It sounds like you are experiencing a challenging outbreak of herpes, which can be exacerbated by exposure to cold and harsh environments, particularly at a construction site. In Ayurveda, it is essential to boost your immune system and keep the affected area hydrated and soothed. Applying a mixture of coconut oil and turmeric powder can help as turmeric has antiviral properties and can reduce inflammation. You can also use Aloe Vera gel, known for its soothing and moisturizing effects, which may help alleviate dryness and promote healing. Drinking warm herbal teas made with ginger and Tulsi can also strengthen your immune system and help your body combat the virus. Additionally, maintaining adequate hydration is crucial, as it supports overall skin health. To provide more tailored advice, could you please share any additional symptoms you may be experiencing, such as fever, fatigue, or other discomfort?

Hey there, that sounds really uncomfortable. Herpes can be quite frustrating, especially when it keeps flaring up. In Ayurveda, such conditions may relate to an imbalance in pitta dosha due to its association with rashes, inflammation, and infections. Let's try some ayurvedic ways to soothe this.
Firstly, cooling and calming that Pitta can be useful. Consider incorporating natural, cooling foods into your diet, like cucumber, coconut water, and aloe vera juice. These can help reduce internal heat which might be aggravating the herpes. Avoid spicy, sour or overly hot foods as they might worsen Pitta.
Tripahala powder is a classic remedy in Ayurveda which supports immune function and can help cleanse toxins. Take about half a teaspoon with warm water, preferable at night. However, if you're taking any other medicine, you might want to check with someone who can confirm it doesn’t interfere.
Try applying a little turmeric paste - it's anti-inflammatory and can aid the healing process. Make a paste with a pinch of turmeric and water, and apply gently to the affected areas. Let it dry, it might sting a little but it's usually harmless.
Keep stress in check, as it’s known to trigger herpes. Practicing some calming yoga or meditation can really help balance the doshas. Also, being mindful of your sleep—getting adequate rest is critical for the body to heal.
And, don't forget the sun can be a trigger too. If you're working outside, a good natural lip balm with sun protection might help protect the lips.
Though Ayurveda offers great ways to support healing, if you're not seeing improvements or if things get worse, an immediate visit to a doctor would be smart, especially for persistent infections. Just important to play it safe!
