the herpes simplex virus (HSV) and can only offer pharmaceutical
solutions that help ease the pain and speed up recovery from a
genital herpes outbreak. For those that don't want to turn to
medication to manage a lifetime of outbreaks, several holistic
and natural remedies may offer a safer alternative.

treatment resources and studies have shown that naturally
occurring plants and foods are effective at managing herpes
outbreaks:

indole-3-carbinol)
