them altogether, but you shouldn’t smoke one cigarette between two people either.
And returning to the children's topic, let us recall that starting from six months of age, a child becomes susceptible to herpes. If infected, the disease will be quite severe and will require great effort to fight it. Therefore, you should already have the necessary theoretical preparation ready by this time.
Treatment with medicinal herbs
It is indeed possible to treat herpes at home and there are many ways to do this. Important! Many medicinal herbs can be poisonous, which is why you should carefully follow the instructions and monitor your body's reaction.
It is recommended to apply any medications with a cotton swab

Echinacea against herpes

Drink a spoonful of this medicine three times a day. Thus, you can cope with the symptoms of the disease much faster.
Licorice root treatment
Treatment of herpes at home can be done with licorice. The drug is effective because it contains glycyrrhizin. Just like chamomile, you can make tea from licorice.
For a glass of hot water, it is enough to take two spoons of raw material. But unlike chamomile, drinking this drink is often prohibited. Limit yourself to two to three glasses a day.
Licorice root treatment
In large doses, licorice root cannot be beneficial, but can lead to poisoning of the body.
Important! Pregnant women and people with kidney failure should not undergo this treatment.
Tansy for herpes
The medicinal plant acts on the virus from the inside. It is recommended to use fresh herbs to prepare the medicine. Eat a few flowers before breakfast. The duration of treatment is two weeks, this time is enough for the symptoms of the disease to disappear.
An alternative treatment option is a decoction made from tansy with your own hands. It can be made at any time of the year; dry raw materials are used. Pour hot water over two tablespoons of the plant and cook for ten minutes. Let it brew for a while, then drink three sips a day.

White wormwood
Many suffer from herpes in the winter season, relapses occur almost every month. White wormwood can be used to treat and prevent recurrence of the disease. It is enough to brew dry herbs and drink it instead of tea.
The first appearance. Blisters and crusts on the lips
A small itchy rash on the skin of the lips and mucous membranes with blisters filled with liquid is the result of the activity of the herpes virus. Bursting, the bubbles form crusts that become irritated with every touch. This situation is usually associated with hypothermia and activation of the virus already present in the body.
It’s even worse if the herpes “moved” into the oral cavity, which is fraught with excruciating pain that complicates the processes of chewing and swallowing, the impossibility of normal dental care, and unpleasant sensations when talking.
What to do
Try to ensure that the infection does not spread over the entire surface of the lips, but is limited to one or two points. To do this, leave the sore spot dry when washing, try not to lick your lips.
An antiherpes pencil or antiviral ointment will help shorten the period of suffering.
If herpes has settled in the oral cavity, you will have to eat liquid food for some time, do medicinal rinses and undergo a course of treatment under the supervision of an experienced dentist.
Also make sure that your family does not become infected with the virus from you - use individual towels and utensils.

Differences between herpes symptoms and other diseases
Infection in men or women manifests itself in the blood in exactly the same way. Exacerbation of viral pathology allows you to immediately determine the type of herpes. The symptoms on the patient’s body are painful, and the rash itself causes a lot of discomfort. The simple form of herpes is often confused with the symptoms of other infectious diseases. Everyone should know what signs an infection is determined by, what distinguishes it from syphilis and other diseases.
A “simple type of human herpes virus” can be diagnosed and such a disease can be distinguished from chickenpox (or herpes zoster) by the severity of the pathology. This disease is much easier to bear than the one indicated. It lasts 2.5 times less than, for example, chicken pox.
In addition, if you characterize the type of rash with smallpox and herpes, the difference will become obvious. In the case of the shingles type of virus, extensive areas of rashes are formed, and the pimples are larger. In both cases, serous exudate is present inside the vesicles. But with chickenpox, it has an unpleasant, pungent odor, chills and pain are clearly felt.

