Treating Herpes?

Is there any way of treating herpes (genital) with homeopathy? Would the individuals constitution remedy be given, or is there a specific remedy that works for herpes? Any help would be so gratefully appreciated! <3

Hi Your immune system will handle
herpes if it is working well. Homeopathic remedies
when right activate your life force to clear out imbalance,
so your own life force/immune system do the work.

What will also help is if you have a good diet of well
prepared fresh food, enough rest, regular exercise
and a regular routine of eating, sleeping, etc.

Gemstar last decade
Who advised these remedies and how frequently do you take them. Did you notice any change because of them.

I think its curable but having said that, curability depends on your body solely, homeopathy just pushes the healing forces in the right direction.
 
fitness last decade
A couple of homeopaths have advised the nat mur- I usually take it just when im run down. I have taken at at the beginning of an attack and they went back down, so it could possibly be the right remedy, Im just not taking it reguarly enough? Or i need a higher doseage?I have only had sepia a few times since I had children- when I have been having trouble coping with everyday domestic life- and it seemed to help heaps.
When you say its curable do you mean that a blood test would turn up negative, or just that you would stop getting attacks?
I really appreciate your help by the way :)
 
Gemstar last decade
I take Nat Mur 200 approx once a fortnight
 
Gemstar last decade
You are welcome.

As I wrote above, I am not sure how your body will respond but I can assure one thing i.e. you will get as healthy as possible keeping your body's limitations in view. And that health will be evident to you!
 
fitness last decade
Please give details of Q-7.
 
fitness last decade
I knew my husband had the herpes virus but it wasnt until we had been together for about 3 years that I had my first attack (though, as is the nature of the virus, I could of actually contracted it much earlier.) At the time he was away overseas and was partying lots and was (from what I was hearing) possibly interested in another woman over there. I was left at home with our 2 year old so was dealing with resentment at him being away, jealousy that I didnt get to go partying, stress at being a single mum and fear that he was going to cheat on me. I have had outbreaks over the years since then but the worst was while I was pregnant with out second child- I was getting outbreaks at least once a month. My husband was home with me at this stage but was- emotionally and support wise- not there for me at all.
 
Gemstar last decade
Q-7 What were your feelings at that time

Q-17 Explain it more.
Also, what emotions you feel when thinking about ex.

Q-35 Need details of your acne (where, how much, what it looks like). Also please upload a picture of it or email it to me.
 
fitness last decade
Q7- I felt angry and teary. Lonely, resentful, stressed, jealous, insecure, fearful and very unappreciated and unsupported. I also felt sad, guilty and dissapointed in myself that I couldnt just be happy and accepting of my situation.

Q17- At least once a day during our relationship I would reminisce about the 'good old days'- when me and my exhusband were happy, having fun, and he was really loving towards me. I constantly yearned for it to be the way it was in the beginning.
Now I find thoughts of anger preoccupying my mind a lot- Im constantly thinking of all the hurtful things my ex husband has done to me, and find myself 'arguing' with him in my mind a lot. I find myself even mumbling the arguments aloud under my breath at times! Possibly because I avoid confrontation and didnt say what I really felt at the time of the incident. But these bitter thoughts are constant and make it hard for me to just forgive and move on.

Q35- I break out in occasion large, red, deep (sometimes blind) pimples. It isnt constantly, and im not covered at all, just random ones popping up at random times (more when I have PMT). They show up on my cheeks, jawline, neck, upper back and décolletage. I will try email a picture.
 
Gemstar last decade
sorry, I cant upload a photo- but hopefully my description is enough? I should also add that the pimples I get on my neck are very slow to heal.
 
Gemstar last decade
Please give details of outbreak:
Does it have pustules
Does it itch or burn
What provides relief (warmth, cold, pressure etc.)
What makes it worse (warmth, cold, pressure etc.)

Anything else which accompanies the outbreak

When did you have your last dose of any homeopathic remedy

Since when are you taking 5HTP (what is 5HTP)
 
fitness last decade
Outbreak does have pustules, angry red ones usually. They dont itch or burn. I suppose i get relief from pressure, and by breaking them to let the pus out. Eew! Nothing else really accompanies outbreak.

Last dose was Nat Mur 200- about 2 days ago. It improved my mood at bit, and made my brain a bit clearer.

5HTP is a synthetic seratonin supplement used to buid up seratonin levels. I have been taking it for almost 2 months
 
Gemstar last decade
Your remedy is: Phosphorus 200c.

Don’t take any more dose or any other remedy unless I tell you!

If your remedy is in the form of pills:
One dose is one pill.
Dissolve the pill under the tongue.

If your remedy is in liquid form:

That’s one dose.
Use the same mixture for subsequent doses, if required.
Don’t refrigerate the mixture. Put it anywhere covered, away from direct sunlight.

PRECAUTIONS:
If there is significant worsening of symptoms (called homeopathic aggravation) after the first dose, then don’t take the second dose.
Don’t take any other homeopathic remedy during this treatment.
Give a break of at least 10 minutes before eating/drinking anything before or after taking the remedy.

Hi there!
I took two doses 12 hours apart, as suggested. Within 24 hours I had a herpes attack (though about 50% less severe) and I came out in lots of mouth ulcers- on my gums and inside my cheeks?
Emotionally and mentally- about 60% better.
 
Gemstar last decade
Excellent.

When was the dose taken?

How are the symptoms now.
 
fitness last decade
The herpes cleared up within 2 days (much quicker than usual) and are completely cleared at the moment.
The mouth ulcers only just went down- about 6 days after last dose- and are pretty much all cleared.
Mentally and physically I feel quite normal and good- no great amounts of tiredness or emotion
 
Gemstar last decade
What date did you take the dose?
 
fitness last decade
1st dose- 16th january
2nd dose- 17th january
 
Gemstar last decade
Please update status on 30th. No more doses.

Hi there!

I have had no more herpes outbreaks in the last 10 days, though it would be unusual to get one so soon after the last.

Mentally I feel quite good, and physically I feel good too- im not unusually tired, cranky or angry/sad.

The mouth ulcers have healed and have not returned.

One thing I have noticed (which I forgot to mention in my original post) is that I have had a flare up of a pilonidal cyst ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilonidal_cyst ) . I have had this for years and it caused me a lot of trouble in my 20's, but has not flared up in quite a while. I is slightly inflamed, but not as severe as it can get.
 
Gemstar last decade
Good progress. We will just observe for now. Please report back after a week. No more doses.
