Hello Sorry to hear you’re dealing with burning and pain even after your herpes blisters cleared up! That constant stinging and nerve pain can be really draining, but I’m here to help. With the right support from both Ayurvedic and regular medicine, we can get this under control. YOUR CONCERN – You had herpes sores that healed in about 9 days. – Since then, you’ve had intense burning and pain. – This has been going on for 2–4 weeks. – No obvious triggers. – You just started taking Giloy, Neem, and Tulsi juice. This sounds like typical post-herpetic inflammation and nerve irritation, where your skin looks fine, but the nerves underneath are still inflamed. WHAT AYURVEDA SAYS In Ayurveda, herpes is similar to Visarpa, mainly caused by: 1. Pitta + Rakta Dushti This causes: – intense burning – heat – redness – soreness even after wounds heal 2. Vata involvement After the blisters are gone, Vata gets worse in the nerves, leading to: – stabbing pain – burning – tingling – hypersensitivity So, what you’re feeling is: Pitta heat + Vata nerve irritation That’s why the pain sticks around even when your skin looks normal. WHAT WE WANT TO DO – Ease the burning and heat – Calm the nerve inflammation – Keep post-herpetic neuralgia away – Boost your immune system – Prevent it from coming back AYURVEDIC PLAN INTERNAL MEDICATION 1.Guduchi (Giloy) – keep taking it → 20 ml twice a day with warm water 2 Neem + Tulsi juice – keep taking it → 15 ml twice a day before eating Add these: 1 Kamadudha Ras(plain) → 1 tablet twice a day with coconut water (Helps with burning and Pitta in the blood) 2.Kaishore Guggulu → 2 tablets twice a day after eating (Cleans the blood and helps heal herpes) 3.Ashwagandha capsule → 1 capsule twice a day after eating (Eases nerve pain and burning) EXTERNAL CARE Apply Shatadhauta Ghrita OR coconut oil with a tiny bit of camphor → Gently put it on the painful area 2–3 times a day This cools Pitta and calms nerves. DIET PLAN ✅INCLUDE – Coconut water – Rice, moong dal – Bottle gourd, ridge gourd – Pomegranate – Milk & ghee – Soft, warm foods ❌ Avoid – Spicy, fried, or sour food – Alcohol – Eggs, fish, red meat – Tea, coffee – Smoking LIFESTYLE TIPS – Stay out of the heat and sun, avoid sweating – Wear loose cotton clothes – Don’t scratch or rub the area – Get good sleep — nerves heal at night IMPORTANT If the herpes pain lasts longer than 4–6 weeks, it can turn into post-herpetic neuralgia — which is chronic nerve pain. So, getting it under control early is key. If the pain is too much to handle, your doctor might add some short-term nerve-calming meds — this won’t mess with the Ayurveda. You’ve already done the right thing by starting Giloy, Neem, and Tulsi Now, by balancing Pitta and Vata, the burning should slowly get better over 10–20 days. You’ll feel better – it can get better Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

In herpes, the virus irritates the nerves, not just the skin. So even when boils/wounds disappear (usually in 7–10 days), burning, stinging, or nerve pain can last 2–4 weeks — sometimes longer. This is called post-herpetic neuralgia–type pain. -Giloy, neem, tulsi are okay but not enough You need an antiviral -Use cold compress, loose cotton clothes, no rubbing -Internal Medicines Guduchi (Giloy) Ghana Vati – 500 mg 👉 1 tab BD after meals with lukewarm water Neem (Nimba) Ghana Vati – 500 mg 👉 1 tab BD after meals Kamdudha Ras (Plain) 👉 1 tab BD before meals with honey or water Ashwagandha Churna – 3 g 👉 At night with warm milk/water Avipattikar Churna – 3 g 👉 At bedtime with warm water (if burning/pitta high) - External Application Shatadhauta Ghrita or Kumari (Aloe vera) gel 👉 Apply gently 2–3 times daily on painful area Pathya (Do’s) Light, cooling diet Plenty of water Loose cotton clothes Apathya (Don’ts) Spicy, oily, sour food Alcohol, smoking Heat exposure, friction ⚠️ If pain is severe or not improving in 7–10 days, modern antivirals are strongly advised along with Ayurveda. - antiviral (Acyclovir 👉 400 mg orally 2 times/day for 7–10 days) -For Burning / Nerve Pain Pregabalin 👉 75 mg at night (if severe → 75 mg BD) -For Pain / Inflammation Paracetamol 650 mg → up to 2–3 times/day Take modern only when getting no relief
