Genital Herpes Natural Treatment

By Lisa On October 19, 2009 Under Featured News, Herpes Information

Lysine is one genital herpes natural treatment that is being used to help treat and prevent herpes outbreaks. Lysine is often referred to as L-lysine and it’s an amino acid that is essential in order for the body to stay healthy and grow properly along with many other benefits. Unfortunately, it can’t be made by the body so, it has to be obtained from the foods you eat.

Research shows that a person with the herpes virus is more susceptible to outbreaks when their body is low in lysine. A lack of lysine in the body can even help to activate the herpes virus, if your diet is also high in arginine at the same time. The reason lysine works as a genital herpes natural treatment is because HSV is activated by high amounts of arginine but the lysine blocks it and helps to prevent the virus from being reactivated. Lysine is also used to treat shingles because it’s caused by the herpes zoster virus. In fact, any form of the herpes virus can be treated by using this amino acid.

There is a list of foods that you can eat which contain lysine but you also have the option of taking supplements if needed. Using supplements can help to speed up your recovery when you’re having an outbreak making it an excellent choice. However, it’s important to realize that lysine is recommended to be used as a complete program. In other words, it’s used in combination with supplements for your immune system, a good diet and herbs.

If you have the herpes virus, then you may want to talk to your doctor about lysine supplements as a genital herpes natural treatment and whether or not it’s right for you. It’s always best to be on the safe side by discussing anything you take with your health care provided to make sure it won’t interfere with anything else that you’re taking.
