Natural Herpes Treatment: Emotional Freedom Technique


Can there be a natural herpes treatment with "Emotional Freedom Technique?"

Recently I talked to somebody who had no relapse of genital herpes for more than a year. The strangest part is he has not taken any medicine. The only thing he does different is,  he uses EFT thrice  a day, at least once on his busiest day.

He started with general EFT principles collected form Youtube videos, but presently he is using Brad Yates "Body Beyond Belief."

It is difficult to believe such results, but his unwillingness to talk about things and to keep his things to himself makes me to trust him.

Wondering what is EFT?

EFT Energy Points
The Emotional freedom Technique is a newly emerging technique, which is based on the principle of  "Emotional blockages are the root cause of physical problems." It treats physical and mental problems by gently tapping on Acupuncture energy points.

During the tapping process you have to use a script which resembles any auto-suggestion session. One has to keep repeating this script with the tapping of  respective points. When done simultaneously, the unwinding process begins.


How can EFT help in Alleviating Genital Herpes?

Genital Herpes has a very strong emotional dimension. People with strong emotional vulnerabilities are very prone to HSV1 or HSV2 infections.  This emotional dimension also becomes the greatest obstacle in treating genital herpes. EFT is very effective in releasing emotional energy blocks from one's system. Then, what else can be a better solution for laying a strong physical foundation for a natural herpes treatment?

Truth Statement

I feel miserable that I am infected with genital herpes.

I feel hurt that my boyfriend/ girlfriend did not tell me about his/her infection and kept it a secret.

I feel responsible for landing myself in this mess.

Round 1: The Problem
EFT Setup Statements

KC - Even though I feel sooo… guilty about my herpes/cold sore infection I deeply and completely accept myself .
KC - Even though this is a great emotional and physical  burden for me… I accept myself and the feelings I have, around this issue.
KC - Even though I know I am cursing myself with these feelings… I acknowledge and respect myself anyway.

EFT Sequence

TH - This Hurt weighs heavy on my mind
EB - This misery feels like a tight clamp around my body
SE - Especially when I think about it
UE - It's really hard to stop feeling guilty
UN - It makes me feel sad and disappointed in myself
CH - I feel like I have to carry this with me for ever!
CB - It doesn’t feel possible to let this Hurt go
UA - This is so heavy… and it's like a weight on my chest

Take a deep breath and roll your shoulders. Check your  truth statement level in a scale of 0 - 10. The level may have gone down.

Round 2: The Turn Around - Reframe
EFT Setup Statements

KC - Even though I'm carrying this Hurt for a while, now... I forgive and accept myself anyway.
KC - Even though I don't know how to let this blame go… maybe I'll find a way.
KC - Even though I think I must hold onto this Hurt feeling... I'm open to the possibility of letting it go

EFT Sequence

TH - Part of me feels I must hold onto this Hurt and Blame.
EB - And another part of me wants to let it go and be Free.
SE - This Pain and Heaviness has really stuck around.
UE - I wonder what will happen if I  let it go...
UN - If I let it go… I’ll need to forgive my Boyfriend/ Girlfriend
CH - And I’m not sure if I can forgive Him/ Her for this
CB - Maybe forgiving Him/ Her is more about realizing...
UA - that I am doing the best I can at this time

Take a deep breath and roll your shoulders, stretch your neck, roll your head and toes. Check your  truth statement level in a scale of 0 - 10. The level may have gone down.

Round 3: Affirm and Appreciate - no setup
EFT Sequence

TH - It seems like I’m more open to forgiving everybody and myself about this.
EB - It FEELS  good thinking about being free of this pain and heavinesst!
SE - I need not to be so hard on myself.
UE - Maybe I just need to give myself a bit of slack...and relax for now.
UN - I appreciate the new point of view I am beginning to look at this
CH - I feel my mind and body getting lighter and lighter.
CB - I am relieved that I am letting this go...
UA - and that freeing myself of these heavy feelings…

Take a deep breath and roll your shoulders, stretch your neck, roll your head and toes. Check your  truth statement level in a scale of 0 - 10. The level may have gone down. Compare this to your initial level. If you want you can repeat the complete process once again.

Make sure you ask using the word FEEL instead of  THINK.  Even if the level of your truth statement did not go down very much, change will start to happen.

It takes at least 3 to 4 times to co-ordinate the mental and the physical process together. This happens with everybody, you are no exception. So, don't worry for that.

This script is very general and for illustration purpose, but it can offer relief. Dealing with the complete emotional and physical issues requires a more advanced form of tapping and is beyond the scope of this post. Those who are affected by negative emotional and physical states and desire permanent relief, should check up Body Beyond Belief.

Body Beyond Belief

Brad Yates, one of the world’s premiere EFT practitioners, together with one of the world’s foremost experts in personal training and rehabilitation, Christopher Pinckley, finalized the energy points, the technique and the suggestive commands for achieving this breakthrough in achieving a better body and emotional balance.

In Brad's own words:

" The result is a breakthrough program in the form of over four hours of audio, primarily made up of live work with participants to tap through their limiting beliefs and behaviors that had stood in the way of their physical goals.