Dangerous tenant
The herpes virus can live in different cells and organs for many years without showing itself in any way, and only then comes out.
If you've ever had chickenpox, there's no question where it came from: chickenpox and herpes are caused by the same virus. It could also be that you suffered from herpes simplex in a subtle and non-painful form. The herpes virus, once settled in the body, can peacefully coexist with it without causing any trouble. It penetrates cells, is stored in a “preserved form” and may not give any signals for years. However, stress overload, hypothermia, a weakened immune system, and the release of hormones can lead to its activation: the virus begins to rapidly multiply, producing more and more new viral particles.
Prevention of herpes
When applying preventive measures, remember that healthy people extremely rarely experience the appearance of herpes. First of all, it is recommended to harden the body, because in this way the body’s defenses increase.
If possible, play sports, because as they say, a healthy mind in a healthy body. Naturally, you don’t have to go to the gym every day; jogging sometimes is enough. After some time, you will notice that the incidence of colds is decreasing.
The main prevention is strong immunity
Avoid bad habits, as they can weaken your immune system. Equally important is a balanced diet. The body will function correctly only if it receives a sufficient amount of vitamins and nutrients.
Despite the fact that herpes is an unpleasant and dangerous disease, you can easily get rid of it and, as you can see, there are many methods for this.
Allergic herpes and pregnancy
Blistering rashes during pregnancy are a dangerous condition that should not be ignored. An allergic rash creates favorable conditions for the child to also develop a tendency to allergies after birth. Such an allergen is not good for a child’s body, and even in adulthood it becomes a prerequisite for the exacerbation of more serious diseases.
An infectious rash during pregnancy is fraught with mutations and genetic disorders of the fetus in the prenatal period. A child may be born with incurable diseases, external deformities, and extensive pathologies. Chickenpox, measles and rubella are especially dangerous during pregnancy. After diagnosing one of the diagnoses, doctors recommend that the expectant mother have an abortion and not give birth to a sick child.
To avoid such complications, it is important to take preventive measures when planning pregnancy. In addition to strengthening the immune system using generally available methods, routine vaccination will not be superfluous. Since herpetic infections vary in type, the issue of preventive vaccinations must be discussed individually with the gynecologist leading the pregnancy.
Frequently asked questions to the doctor
Genital herpes
How can genital herpes be cured?
Treatment should begin with consultation with the attending physician - only a doctor can make an accurate diagnosis. The patient's condition, individual characteristics, and contraindications should be assessed. For treatment, antiviral agents are prescribed, as well as drugs to enhance immunity.
Zovirax for treatment
I am treating herpes on my lips with Zovirax, tell me, is it necessary to wash off the medicine before eating?
Zovirax is an absolutely safe medicine; there is no need to wash it off before eating.
Causes of the disease
The infection manifests itself in women and men and appears as a rash. Although this is not the only type of symptoms that are inherent in viral pathology. Herpes infection has multifaceted symptoms. Therefore, it is quite simple to guess that it is herpes and not something else. The smell, appearance, pain, color and size of the rash are all optimal indicators with which you can determine the disease.
The virus, which actively reproduces in the human body, could get there in various ways. The most common of them is contact.
At the same time, for a long time it may not make itself known in any way until the immune system fails in the body. The infection can appear in different parts of the body.
The progression of the disease begins with the following symptoms:
- general malaise;
- slight tingling on the lips (if the vesicle should appear there);
- itching and burning sensation;
- chills;
- weakness;
- increase in body temperature.
Know the enemy by sight
Herpes or herpetic virus is a serious disease, which, according to the latest data from scientists, infects about 90% of the entire population of the planet. Due to its structure, the disease is transmitted with lightning speed from a sick person to a healthy person, and can cause a lot of troubles and serious pathologies of internal organs. About 100 types of herpes are known to humanity, 8 of them are found in humans. The cause of all misfortunes is the herpes simplex virus type 1 or 2. As a rule, the disease is “located” on the lips and genitals of men and women. However, there is another manifestation of herpes infection - herpes zoster, caused by herpes type 3. This is what the herpes simplex virus looks like under a microscope.
What is typical for an infection, having entered the body once, it settles in it for the rest of its life, and can cause a lot of diseases or never “show up” outside. The types of viruses are so similar to each other that it is almost impossible to distinguish them, even using a microscope. Therefore, to determine the type of herpes, you need to take specific blood tests. Only with the presence of a number of antibodies is it possible to identify the type of virus.
At temperatures above 37 degrees, the virus can only survive for about 20 hours. In nature, a microorganism is capable of maintaining its activity for several hours, for example, on money, handles, remote controls, doors, taps, etc. The modern herpes virus is highly resistant to antiviral agents and has atypical symptoms. This is why the disease is becoming more and more dangerous and takes very unexpected turns when diagnosed.
Virus in children
Children often become infected with herpes. First of all, they suffer from unpleasant sensations in the area of rashes, fatigue and poor health.
Often, in children, the rash lasts much longer, since they necessarily scratch the lesions, injuring the skin and causing further spread of the rash.
Chickenpox is easier to treat in children, despite chills and weakness with fever.
Also, sometimes herpes rash is confused with rubella. The difference is simple: if you press on the herpes, it will turn pale.
It is extremely important to promptly cure herpes in a child, since otherwise various complications may develop: sore throat, hepatitis or stomatitis, viral encephalitis and even cerebral palsy. After all, the virus can depress the nervous system.
