What Are The Ayurvedic Medicines For Herpes?
A friend of mine (male- age 53) has just been diagnosed with herpes. He doesn t seem to have genital concerns, but has breakouts from time to time around his mouth. My best guess is that his constitution is Kapha (1), Pitta (2), Vata (3) and he seems to be functioning there....but I expect his Pitta is growing with his concern for his health. He also was made aware of higher liver enzymes on his last blood test. Can you provide a good Ayurvedic Remedy? Thank you. Laurie Mortenson

1. since genital concerns are not an issue, oral Herpes (HSV1) infection can occur to anybody and co-exists in presence of Genital Herpes.
2. kindly rule out the possibility of HIV also. Oral herpes can be confirmed by certain lab test taken smears from ulcers or vesicles and also by certain blood test. Your physician will help you in this regard.
3. do not wear clothes over the lesions, avoid friction.
4. In Ayurveda we manage the disease on the line of 'Agni visarpa' and result oriented prescription will be:
.Mukta yukta kamdughdha ras 500 mg, 4 times a day [before food with water]
. sareevadya asava: 30ml, three times a day
. avoid: fried,spicy and non veg foods, milk,rice,ganji,sprouted cereals, vegetables may be taken
PS. strong guggulu combinations and Trikatu should be avoided in post herpetic neuralgia.
