Some facts about the Herpes simplex virus- Let us discuss some misconceptions about the Herpes simplex virus. Let us discuss some misconceptions about the Herpes simplex virus many natural remedies haven't discussed earlier, but today we are going to discuss how these natural herpes home remedies are going to help you cure or suppress the cold sores and outbreak of the Herpes simplex Virus . Many people think that alcohol and Witch Hazel kill the virus and cure it forever. Alcohol and Witch Hazel are considered natural therapies for the Herpes simplex Virus. However, we have to consider the scientific facts related to the use of such natural therapies. first let us look into the witch Hazel. This has been known to be used as a medicine since a long time ago. It is believed to be very effective while treating the symptoms of cold sores and skin rashes. Looking intricately into its working procedure, it works more or less like the tea tree oil, by drying out the skin naturally and promoting faster healing. The best way to use the witch Hazel is by applying a few drops of its extract on the cold sore and then using a clean cotton ball to dissolve it into the skin, repeated a few times a day. Witch Hazel is considered to have a tendency to irritate sensitive skin, so a patch test is very necessary to avoid any further skin complications. The best procedure to use this treatment effectively is to apply it on the outburst as soon as it appears on your skin. Therefore, immediate application of the witch Hazel to the cold sore is the best way to avoid any severe outbreaks. Now let us look into another natural astringent available in nature. Alcohol is also widely used and believed to be very effective in treating the Herpes outbreaks. Alcohol is an effective drying agent and it evaporates quickly. So it is advised to apply alcohol on the particular cold sore area with a cotton swab and gently dab upon the outbreak area. However, it should be kept in mind that the alcohol solution should have at least 70% of composition of alcohol. Otherwise, the effectiveness of the solution proves to be lesser than expected. Apart from alcohol, the other effective drying agents are zinc oxide and calamine lotion. However, how drying agents work, is very interesting. As we know drying, agents have the tendency to evaporate quickly. Therefore, as soon as you apply the drying agent on the cold sore it evaporates immediately, leaving the area completely dried out. As such, there are no chances for the bacteria to be alive there and the cold sore area has the least chances and probability to transmit any further viruses. However, we are talking about the Herpes simplex virus here. Any kind of drying agent will be just a temporary solution to the outbreak stop as soon as the effects wear off, the virus acts immediately and the irritation re-emerges. Therefore, we should strongly consider these options as just a temporary relief from the pain, burning sensation and irritation caused by the outbreak. They are not the cure for the Herpes simplex Virus. The cure for Herpes is only your better Lifestyle, which includes nutritional diet, Healthier and disciplined routine, regular exercise and a stress free mind. Everything else is just a momentary solution to a larger problem. The most important thing to follow is self-confidence, proper knowledge and a hope to survive in the best possible way. You should not pay attention to floating rumours and be more self dependent and assured to treat the Herpes virus effectively.
