I wish to share my own "home" remedy, that has transformed my life and relationship with my herpes. The discovery of 9-volt battery has been a true gift from God.
How does it work? Electric current kills herpes on contact. Just press it and hold for a minute or so, until you are done. Just coming outbreaks take shorter to zap, full blown outbreaks may require several minutes. Depending on location, it may sting a bit sometimes (just stop when you need to and then continue), but I like the sensation as I feel it really working! More sensitive thin mucous membranes may get tiny burn marks but don't freak out. They will heal perfectly just in couple days (usually the old sking just peels of).
You will feel and see it INSTANTLY. The itch will stop, the outbreak will flatten and shrink and it's not gone within couple hours or so it's usually all gone within 24 hours. I like to speed the healing proces with Simplers Herp Aid essential oil blend.
