Aloe Vera for Genital Herpes

5 out of 5 stars

I have had GH for many years,but usually an outbreak only 2 or 3 times a decade. Upon moving to Indonesia, my outbreaks increased to 5 or 6 a year. After racking my little brain, the only thing I do different here is use SOY OIL for cooking.

Any imput or ideas,from anyone?

I have found that fresh Aloe Vera, both orally and topigraphicaly, seem to have an immediate effect, healing sores, burning, and the funky overall feeling.

I will change my cooking oil,but again, any ideas would be welcome.

Thanks and good luck to ALL.!

I have found aloe vera gel to be very effective at healing sores usually overnight or in a day or two - apply several times a day if possible. L-Lysine as a pill also helps me as does L-lysine cream applied topically. Lemon balm cream also helps. Lemon balm TEA helps oral sores. Lemon balm is a known herpicide, tho I don't see it on this site.

Jimi50, Cease with the soy oil. No good. Better to use coconut oil, it has anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties among many other desirable properties. Much information on it here on this site. More better!

It is my understanding that in Indonesia, peanut oil is used in cooking some things.

NOTE: the quote from earlier on the page, above your post.

"Lay off the peanuts man. Peanuts contain lots of arginine. The herpes simplex virus requires the amino acid arginine to metabolize and multiply."

Asian foods are often cooked in peanut oil.

Soy is almost always GMO. GMOs (genetically modified organisms) are toxic and will only make it worse.
