Genital herpes

by | Aug 2, 2008 | Columns, Wise Woman Ways | 1 comment

Hi Susun,
I have genital herpes and am also chemically sensitive. I have had very few outbreaks, and usually cannot even see a sore at all when I have the pain in my genital region. Right now I have what feels like a herpes outbreak but I did not get the typical nerve pain warning before the sore. Can you recommend some natural approaches to soothing the inflamed area? Blessings.


Karen Joy’s response (apprentice to Susun Weed):
Sometimes herpes outbreaks can be quite mild, so much so it is hard to know whether it is one. If it is this Hypericum perforatum (St. Johns’ Wort, St. Joan’s Wort) is wonderful, and will not hurt to try if it is not. Oil made from Hypericum fresh flowering tops can be used topically as often as wanted. This is true if in the future you feel the tingle before the itch and burn. Be sure to not put your hands in the oil and to wash your hands after applying in case it is a herpes outbreak.

Concurrent internal use of Hypericum tincture, made from the fresh or freshly dried flower tops increases the benefits. There is concern this tincture may decrease effectiveness of birth control pills or some antidepressants, if taken at the same time. If using the tincture, take a dropperful as needed, every hour while acute, then three times a day for a few days before and after. Most though who have mild outbreaks or only the warning of onset, can used the oil and tincture for half a day then be fine.

love and blessings, Karen Joy

    HOW MY MOTHER HERPES WAS CURED WITH CANNABIS OIL/MARIJUANA

    My name is Marie, I live Slovakia. My mother have been suffering from herpes and she have gone through many medical treatment and it did not work. My brother who works in the clinic told me about cannabis oil and its curing effect in treatment of herpes and cancer. I purchased the cannabis oil from UK by emailing ukcancerresearchcentre@gmail.com and they gave me instructions on how to use the cannabis oil for the treatment of herpes. After using the oil for the duration of time given, my mother was totally free from herpes but i was advised she takes the oil continuously to maintain good health and reduce high blood pressure. I am so happy now that my mother is free from herpes and if you are out there suffering from herpes, cannabis oil is the only natural remedy to cure herpes and stop wasting money and time on other medication
