RESUMEN

Background: herpes simplex is a common viral infection of the skin or mucous membranes. The lesions caused by this infection are often painful, burning, or pruritic, and tend to recur in most patients. Short term treatment with acyclovir can accelerate the healing of an acute outbreak, and continuous acyclovir therapy is often prescribed for people with frequent recurrences. While this drug can reduce the recurrence rate by 60-90 percent, it can also cause a wide array of side effects, including renal failure, hepatitis, and anaphylaxis. Safe and effective alternatives are therefore needed


Aim of the Study: is to examine and provide evidence on the potent effect of alternative medicine in Herpes treatment and recurrence prevention


Patients and methods: 60 Patients were divided into 3 major groups according to the severity of the infection with 7 subgroups split according to the treatment protocol


Results: among 60 patients with varies severity, recurrence of outbreaks was significantly reduced when a combined therapy was used while 0-10 percent outbreak recurrence rate was observed for a year when alternative therapy was used alone for mild cases


Conclusion: there is evidence that certain dietary modifications and the use of alternative medicine can be significantly useful for treating active Herpes simplex lesions and preventing recurrences
