Natural Herpes Treatments... Trust Starts With The Tingle

Those who suffer from herpes outbreaks know that they are usually preceded by a tingling sensation

. This is the prodrome phase of a herpes outbreak and it is your opportunity to hit the herpes virus and hit it hard - to decrease the length and severity of an outbreak. As with any medical condition, you should always consult your physician, but it never hurts to educate yourself about conditions after they have been diagnosed. In the initial tingling phase of a herpes outbreak, the herpes virus is really just beginning to infect the healthy cells in the tingling area. This is the perfect time to immediately begin treating the outbreak and for you to consider the benefits of natural herpes treatments.

In most cases, your doctor will probably not immediately recommend a natural herpes treatment to you for the very simple reason that natural herpes treatments are not big business. Think about it for a second. Herpes is almost the perfect disease for a drug company - herpes is not fatal, there is no cure, herpes outbreaks are periodic, and it is highly infectious. While there's little doubt that large drug companies can and do produce effective treatments - for herpes and other diseases and conditions, most also have warning labels that include side effects that can be potentially worse than the disease itself. Conversely, most natural herpes treatments have minimal side effects, especially when they are organically produced - that is the medicinal plants were produced on farms that do not use toxic pesticides, insecticides or fertilizers.

When seeking treatment for any condition, ultimately you decide what is best for you. We might like to think others are always looking out for our best interests. If the global financial crisis is any indication - there are a lot of people and a lot of big businesses who apparently are unable to look out for their own best interests. Or, we might say that as taxpayers... we are looking out for their best interests. While that is a separate issue, the same issues proliferate throughout the entire US health care system, and in other countries, too. Much of this will have to be covered at another time, suffice that mankind has lived with diseases and have developed treatments for most of them for as long as history's been recorded. Only in the last few centuries has modern "synthetic" medicine replaced natural medicine as mainstream treatment.

Most synthetic medicines are based upon ingredients found within nature. Upon identifying the primary key ingredients that are effective against a disease, big companies find a way to manufacture those ingredients for far cheaper than they can be produced in nature - naturally, or even farmed. Diseases - viruses, bacteria, etc. evolve, like MRSA becoming increasingly resistant to ever stronger applications of antibiotics. The world we live in is not a controlled environment like a scientific lab. Yet, some very basic ingredients like Tea Tree Oil have shown remarkable effectiveness against MRSA and other skin infections. While this has no direct relationship to herpes, natural treatments are more than just a product, they are part of a philosophy that sometimes nature is the best at providing what we need.

More and more, people are beginning to become more aware and concerned about what they put into their bodies. This is an age where it pays to be skeptical - to examine things on your own and decide for yourself - what is best for you. When it comes to herpes treatments - consider the costs, the effectiveness, the possible side effects, and perhaps even convenience of use. Look at the warning labels - and decide what is safe for you. Seriously, is 95% avoidance of major side effects good enough? Is 99 or even 99.5% good enough? We can look at airline safety, for example - and despite there being only 6 - 7 incidents involving terrorism over 10 years, we are still "compelled" to increase airport security... even with a 99.999+% safety record on this matter. In comparison, whether you use synthetic or natural herpes treatments seems very small, almost inconsequential - except it is your health. It is up to you to decide which treatments you can trust...when you get that little tingling sensation.

In the midst of these early genital herpes symptoms, pain and aches in the body associated with swelling of the groins and glands are imminent. Tingling and itchiness in the genital area that will cause pain in the legs and buttocks can also be felt. The cycle goes on and on when there are recurrent episodes.

Early genital herpes symptoms are treated with antiviral medications. Antiviral medication can be of any form; topical of tablet. Antiviral drug including acyclovir, vaciclovir, famciclovir are among the proven drugs that works to shorten the course of the painful skin lesions and prevent future outbreaks. There are other alternative treatments that provide all the relief that conventional drugs can. These treatments involves natural supplement, Lysine, Aloe Vera, other plants and herbals and other traditional medicine that works wonders in treatment of early genital herpes symptoms.

When early genital herpes symptoms are apparent, you have to go to your doctor as soon as possible. It is always a good thing to get correct diagnosis first before treatment. It can be confused with other diseases having the same symptoms. Mistreatment can lead to further complications and it would be too late before you know what type of infection you have.