As you tap along with the recordings, whether the stated issues seem to be exactly the same as yours or not, shifts will be taking place inside that will create an opening to better physical fitness than you have ever experienced."

Worth a try?

No price, in terms of  time and money is more if it can bring a fundamental change in our body, mind  and spirit. There is nothing more for the "Emotional Freedom Technique" to prove to the world about its efficacy. It works wonderfully in releasing stress, phobias and in getting rid of bad habits. Though the  price in terms of money is  not a problem, many are not disciplined enough to pay the price in terms of time.  To reap the benefits of this wonderful system,  one should be determined to practice it everyday.

Natural Treatments For Genital Herpes


Why should one try  natural treatments for genital herpes?

In a time when we have access to advance scientific research facilities, why should one go for a natural method of treatment?

With all the advancement of medical science, we have no  cures for genital herpes. At least that is what the scientific community say! No vaccines, no cures, no proven method of treatment and no hope for those who are suffering from genital herpes!

The only method of treatment which they advocate, concentrates only on alleviation of symptoms, hence is a suppressive method. No suppressive method  worked till date and non will work in future. The anti-viral method keeps attacking and irritating the virus without annihilating. In due course, the virus grows immune to the medication. This treatment goes on for ever till the patient lives, but the virus never gets affected. Rather it remains ready to attack at the slightest weakness in part of the patient.

Treating genital herpes with such a method can not make any positive change inside the body, but surely contributes negatively. The herpes virus, works insidiously to weaken our health day by day, so exposing us to other killer diseases such as HIV, Dementia, Alzheimer’s disease etc.  This makes a  natural genital herpes treatment  method more relevant and more reliable.

What else they, those who are suffering, can do? Maintaining the status quo is no solution either.

If you are a victim of genital herpes, what will you do?

Is Natural Herpes Treatment A Myth?

Both 'Yes' and 'No.'

Yes, because there is no way we can throw the herpes virus out of our body. At least as on date there is no such method of treatment known to us.

No, because we can still treat the most painful and harmful symptoms successfully. We can stop the relapses. We can also stop the patients from infecting their sexual partners. This is no mean achievement.

With this two major symptoms controlled, the patient can slowly learn to adapt to the new physical and social realities.
 
OK. Then, what is the basis for such a claim?

Dr. Otto Warbugh's research.

The herpes virus is anaerobic. It cannot exist in an elevated oxygen environment within human body.  Increasing our body's alkalinity (pH) will suppress the genital herpes and oral herpes virus (HSV2 and HSV1 respectively) to levels where one will not experience outbreaks.

We can then deduce from the above findings that the reduction of acid levels and the increase of oxygen levels in the body can provide an environment hostile enough for these viruses to render them ineffective. This method can give rise to a successful and cost effective method of genital herpes treatment.

The method proven by Dr. Otto Warbugh's research is comprised of several parts. It starts with the overall theory and the process of this particular herpes treatment and is followed by several key natural ingredients to be used in diet for  natural Genital Herpes treatment.

The methods which are reported to have genuinely prevented the relapses, use the body oxygenation method.

I can lead you to an ebook written by somebody who personally faced this herpes phantom. This ebook can be downloaded immediately. It comes with a 60 days, no questions asked money back guarantee.

This is a video testimonial. It loads bits slowly, but is worth watching. Allow some time for the video to load.








There are many testimonials in the site. This ebook is the latest edition of her "Herpes Wise" ebook. Many people have been benefited from "Herpes Wise" and she has taken all the experience from them and compiled "Herpes Antidote."







Nobody can persuade you to do anything until you choose to do so.

Cold Sores - How To Get Rid Of A Cold Sore

"How do I get rid of this cold sore?" is normally the frustrated cry whenever these painful blisters occur. Unfortunately, curing them is easier said than done as there are so many cures and remedies, not to mention old wives tales, that sometimes feel as if you do not know which way to turn. In my opinion the first thing to do in getting rid of your cold sore is to understand what they are, why you have them and then you can decide how you want to go about tackling them.

Cold sores are part of the Herpes family of virus. In fact the proper name for cold sores is Herpes Simplex Virus 1. Now when a cold sore occurs you may have just contracted it from someone else, but it is more than likely that it has been lying dormant in you for a while. The virus itself is incredibly small and is virtually undetectable by medical science and although it is always with you, it in fact hibernates until the right conditions come along for it to outbreak. The majority of times the conditions are right are when you are feeling run down or stressed, so you may find that if you have had a severe cold or flu, or things are not going too well in life or at work, then you could be prime for an outbreak.

When an outbreak does occur, please be aware that a cold sore is highly contagious. Once the outbreak occurs you need to refrain from kissing or any other physical contact with the mouth with a partner. Also do not share eating utensils as again this will pass the virus on. Other things to avoid sharing are things like face cloths and towels as the virus can live on in the fabric. Finally do not pick at your cold sore as you may spread it to other parts of your body, and also to someone else if you touch them before the virus has been washed from your hands.

