Question: Is there any natural thing I can take to subside the symptoms of the herpes virus. I really do not want to get a prescription for this. Any herbs I can eat to lessen the outbreak ? First Name: DI

Hi Di , yes there are some very promising herbs that have helped many .

Here is the list , and brief description -- and for more info, I have included links to the site.

Olive leaf Extract -- many studies done worldwide have shown Olive Leaf extract

Effective against many viral , bacteria , the studies are on going , but looks promising --

Consider this formula

Olive leaf may possess antimicrobial properties. NSP Olive Leaf Extract is standardized to 12% oleuropein, the key active ingredient.
It specifically enhances the Immune System with its powerful neutralizing constituents, without harming beneficial bacteria.

Supplemental Olive Leaf extarct often helps with viral,bacterial, fungal, and protozoan infections including influenza, the common cold, Epstein -Bar Virus, Hepes simplex types 1 and 2 ,

Next consider Alli biotic -- a blend of herbs including Olive leaf extract

To Allisure., we've added Elderberry Extract, Olive Leaf Extract and Oregano Oil - three natural compounds that have been used extensively to provide sound immune system support. ImmunoEnhancer AG is a non-digestible soluble fiber from Larch that has been included as a prebiotic supplement and helps in supporting healthy intestinal flora - a key component of immune response.*

And last but not least - consider Silver Shield --

We get so many good reports on this formula --

FOR MODERATE TO SEVERE INFECTIONS: Systemic and/or chronic conditions, especially for Candida or Parasites use Silver Shield. (Bacterial, Viral, Fungi, Ulcers, Diverticulitis, Colitis, Bladder, Prostate, /Gum, etc.) Take 1 tsp. full strength oral dose every two to three hours. Hold under tongue 1 minute then swish in mouth for 10 seconds then gargle 10 seconds and swallow.
