Home remedies for herpes encompass treatments originating from natural or household ingredients aimed at alleviating symptoms of the herpes virus, such as antiviral herbal extracts applied topically.
These treatments hold relevance as they offer potential alternatives to conventional medications, provide natural antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties, and have been passed down through generations of traditional healing practices. A historical development of note is the use of aloe vera, known for its antiviral and wound-healing properties, to soothe herpes lesions.