So how can cold sores be treated? Well first of all the bad news is that there is no permanent cure for cold sores, you can only really treat the symptoms and not the cause. However the good news is that there is a wide range of options both medicinal and homeopathic to treat your conditions. If you are going to treat a cold sore then you want to get on it as soon as you can, ideally as soon as you feel the tingling sensation that pre-empts the actual outbreak itself. Now the average lifespan of a cold sore is 7-10 days, and a lot of over the counter treatments say that they can take up to ten days to work, so that kind of gives the impression they are more about pain relief for ten days rather than curing the actual sore itself. However, that is not a bad thing in itself as cold sores can be incredibly painful. If you want to try an over the counter remedy, your best option is to go and have a chat with the pharmacist who will be able to advise you on the range of products they have.

Also becoming more increasingly popular is using home or homeopathic remedies. These are becoming popular because some of them actually work, and cost virtually nothing to apply. Some home remedies to name but a few are to apply ice or applying a used tea bag to the effected area. The reasoning behind this is that ice will give you pain relief straight away and will also help prevent the sore worsening, whilst with a used tea bag it is the tannin properties found in tea which are believed to fight against the virus.

There is also another way of treating cold sores which claims to be able to get rid of cold sores in three days and not only that, but by following their advice, although you will not be cured of the virus, you should be able to control it more to prevent further outbreaks.

Ways to Get Rid of Cold Sores Quickly

Having cold sores is embarrassing and humiliating. Also, it can be frustrating trying to get rid of it. So, what I'm going to do is share with you some tips on how to cure cold sores. That way, you can get rid of them and have more confidence in yourself. It is very contagious and once you are infected, the virus stays in your system and you will experience occasional or repeated outbreak. Cold sore outbreak is an annoying situation and you have to know how to get rid of your cold sores quickly.

Some people are lucky enough not to have recurring cold sores after exposure to the virus but in most cases a person infected with the virus suffers from recurring cold sore outbreak. This condition is very stressful and embarrassing because it is unsightly and people might avoid you. Of course you want to end your dilemma as soon as possible and you want to get rid of your cold sores quickly.

The cures to cold sore are:

The first cure for cold sores is to rub juice from aloe on it. This is very effective for helping to get rid of cold sores. Also, if you think you're about to have an outbreak, rub some ice over the area. This will help stop the cold sore from developing.

Vitamin A and C will help you cure your cold sores. So, by eating healthy, you will be able to get rid of your sores and prevent yourself from having a breakout. Also, make sure you eat yogurt. It will help minimize your chance of spreading your sores and help prevent you from having a breakout.

Another cure for cold sores is to place a tea bag on your sore. This will help you reduce the pain and help keep it from becoming worse. Tea bags helps your sores because it contains tannic acid. So, make sure you use tea bags if you don't want to have a breakout.

only way to get rid of cold sores is to get your doctor prescribe you those expensive medicines or creams that would cost a large amount of money out of your wallet? You can actually defeat cold sores from the comfort of your home. Let's just call them 'Cold Sore Home Remedies'.

Cold sore home remedies are possibly the most appropriate course of actions against the excruciatingly painful and disgusting looking herpes sore. Some of the remedies work at their best when taken internally (which might mean you will have to orally consume the remedies). Alternatively, you might also want to stick to remedies that are used externally as a topical treatment. However, what you must know is that taking the combination of two types of remedies will always give you the best result at all times.

Keep yourself healthy. If you are unhealthy, you have low resistance to viruses and diseases. Eat nutritious foods, get enough sleep, exercise and get vitamins supplements to keep you healthy. Living a healthy life will boost your immunity against diseases and viruses.

Genital Herpes Cures





Genital Herpes Cures: A Possible Solution


The phrase “Genital Herpes Cures” instantly gives rise to an immediate question, “Can genital herpes be cured?”

What is a cure, by the way?

If you are in this page and reading this article, it is certain that you need more information about genital herpes cure.

If curiosity is the reason that you are here, you will get some information here, but, my words are less likely to touch you.

This article is intended for people who are already frustrated with the present system of treatment of genital herpes.

The following passage from James Tyler Kent, an American, a renowned doctor, healer, homeopath, illustrates what the highest ideals of a cure can be from Samuel Hahnemann’s Organon of medicine.

 "The highest ideal of a cure is rapid, gentle and permanent restoration of the sickness to health, or removal and annihilation of the disease in its whole extent, in the shortest, most reliable and most harmless way, on easily comprehensible principles."

This seemingly simple definition is very deep like an ocean in its meaning. In simple terms this means three things.

Restoration of health, and not the removing of symptoms

All the cases where the symptoms are removed can not be called a cure. If the removal of symptoms is not followed by a restoration to health, it cannot be called a cure.

Restoration is to be done promptly, mildly and permanently

When a medicine causes side effects it can not cure. There is no question of permanence as there is n0 cure. The curative medicine does not act violently upon the economy, but establishes its action in a mild manner.

The method of treatment should be based on fixed principles

The third point is "upon principles that are at once plain and intelligible."
This means law - fixed principles which do not keep on changing from case to case.

