Home Remedies for Herpes

Epsom Salt Bath

Soaking your body in a bath of salt solution would ease the pain caused by herpes. Doing this would provide two benefits: relax your body to fight against the infection better and keep the affected areas clean. The inclusion of Epsom salt would boost the healing effects and speed up the recovery process. Make sure to dry yourself thoroughly after the bath. Otherwise, excess moisture would worsen the symptoms. You can do this with a towel or a hairdryer. Also, wear cotton cloths rather than synthetic fabrics after bathing to absorb moisture better. [2]
