Hey, I think I finally found something that works... And it's natural! On the advice of my stepmom (who also has a strong dislike for doctors and chemical medication), I started taking a bud of garlic and a lime every morning. Peeled and stuck in a spoon with the lime, the garlic actually goes down quite easy... so long as you don't try to take one that's too big!

One week later, no itch, bumps are going away, no new ones... I'm free!! Best part is that there's NO side effects that I have noticed at all! If this works for anyone else, please let me know.

hi, could you please tell something more about your method?
did you eat it or just put it on your skin?
you said you are free, you mean it never came back again or it helped to shorten the healing progress.
thanks.

Keep in mind that herpes outbreaks often only last a few days to begin with, and can become milder and of shorter duration over time.

Home remedies aren't proven to speed healing with herpes outbreaks, but a number of prescription antiviral therapies are. Ask your healthcare provider if you have questions, and read more about conventional and alternative therapies at http://www.ashastd.org/herpes/herpes_le ... ment.cfm#3.

Best,
Fredo