This is not easy for somebody to understand who is not trained in the classical Homeopathy.

I am sorry; the scope of this article is too limited to elaborate on this point.

The possible Options for a Genital Herpes Cure

Let’s examine the methods used presently to treat Genital Herpes.

The anti-viral method of genital herpes cure.

As the cause of this disease is believed to be HSV 2 virus, there is an effort to suppress or kill the virus by antiviral treatment. This method achieves very temporary results. The worst part is the patient has to keep on taking the medicines or there will be a relapse.

Now a strong theory is emerging which tells HSV2 is responsible for dementia, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.

It is not a possibility. It is a reality that we will soon discover that long term suppression of any chronic disease will cause many more other complicated ones in addition to the above ones.

For immediate relief of bothering symptoms, one can resort to a medicine which gives relief. These agents should be mild and effective. We need not to keep on using them through out our lives. Dealing with these sort of symptoms  can be tricky  and Homeopathy  can  be a very effective and harmless option.

Immuno-boosing method of genital herpes cure.

Herbal Cures are Better
In this method of genital herpes cures, we increase the vitality of the body so that the body immunity system takes care of the virus.

Here, we must use herbal ingredients as a tonic to the body and resort to healthy living. Here the practice is difficult but the results make it worth while.

For this system to be effective one must follow the following.

Get rid of your drinking and smoking habits
Maintain a regular life style
Take nutritional food and plenty of water, be a vegetarian
Exercise regularly
Take plenty of rest
Resort to Yoga, Pranayam or Meditation to minimize your stress level

It is difficult I know, but HSV-II infection is a more difficult situation. Like the cure of any other chronic disease, genital herpes cure is no easy task. Unless people lead an orderly life they will not be cured of their chronic diseases.

Genital Herpes Treatments with Herpeset


The trauma of a genital herpes infection can only be understood firsthand. It is like adding insult to injury when one finds out that there is no permanent cure to this disease.

Genital Herpes Treatments available around fall into two distinct categories, namely anti-viral and immuno-boosting. The former tries to weaken or suppress the functioning of the HSV-II virus where as the latter tries to boost the immunity system of the patients’ body. Each system has its pros and cons, but the suppressive system is surely more harmful for the patient than for the virus. When surely the virus adapts to this type of medication, the patient surely falls a victim to it.







Why Herpeset is a better option

Herpeset does not suppress

It does not suppress the disease like other anti-viral medication. It treats the symptoms homeopathically and hence is safer.

Herpeset is from a FDA registered company

With so many types of genital herpes treatments available in market, it becomes overwhelming to choose the genuine ones from the rest. If the company manufacturing the product is a FDA registered one, it becomes easy to trust.

It is a Homeopathic formula

Homeopathy is a principle of applying a medicinal substance to a disease, based on the totalities of the symptoms. The guiding principle is “Similia Similibus Curenteur” or “Like cures Likes”. The ingredients chosen for herpeset are capable of creating similar symptoms as genital herpes on healthy people if taken internally.

The medicinal substances are taken mostly from plants, animals, metals and minerals. Homeopathy uses a unique method called  ‘potentization’ to develop the dynamic power of a substance, which is carried by a medium of  100% alcohol. .  The physical quantity of the medicinal substance is negligible in a homeopathic preparation. You can test this by allowing the alcohol to evaporate from the vial of any homeopathic preparation (not the mother tinctures).  As the material quantity is negligible, there is no chance of  side effect.

Most of the products found in the market target very few symptoms where as  the ingredients used in Herpeset help address a wider spectrum of symptoms. With continued usage for four to six months, it offers complete relief with no recurring attacks.

Following are the nine constituents of Herpeset formula:

  • Apis Mellifica: The material is extracted from the stings of honeybees.  It helps relieve rosy hue on skin, swelling and puffing up of various parts, stinging pain and burning sensation, intolerance to heat and touch, soreness and fluid retention.

  • Arsenicum Album: the source is metallic Arsenic.  Arsenic has been used for centuries to treat tumors, malignant ulcers, skin diseases and infections, and burning sensations with blisters. It cures extreme restlessness.

  • Baptista Tinctoria: The source is wild indigo. It cures symptoms of  asthenic type, low fever, septic conditions of the blood and putrid conditions like typhoid. It works on reducing the inflammation associated with mouth ulcers.

  • Capsicum: The source is Cayenne Pepper.  It is a great curative for affection of the mucous membranes, so very useful for curing sores inside mouth and vagina. Capsicum is on FDA’s GRAS List of safe foods. It is a powerful pain killer  and it reduces inflammation.

  • Dulcamara:  The source is Woody Nightshade. It is also known as “Bittersweet” also.  It has a special affinity to skin and mucous membranes and it is very effective against itching on moist eruptions around the face and genitals. It is very effective for genital herpes in women.

  • Echinacea Augustifolia: The source is Purple Cone Flower.  Echinacea are purple flowers that look like daisies and are native to eastern and central Northern America. It cures cases of blood dyscrasia, symptoms of blood poisoning or general septic conditions. It is very effective in various STDs. It is used to ease redness and stinging of skin eruptions in genital herpes.

