Even though herpes is not a disease with life threatening consequences, but it is still persistent, pervasive, painful, and definitely embarrassing. As per the resources, the viral disease has attacked around 60 to 90 percent of the total US population and the numbers will only increase[i]. While it had remained overshadowed by other dangerous illnesses such as AIDS, its harms were only later discussed in detail when herpes lesions were reported to have the power of increasing the risks of contracting AIDS[ii].
Traditional Curing of Herpes
Unfortunately, the traditional methods of controlling, avoiding, and treating herpes have been proven to be rather risky. Most of the current prescriptions available for herpes treatment are not only expensive but also rather ineffective in case of certain individuals. Moreover, they are said to have severe side effects as well. Therefore, it is only natural to look for natural methods to treat the present symptoms of the illness as well as avoid the future outbreaks of herpes[iii].
Stress—the major cause of Herpes
Once the herpes virus enters a person’s system, there are chances of it remaining dormant unless it attacks again. In most cases, the herpes virus is triggered if there is weakness in immunity. One of the most common reasons behind a weak immunity is stress. Therefore, avoiding stress can save you from Herpes.
Other major triggering agents of herpes include menstrual periods, sunburn, sun exposure, and illness or fever. Controlling Herpes Naturally
