In some cases of Herpes antibiotics may be called for to lower the risk of bacterial infection via open blisters on the genitals. This is true esp for Genital Herpes. 

Herbal Herpes Recommendations 

Currently, a cure does not exist for genital herpes. Some herbs may be used to alleviate conditions that can trigger attacks or symptoms of the disease. 

According to herbal expert Varro E. Tyler, Ph.D., echinacea used internally may bolster the body's immune response. Used externally, the herb may promote wound-healing. Esp in Genital Herpes

Commission E -- an expert committee on herbal remedies established by Germany's Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices -- has approved kava kava as an herb that can ease Herpes by reducing stress via its sedative effect. Do not take kava kava for more than three months without a doctor's supervision. Prolonged use can lead to a yellowing of skin, hair and nails. Do not mix with alcohol or other mind-altering substances. Allergic reactions have occurred in a few cases. 


Commission E also reports that chamomile flower and oak bark can ease ano-genital inflammation. This is useful for Genital Herpes. Use chamomile in a bath (50 g to 2.5 gallons of water) or in a poultice (3-10% infusion). Oak bark, which inhibits viral activity, can be used internally or externally ( e.g., as a compress -- 20 g to 1 liter of water). Some people may have an allergic reaction to chamomile since it does contain pollen and other allergens, so use the herb with caution, especially if allergic to ragweed or other plants in the Asteraceae family. Do not use oak bark in a full-immersion bath if you have weeping eczema, a fever-inducing and infectious disease or a cardiac condition.
