Sexually contracted diseases have moved centre-stage over the past few decades due to the sudden spurt in the HIV-AIDS cases, particularly in some African countries. Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) is one such condition brought about by sexual contact. The condition is seen in 2 types, Type 1 and Type 2; the former affecting the mouth and the latter, the genitals. The affected person can experience horrible pain and discomfort. Homeopathy, though a form of medicine established centuries before diseases like Herpes were detected, still has remedies.

  1. Herpes Simplex is contracted through direct, unprotected sexual contact with a person already suffering from the infection
  2. Herpes is a virus and is highly contagious
  3. Common symptoms include ulcers and sores on the skin
  4. The lesions are visible in the areas affected based on the type, near the mouth in type 1 and over the genitals in type 2
  5. Other symptoms, like flu-like headaches and painful urination, are also reported
  6. As mentioned, Herpes is caused by sexual contact and in many cases, the symptoms may not show up immediately and may lay underneath
  7. Physical examination and questioning the affected person on behavioural history, particularly sexual activity, will reveal the exact status to the doctor. In specific cases, a swatch of the affected area can be sent for microscopic examination
  8. Homeopathy has an effective treatment for Herpes Simplex
  9. Homeopathy looks at the long-term cure of the condition
  10. Some of the remedies for Herpes under Homeopathy are Nitric acid, Thuja Occidentalis, Causticum, Medorrhinum, Silica
  11. These are the elements and the medical practitioner will synthesise the elements in the right proportion and prescribe the doses
  12. As it is practised in most Homeopathy treatments, the medicine is orally administered and the granules or tablets have to be taken continuously for a long period
  13. Though each case would be different and the intensity of the condition would guide the treatment, there are common recommendations given to all affected individuals
  14. Unprotected sex should be strictly avoided. Even in the case of protected sex, contact with unknown persons should be averted
  15. The treatment for Herpes Simplex under Homeopathy may last from 12 to 24 months
  16. But the treatment is meant to be a cure and ensure that the person is protected from future infections too
  17. Several natural supplements are also a part of the long-term solutions to ensure that the holistic health of the males and females is maintained
  18. Several suggestions are given to Herpes affected persons on the right kind of food items to consume

Homeopathy has an answer to virtually every condition, including some the ailments which have surfaced during this generation. But the treatment takes care of not only addressing the immediate condition but also finding long-term solution and prevention of future relapsing of the condition.
