The ABC Homeopathy Forum
outbreak free for 8 years!
Years ago I was interested in the benefits of Cayenne pepper, so I started taking cayenne capsules after reading a book from the Cayenne Trading Co. I dont know that it helped anything however I had been getting simplex one outbreaks 5 or 6 times a year, so out of frustration I opened a cayenne capsule took a little cayenne on my finger added a little water and made a paste out of it and put it on my sore, It burned like H___ , so I did it again the next day, did not burn as bad,I had another outbreak about a month later, I applied the cayenne again, It did not burn half as bad, the third minor outbreak I applied it again, It did not hurt. And have not had a breakout in 8 years now.
This worked for me, and it may very well work for simplex two, I dont know, never had it but I would give it a try. Regular cayenne pepper may not work, and you may have to get some from the net or a health food store where the heat factor is more potent.
I hope this can help someone out there. Jerry

Dear Jerry:
Homeopathy has employed cayenne as remedy for a long time. If you like to know his actions, read it:
CAPSICUM ANNUUM
Cayenne Pepper
(CAPSICUM)
Seems to suit especially persons of lax fiber, weak; diminished vital heat. A relaxed plethoric sluggish, cold remedy. Not much reactive force. Such persons are fat, indolent, opposed to physical exertion, averse to go outside of their routine, get homesick easily. General uncleanliness of body. Abstainers from accustomed alcoholics. It affects the mucous membranes, producing a sensation of constriction. Inflammation of petrous bone. Burning pains and general chilliness. Older people who have exhausted their vitality, especially by mental work, and poor living; blear-eyed appearance; who do not react. Fear of slightest draught. Marked tendency to suppuration in every inflammatory process. Prostration and feeble digestion of alcoholics. Myalgia, aching and jerking of muscles.
