Herpes Ayurveda - #7490
I’ve been dealing with recurring outbreaks of herpes and am exploring natural ways to manage the symptoms and reduce the frequency of outbreaks. I recently read about herpes Ayurveda treatments that focus on immunity and dosha balance, and I’d like to learn more about them. From what I’ve read, Ayurveda identifies herpes as visarpa, a condition caused by vitiated pitta and kapha doshas, often aggravated by low immunity and stress. Are there specific Ayurvedic herbs, like neem, turmeric, or manjistha, that can help control symptoms like itching, burning, and blisters? Can these herbs also help in reducing viral load and preventing future outbreaks? I’m also curious about panchakarma therapies. Do treatments like virechana (purgation) or abhyanga (oil massage) help detoxify the body and strengthen immunity in herpes patients? Are these therapies recommended during an active outbreak, or should they only be done during remission? Additionally, are there dietary changes that Ayurveda recommends for managing herpes? Should I focus on cooling and immunity-boosting foods, like amla and coconut water, while avoiding hot, spicy, or processed foods that aggravate pitta? If anyone has managed herpes with Ayurvedic remedies, I’d love to hear your experience. How effective were the treatments in reducing symptoms and recurrence, and did you combine them with modern antiviral medications for better results?