  • Nitricum Acidum:  The source is Nitric Acid. It is a great remedy for treating STDs especially Syphilis. It is very efficacious for treating sticking pains as from a splinter, blisters and ulcers in mouth and genitals especially vagina, fissures bleeding or otherwise in rectum or genitals. It also helps in drying up oozing sores and arrest further spread of lesions.

  • Pyrogenium:  Pyrogenium is a mixture of glycerin and artificial sepsin. It is a grea medicine for healing septic states and ulcers of mouth and genitals. 

  • Rhus Toxicondendron:  The source is Poison Oak. It is also  known as poison vine, poison ivy or mercury vine. It is a great curative for red elevated skin eruptions with itching and burning, which develop into vesicles or blisters. The symptoms are accompanied with restlessness. It is found in abundance in the woodlands of North America.

It is in market for quite some time and proven

Herpiset is in market for at least 10 years. It is very difficult for a product to stay in market for so long if it is not genuine.

Quite affordable

It seems the product is fairly priced in comparison to other products available in the market for the same purpose.

Money back guarantee

This product comes with a 90-day money back guarantee, so it is easy to try this product without much worry.

So many testimonials

Testimonials of customers about a product indicate the level of satisfaction a product can offer. In addition to this one can get an idea about the challenges the other patients face during genital herpes treatments.

Lastly, for genital herpes treatments, you have to begin somewhere and have to trust somebody and something. In my opinion, Herpeset  remains a better remedy if not the best, to start with. Rest all rests upon your ability to choose and desire to act decisively.

Genital Herpes Treatments



When you find out that you are infected with genital herpes, it can be humiliating. When you find out that genital herpes has no cure and you have no choice of curative treatments, it is plain devastating. The only course of action you can opt immediately for a future cure is that you can keep calm and lead a healthy life style to get your immune system up. People will definitely like you if you act normal instead of continuously freaking out. It seems to me to be the first step towards a safer and better course towards genital herpes treatment.


It's very important to keep the sores as clean and dry as possible to prevent other infections from developing. Also you don't want to infect another person in your family and among friends, so as part of your genital herpes treatments program, always wash your hands thoroughly after touching the area where sores are present.

If you are pregnant and about to deliver a baby, it’s very important that you inform the person delivering the baby. There are several complications when pregnant women get infected with genital herpes. The doctor may want to cease your oral genital herpes treatments during the period of pregnancy to avoid the side-effects of the medication on the fetus. When you discover you are pregnant and infected with genital herpes, notify the attending doctor immediately.



Normal course of treatment doctors prescribe for genital herpes are antiviral in nature. This type of treatment tries to suppress and weaken the virus, so that further outbreaks are delayed and the intensity of the secondary attacks is minimized. This type of treatment seems to be the only logical solution to every patient as there is no hope of a curative treatment in the horizon at present.  Let me warn you here, it has its share of long term repercussions.  My intension here is neither to frighten you nor to sound wise. I am only trying to state facts.

The antiviral treatments are only effective and have better results if taken before blisters and sores appear. Some genital herpes treatments are to be taken when the genital herpes symptoms are active, and some genital herpes treatments are to be taken all the time, even when the genital herpes symptoms are not active.
Once you develop blisters and ulcers, you might be prescribed anti viral cream to speed up the healing process; however, many medical practitioners believe that anti viral cream has very little effect. Some people find that bathing the affected area in warm salt water helps to relieve discomfort as well as dry out the blisters. Those people who suffer from repeated outbreaks of genital herpes will often be prescribed courses of potent antiviral medicines to try and reduce the number of attacks. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle will also help to prevent further attacks of genital herpes.

Homeopathic and herbal remedies are available to people not wanting to have side effects caused by taking prescribed medications. Eating foods low in arginine may prevent recurring outbreaks; avoid peabuts, chocolate, sunflower seeds, soy and alcohol which are high in arginine. Aloe Vera can be taken orally or used topically as a natural genital herpes treatment. Drinking fruit juice and Aloe Vera juice in a small amount daily can help to control the number and severity of outbreaks.

Genital herpes treatments are just on the horizon, it may be years before any are available to consumers. We can even get some vaccine to totally prevent this infection. Getting the FDA approval is as cumbersome a process as inventing the medicine itself.

FDA Procedures

Before the FDA approves a drug, it must go through rigorous clinical trials, which are divided into three phases.

Phase I.  Researchers try to find out if the drug is safe for people to take. If the drug is deemed safe, it may go on to phase II.

Phase II. Researchers determine if the drug works as it should.

Phase III.   Trials, they expand their research to include more patients in more places. To conduct a clinical trial, scientists need people to participate voluntarily. Clinical trials often involve thousands of patients who volunteer to take the experimental drug.The FDA  and an independent review board carefully monitor every aspect of the trial. There are rules the researchers must follow to ensure that their work is not only scientifically correct, but also ethically sound.The study volunteers have clearly defined rights, such as the right to drop out of the trial at any time. While there are risks involved in joining a clinical trial, there may be benefits, too.

