How to Heal Herpes
If you find yourself with an active herpes outbreak, there is no time like the present to start early healing treatment.
The absolute best advice I can give you is to apply Vitamin E oil (if you only have access to the capsules, just break them open – with scissors – and apply the oil) directly on the sore or blister.
There are different stages of herpes and before the outbreak breaks open it is best to keep the area clean and dry. As soon as the sore or blister becomes exposed you can apply the Vitamin E oil. There is no magic moment here – just use your best judgment. I have found that by applying the Vitamin E oil directly on the outbreak – 2 or 3 times per day – I can speed up herpes healing by up to a week.
If the outbreak is deeper in your vaginal area – you can think about calendula ovules. You should be able to purchase these at any quality health food store. You simply insert them before bed and the exterior melts away, bathing the outbreak in calendula oil.
Great for healing; great for herpes relief.
There really isn’t anything more I can add. Tea tree oil is very good for numbing any pain you might have during active herpes outbreaks, but I have not had as much success with tea tree oil and rapid healing as I have with Vitamin E Oil.
Should you be so inclined you can consider visualization to speed up herpes healing.
Sit quietly and imagine the herpes sores or blisters getting smaller and smaller until they disappear. You can also imagine bathing your genital area in alternating colors of blue and green (good healing colors!).
This last technique isn’t for everyone but it’s free and I’ve had some success with it.
Be well!

I’ve had herpes for 3 years and my outbreaks have gotten less frequent over time. which is i guess is normal. I did find HSV ZERO medicine and i’ve had success with it , i normally got cold sores at the side of my mouth that ends up scabbing over and taking about 10 days to heal. With it can be reduced to 3 days and seems to dry up the area and not produce a big scab. It can shorten outbreaks and make them less severe or stop from happening. Lemon balm , calendula arvensis and DMSO is the main ingredient of this medicine.
I have had genital herpes for almost two years now. I’m still learning to deal with it but I’m starting to get the hang of things. I’ve tried to get medically diagnosed a number of times, but when I go in I’m told that is sure sounds like herpes, but not very severe, or blisters never appear. I’ve been tested but never diagnosed, so I’ve never been able to receive medication. I know part of it is psychological but what are your thoughts on taking valtrex, and it’s preventative measures in spreading the virus? Again I’d like to be diagnosed so that if I do find someone that I’d like to be with I can at least tell them what I’ve done to prevent giving them the virus.
I feel like I have these “slight” outbreaks enough that the virus is never supressed, but it’s not severe enough to receive a diagnosis.
I was just diagnosed with HSV 2 today and I stumbled across your blog while researching more about the virus online. I cannot stop reading your posts! I feel so devastated right now, but my doctor said that having only 2 sores means that I’ve had the virus lying dormant for a couple of years and my excess stress levels and being run down lately must have brought it out for the first time. I’m upset because I don’t know who has given me this, and even more shocked to learn that I’ve been living with this and didn’t even know it! According to my doc, my body handles the virus well on its own, having never had an outbreak before, but has put me on valtrex to speed healing and re-suppress the virus. I’m only 22 and I’m trying to accept that I will have this for life. I’m a nurse as well and I feel that makes it even more awkward to deal with – I’m supposed to be the healthy one! My long term boyfriend and I have been discussing the “situation” at length and I have never felt more supported and loved. He’s really going to be rock to get me through this. Thank you for this inspiring blog – I will read often, especially when I need a boost!
I just picked up HSV 2 a few weeks ago from someone whom I thought would be the one, but I was just a fling to him. I had severe fever for days and got a very ,excruciatingly painful severe outbreak ive had for a week and a half now. Its clearing up, I was in the hospital a few times this week. They had to insert a catheter because I could no longer bare to urinate. That is out now and they prescribed me Acyclovir which has been a miracle thing for me. I’m 90% better now but it was one looooong week for me. I’m hoping that future outbreaks won’t be anything like this because my 1st was hellacious. I am also sad about having to watch what I eat, I’ve always been a big coffee drinker and chocolate eater. :(
I was diagnosed with HSV 2 a year now and I had one outbreak and ever since I have been fine. I have tried a few things, first I changed my diet and that helped big time, I lost 15lbs, and I feel great. At first I use to cry and beat up myself so badly, I honestly thought my inside was poison and I thought I was going to die…I cried, and cried, and prayed so much I spoke to one girlfriend and up to this day she’s the only person that knows I have the virus…I use to feel so dirty and very nasty but I’m okay with myself now. I did research online for a lot of different types of Natural Herbs and I came across Natra Burst and I have been drinking it everyday twice a day for over a year. This product has really improved my health. I was diagnosed with multiple issues, starting with bad thyroids, ovarian cysts, and fibroids in addition to the monthly problem of very heavy menstrual flow, bad clots and terrible cramps. As you can imagine I was given so many different types of medication for each condition. A friend recommended Natra Burst so I did my research on the product and its’ benefits and started drinking it. I must say at first I was very skeptical about the product, I asked myself is it a good health drink? not so sure if it would assist me. What I have found out is, it has relieved me of all the medical problems I had, I feel great and is no longer on the prescribed medications. This product also helps with Diabetics, High Blood Pressure, Arthritis, Digestive problems, Cholesterol, Constipation and much more. It is an all natural healthy product. A lot of the ingredients in this product is very good for anyone that has the Herpes virus.
A few co-workers have been observing me when I first started drinking Natra Burst and they knew of my medical problems and how annoying I would get at times. They also knew when I started drinking Natra Burst and now, they have all placed orders for Natra Burst and four of them also signed up to start selling it as they have witnessed the benefits it brought me and I even showed them the results from my doctor, I no longer have thyroids, fibroids, and all other health issues I was dealing with are gone. I haven’t had any outbreaks since!!
Please take me serious about this product. I would greatly appreciate it if you went to the website, look up the product and tell me what you think.

i’m going on a decade now and the best treatment other than taking a prescription anti viral is tea tree oil and any triple antibiotic ointment. in a small container mix half antibiotic ointment and half tea tree oil. mix well and apply to sores. i got tired of waiting for blisters to open into sores, so i carefully poke them with a sterile needle and blot the juice out with a tissue. immediately after i sanitize the area with H2O2 to stop any spreading. apply tea tree mixture every 2 hours. warning, it burns a little at first then subsides after about 20 minutes. i can get rid of a breakout in 6 days from first sign of blister with this method. a plus, the tea tree oil has a strong smell thats kinda pleasant and will hide any sour odors from the discharge. you should be taking L-Lysine EVERYDAY!!!!!! 1000mg. and taking eccinachea helps keep your immune system up. i also take liquid melissa officinalis or lemon balm extract every morning in my tea. and i smoke weed when the pain is unbearable and am depressed because of, well, you know why. it helps. really. stay strong.
