If you have genital herpes, you know how physically and emotionally draining it can be. But remember, you don't have to suffer in silence. Many sufferers have found great comfort in some therapy sessions after being diagnosed, and usually don't need more than a few visits to gain some perspective on living with the virus.

Most major cities have support groups for STD sufferers, and many for Gential Herpes specifically. If a support group is not an option, there are support forums available online, and even dating services where you can meet someone for romance or just friendship and support. If you have genital herpes don't underestimate the healing power of just talking about your problem with someone who understands.

Please forgive the grammar of this post title, but I get so many emails asking exactly this I thought I might put it as the title so I can clear things up.

What these people are asking isn't what are genital herpes, what they mean is "What is Genital Herpes?". Genital herpes is a strain of the Herpes Simplex Virus that is usually contracted from sexual contact with another person who has the virus. Like Herpes Simplex 1, genital herpes causes outbreaks of blisters to appear on the body during a time when the immune system is weakened, usually due to stress, illness or sleep deprivation. The blisters caused by Genital Herpes appear on the genitalia (penis or vagina), rather than on the mouth or face.

Herbal Treatments for Genital Herpes: The Facts

2008-07-10T01:51:00.000-07:00

Recent advances in Homeopathic medicine have lead to many incredibly effective natural and herbal based treatments for sufferers of sexually transmitted diseases, and genital herpes (or Herpes Simplex Virus HSV-2) is one of the afflictions receiving the most attention.

Current pharmaceutical anti-viral therapy for genital herpes, while being very effective, can often have harsh side effects and can be very expensive for those without healthcare benefits. This, combined with consumer attitudes towards homeopathic remedies becoming more positive (a knock on effect of more stringent standards imposed on this area of medicine) has led to an explosion of usage of natural treatments of gential herpes.

In many cases, herbal treatments for genital herpes are found to be just as effective (if not more) than anti-virals for controlling outbreaks, with the added benefit of no side effects, and a much lower price for these treatments.

Another benefit of these treatments is the ease of use and application, as well as their easy availablity online, allowing them to be ordered and delivered straight to a sufferers home, saving them the trouble and expense of getting perscriptions, and the embarrassment of buying medications in person.