With suppressive treatments, all of us can do our daily activities and keep leading an apparently normal life, but we will always be conscious of the virus we carry. We will never be the same persons again; we were before being diagnosed with genital herpes.  It will be wise to resort to long term herbal treatments, which can strengthen our immunity system and gradually neutralize the strength of the virus.

Male Genital Herpes

Male Genital Herpes is not much different than the female genital herpes, as the virus of infection remains the same, HSV2,  in both the sexes. This disease being one which predominantly manifests in the genito-urinary systems, only looks different in different sexes, to the superficial eye.

Male genito-urinary system is rather simple anatomically in comparison to that of the female, so the manifestation in an average case looks simple, but is equally painful mentally and physically as in the case of a female.

Genital Herpes symptoms vary from one person to the other, but generally everybody gets the majority of the common symptoms. There may be some fortunate few, who have genital herpes, but never show any signs or symptoms. Nevertheless, they pass the infection to their partners. One can have herpes and not know it, but he/she will undoubtedly pass it on to someone who in a few weeks will manifest the primary symptoms of genital herpes.



In male genital herpes, the primary symptoms or the symptoms just after the infection are the following

•    Fever and flu like symptoms as HSV1 or HSV2 manifests its virus symptoms
•    Muscle aches and tiredness
•    Burning or smarting pain with urination, high colored urine
•    Red, inflamed patches on the shaft and glans of penis and scrotum
•    Pain around the rectal area, perineum and inner thigh with red bumps
•    The herpes lesions and blisters are generally come after the other symptoms

Genital Herpes In Men
Approximately a month after one has been sexually exposed, one may begin to start having the above symptoms.  He can also expect to start getting lesions around and on genital area. The first stage of genital herpes on penis is marked by severe itching and red elevated patches, These patches will be itchy and painful. It may be a simple sore pain or burning, smarting, stinging or occasional flying pains. These pains will be, in almost all cases aggravated by heat or covering. The smokers will invariably have more itching around genitals than non-smokers. The itching in some cases is so severe that in the process of itching the itch out, the individual damages the tissue around. Due to constant rubbing and itching, the penis may swell. Just during this time the lesions appear.  These lesions will eventually turn into fluid filled blisters and are painful. Soon the blisters will ulcerate and scab over the herpes sores. These symptoms are likely to last 2 to 4 weeks in an average man, but this duration can be short or long. People with very robust constitutions generally have strong reactions for a short period, and the sores then dry up. People with weaker constitutions generally have mild symptoms, but the symptoms linger for a longer period.

After the primary symptoms are gone, the person still retains the virus. Now he will be getting the secondary attacks depending upon the state of his health, food habits and emotional condition. People with a habit of consuming alcohol, regular non-vegetarian diets, high stress levels and emotional turmoil  in life are very susceptible to regular secondary attacks.

Here, men being emotionally less susceptible can handle the emotional aspect of genital herpes better than the women.  Men need to refrain from sexual intercourse or sexual activity until they are in the remission stages of a herpes outbreak. When they are ready to have sex again, it is imperative that they must tell the sexual partner in advance of the herpes infection. It is comparatively safe to use a latex condom or an acceptable substitute so that she does not get infected.



An outbreak of genital herpes brings a feeling of misery and perceived social stigma with it to any sex. But, it is in the better interest of the individual that he does not hide it.  It is imperative that once you notice the signs and symptoms of a possible herpes outbreak, you must seek the advice of a doctor.  Though genital herpes blood tests are not very accurate (usually tests have a 50/50 chance of accuracy), it always pays for an early diagnosis.

The Treatment Methods:

Just after the diagnosis, almost every patient starts the treatment with the anti-viral method. After realizing that this type of treatment has to go on for ever, many lose interest and change over to alternate methods.

The herpes virus is anaerobic and can not survive in an oxygen rich human body. Some natural methods use this principle effectively and succeed to stop the relapses altogether.

Genital Herpes Sores


Genital herpes sores are painful reddish blisters that erupt on the penis, on the vaginal lips, or inside the vagina. These are sure sort indication of presence of the HSV-I or HSV-II  virus inside one’s body, but the absence of this does not indicate the absence of the virus.

Genital herpes sores are symptoms of an infection by the herpes simplex virus HSV-I or HSV-II. HSV-I primarily causes cold sores but can also lead to isolated genital sores.  HSV-II  is generally associated with genital herpes sores--even though it also causes some oral sores.

These sores are not only painful but also embarrassing. People those who indulge in indiscriminate sexual contact must re-think the pros and cons. In addition, individuals suffering from genital herpes have the obligation to keep their partners safe from contacting the infection. An infected person will most likely infect his or her spouse even if no outbreak is present.



Genital herpes sores are characterized by the formation of painful fluid-filled sores on the genital organs of both men and women. People with genital herpes sores are at a higher risk of contracting the HIV virus during intercourse.These look like inflamed papules and vesicles, sort of like cold sores. 

