Home Remedies for Herpes

Baking Soda

To promote healing and speed up the recovery process in people with herpes, it is important to keep the affected areas dry. Moistures and water would make the viruses spread quickly and worsen the condition. Baking soda is a simple option to achieve this goal. With drying properties, you would use this ingredient to dry out the genital areas. It can be purchased easily at any supermarket or grocery store. You just need to use a cotton swab or cotton ball and apply the powder to the infected spots. Be careful and use with moderation to avoid contamination. [3]
