Herpes is a skin condition characterized by the formation of red, fluid-filled sores and blisters on the skin. It is caused by the Herpes Simplex virus. The blisters form on the face near the eyes, on the lips and in the mouth. In some, it also develops on the genitals, the buttocks, thighs and the pubic and anal regions. Herpes is an embarrassing condition and equally annoying because of the pain and itching sensation that accompanies it.

There is no cure for herpes. Once the virus enters the body, it stays forever and shows up in recurrent painful outbreaks. Antiviral medications only help to control the symptoms. There are a few home remedies that offer relief without the nasty side effects of strong medications. We've listed a few of them below.

1. Tea Bags -

Applying a cool, wet tea bag to the affected area will help soothe blisters caused by the herpes virus. Black tea is a rich source of tannin which is known for its anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties. As such, it helps reduce inflammation. You can also apply a cotton ball dipped in tea onto the affected area.

2. Honey -

Honey is regarded as another potential herpes treatment. It has been used for years to heal wounds because of its anti-microbial properties. You can apply some honey directly to the sores and blisters for immediate relief.

3. Baking Soda -

This is one of the traditional home remedies of getting rid of herpes sores. If the blisters remain wet, there are chances of an increase in inflammation. When applied to the affected area, it dries oozing blisters and reduces itchiness. Soak some baking soda in water. You can either apply the solution to the affected area with a cotton ball or soak the affected area in it.

4. Ice Packs -

If you are wondering how to cure herpes naturally, ice packs can come handy. A cold compress provides relief from pain, swelling and itching. Take some ice cubes in a plastic bag or in a thick cloth. Gently rub it over the infected area.

5. Aloe Vera -

Aloe Vera is a well-known herbal recommendation for herpes as well as common pimples. This is because of its natural healing properties. Slit a fresh leaf of Aloe Vera into half. Scoop out the gel and use it to coat the sore. Doing so will reduce redness and itching. You can also drink Aloe Vera juice.