The actual sores commonly appear within a week after infestation. When it affects men, the sores appear on the glans of the penis, the shaft of the penis and more rarely, on other parts of the genital area. When it affects women, the sores commonly occur on the pubis, labia, clitoris and vulva or anus.

Another type of genital herpes is called herpetic proctitis and it refers to the inflammation of the rectum and anus.

Genital Herpes Sores
 When one is infected, the herpes virus enters the cell, joins the DNA and stays inside the cell. In the process of cell division, the infected cells keep on multiplying and growing. On the other hand some cells explode as a result of weakening of the cell membrane and the protoplasm leaks. This creates the inflamed red blotches and slowly develops into blisters. The serum in the blisters is highly charged with the herpes virus and is highly infectious.

When you develop a sore, your immune system tries to heal it, so there are many immune cells concentrated in that spot. If HIV in semen, vaginal fluid, or blood comes in contact with a herpes sore, the risk for infection is high. Research shows that when the herpes virus is active, it may cause HIV to make more copies of itself than it would otherwise. The more HIV replicates, the more of the body's infection-fighting cells it destroys, eventually leading to aids (acquired immune deficiency syndrome). People infected with both HIV and the herpes virus may have longer-lasting, more frequent, and more severe outbreaks of herpes symptoms, because a weakened immune system can't keep the herpes virus under control as effectively as a healthy immune system can.

Scientists say this is because the immune-cell environment associated with genital herpes is a favorable environment for the HIV virus, even after healing has occurred and herpes has been treated with medications.

Most people who have herpes are  more susceptible to other infections. Cellulitis is an uncommon bacterial infection, may be developped to bacteria entering the genital herpes sores. Cellulitis causes a deep red rash and is often associated with tenderness and fever.

Genital herpes sores generally contain a transparent fluid which gradually turn cloudy  and yellow, like pus. These blisters subsequently dry up and form scabs, which  fall off after few days but do not leave any scars, so it becomes difficult to know by visual examination if any individual had been ever infected by genital herpes.


Signs Of Genital Herpes


Signs of genital herpes are sores, rashes, red bumps or itchy areas inside or around the vagina, on the penis or scrotum, on the perineum or near the anus and on the buttocks or inner thighs. An outbreak may appear on areas other than the genitals. The symptoms are sometimes so mild that they go unnoticed.

It is also important to know that blisters can occur inside the genitals, such as on the cervix for women and inside the urethra for men. Urination becomes  painful during an outbreak. The person infected may get flu-like symptoms including fever, headaches and muscle aches, or swollen lymph nodes in the groin.

Sores also may appear on other parts of the body where broken skin has come into contact with HSV-I or HSV-II. Over a period of days, the sores become encrusted and then heal without scarring.

Genital Herpes Simplex Blisters
Symptoms of HSV-I may include cold sores on the face and mouth. Many type 1 herpes virus infections occur during childhood when an infant or child is kissed by a relative or friend who has active HSV-I, or oral herpes or cold sores. Symptoms also may be mistaken for genital abrasions that could have been caused by vigorous activities like playing sports or sexual intercourse. Symptoms of herpes may be mild or nonexistent; therefore, many do not even know they are infected.

It is common for the blisters to open up, sometimes causing severe pain. The first outbreak of genital herpes usually lasts 10 to 20 days until healing is complete. During the first outbreak, many people have other genital herpes symptoms.

Some people have reported that they can tell when at outbreak is about to occur by a tingling sensation in areas which are then followed by the appearance of blisters or sores.



The majority of people with genital herpes experience mild and infrequent symptoms. Some people may experience more frequent and severe recurrent episodes. Other people could have symptoms which could be confused for blade burns, zits, insect bite, jock itch, hemorrhoids, in-growths of hairs or a yeast infection in the vagina. Subsequent to contracting the infection, the signs subside, however could keep flaring up now and then. Providentially, only the primary outburst is the most unpleasant one. There are few who would experience merely 1 or 2 outbursts of this disease during their life span. A tissue sample would be taken from the person's herpes sore to be microscopically evaluated. A blood analysis can be carried out for checking for the presence of the viral antibodies in the immune system that would be present in the case one has contracted genital herpes infection.

The risk of transmission from a mother to her baby is greatest for babies born to a woman with first episode genital herpes around the time of delivery. Neonatal herpes is potentially life threatening but occurs very rarely.

It is absolutely necessary to stop all sexual contact during an outbreak of symptoms. It is important to remember that the signs of genital herpes do not spell the end of a person's possibility for meaningful relationships. In addition, it is vital to remember that the uses of condoms are effective in greatly restricting the spread of the virus, although they are not foolproof.

If you have sex with many different partners without a condom (or if your partner does), you are at high risk of contracting an std, including genital herpes. However, since herpes can be spread by skin-to-skin contact or through oral sex, condoms do not always offer complete protection against the disease. Herpes can spread through sexual contact even if an infected person does not have an outbreak during the time of intercourse. So, if you have not been with your partner for a long time or are unsure about their sexual history, you may have an elevated risk of contracting genital herpes.

Knowledge of genital herpes symptoms in women, such as appearance of blisters on private parts, unusual vaginal discharge and muscle pain, will help in its early diagnosis and timely treatment. Genital herpes in men, if not treated in the initial stages, leads to several grave symptoms in the later stages of this infection.

Signs of Genital Herpes are just indications of a probable infection. The very worst thing you can do is refuse to seek medical help because you are embarrassed. This is a very common disease and is treatable. The patients must focus on a long term and herbal cures, even if the symptoms seem to be absent for sometime. It is a common belief that genital herpes cure is not possible. But, some Homeopathic and herbal medicines have provided efficacious results and the recurrences have never appeared after prolonged treatments.

Genital Herpes in Women

Genital Herpes in women is a bit different from that in men. The cause of the diseases in both men and women is no different; it is the same Simplex II or   HSV-II. It is very difficult to make a comparison of the intensity of a disease basing on sexes, however, under general conditions a woman is the worst sufferer.

The uniqueness of genital herpes in women is purely due to the uniqueness of woman anatomy and physiology.

Men and women, in spite of all the similarities, have distinct dissimilarities in anatomy and physiology. When it comes to the comparison of genito-urinary systems and functions, the dissimilarities are striking. Genital Herpes being a disease primarily of the sexual system, manifests differently in different sexes.






Genital Herpes in women has the following characteristics.

  • Women are very prone to infection
  • The first outbreak is more painful
  • The time taken is more for symptoms to disappear
  • Subsequent attacks may come frequently
  • The suppressive treatment is least successful and dangerous
  • A cure takes more time

The purpose of this article is not to frighten the women with genital herpes, but to indicate the ordeal which lies ahead of them. With sufficient caution and correct type of treatment, they can easily get rid of this.

Women are very prone to infection
  
External Eruptions Around Vagina
 When it comes to automation and auto maintenance of any machine or system, there is nothing like a living body. Out of all the living body designs, human body is a wonderful design marvel, the acme of all creations in the living world. It is a perfect synthesis of the gross and the subtle, crudest of matter and the finest. And again when it comes to the body of a woman, it is the most complex. Reason of this complexity is the overwhelming number of automated systems, sub-systems, sub-sub-systems and their interdependence and co-ordination. Perhaps the greatest wonder is to replicate its own species. All these systems are hormone and enzyme controlled.

When we make a comparison of the male and female anatomy, particularly the reproductive system, the female system is more intricate and internal. The male penis is an external lump of flesh covered with skin, whereas the vagina is internally folded and lined with mucosal cells. All mucosal cells are provided with constant wetness and micronutrients to fulfill its function. As microbes need water or moisture to survive, the vagina becomes a potential fertile breeding ground for micro organisms and hence, naturally prone to microbe attacks. In the other hand, most part of the penis except the tip of the glans and the urethral opening is covered with skin. Skin, as it have a cutaneous cover at the periphery, the epidermis,  is naturally protected. The epidermis protects the dermis and the sub-cutaneous layer from the microbes. Hence, a woman becomes more prone to an infection of genital herpes than a man.

For preventing a virus attack, the vitality of emotion is as important as the vitality of body. Women in general are less vital emotionally, so more prone to an infection and recurrence.

The first outbreak is more painful

Internal Eruptions Inside Vagina
The symptoms of the first outbreak are  fever, head ache, loss of appetite, thirst and body/muscle ache, high colored urine, pain or burning in the urethra, swelling and tenderness of the lymph nodes in the groin area,  lot of lassitude and a debilitated  patient. In case of women, vaginal discharges are mostly observed with a feeling of misery. There are blisters inside and around vagina. Depending upon the physical and emotional state of the individual the intensity of the symptoms may vary. In severe cases of genital herpes in women there will be many blisters deep inside vagina. 


One of the very prominent aspects of  herpes blisters is these are very itchy. In case of eruptions around male genitals, the itching is manageable, but it is very difficult to manage an itch of  herpes on vagina or an "itchy clit". In the process of  itching the itch out, the patient injures the delicate tissue and opens up the scabs on the blisters, there by delaying the healing process.  Herpes ulcerations are a nightmare as far as itching is concerned.

HSV-II is a virus that finds itself taking up residence in the sacral ganglion at the base of the spine. From there, it recurs in the genital area in the form of blisters or pimple like pustules.  These blisters form and eventually break scabbing over until fully healed.  Breakouts do vary in length of time and severity usually lasting anywhere from 10-14 days.

The time taken is more for symptoms to disappear

The blisters in "herpes vaginale" or inside vagina mature, break and heal  slowly as the drying up process takes more time in moist areas. Same process of maturing of blisters is also applicable to eruptions around vagina, but it takes less time to heal.

Subsequent attacks may come frequently

Most women are very delicate physically and emotionally. So, it is very probable that they become susceptible to the virus with minor adversities in the external sphere. Due to frequent relapses the suppressive treatment is not very successful. On the other hand,  frequent intake of antiviral medication has its share of dangerous side effects too. Keeping the above in view, it becomes difficult for a woman genital herpes patient to get a lasting cure.
