Genital herpes can be successfully healed under the skilled hands of licensed and qualified acupuncturists and Chinese medicine practitioners using acupuncture and Chinese herbs.
What is Genital Herpes?
A disease that affects the genital region of a person, genital herpes is caused by an infection of the herpes simplex virus. In the United States, this infection affects about one fifth of females around the age of 30 and about 20 percent of the adult population in this country. Genital herpes can be communicated by skin to skin or sexual contact. It may fester and more often than not infect the other parts of your body, particularly the eyes, fingers, and skin, as well as the internal organs and even the brain, if the condition is not immediately treated. A person infected with genital herpes may suffer a recurrence of symptoms two to four times in one year.
Drugs that can treat genital herpes include Zoviran (Acyclovir), Valtrex (Valacyclovir), and Famvir (Farmciclovir). They may be taken orally or applied directly over the lesion. These medications are usually not 100% effective especially when the patient is suffering from a chronic type of herpes infection.
Chinese Medicine Treatment And Acupuncture in Spokane for Genital Herpes
Chinese medicine has been shown to work against genital herpes. It is able to kill the virus, remove the skin rash and lesion, and, alleviate the pain. In addition, Chinese medicine can help prevent the recurrence of genital herpes by reinforcing the constitution and strengthening the body of the patient. Actually, compared to conventional Western treatments, Chinese medicine yields more benefits to the patient. It also produces quicker and more efficient results for people infected with genital herpes.
From the viewpoint of Chinese medicine, genital herpes is caused by heat and dampness building up in the liver and gallbladder organ systems and energy channels. The practitioner or acupuncturist treats the condition by first eliminating the heat and dampness with Chinese herbal remedies. One such remedy is a commonly used formula called Long Dan Zie Gan Tang. It is made up of herbs with antiviral properties that can be used to clear heat and dampness in the liver and gallbladder that destroys the virus completely.
Chronic or frequent outbreaks of herpes can be due to factors such as constitutional weakness, stress, fatigue, menstrual irregularities, and seasonal changes. An herbal formula called Zeng Chi Fu Sheng Wan can be used to strengthen the kidney and cure the problem. A formula known as Bu Shong Yi Qi Zhong Wan can be utilized to tonify spleen qi. Both formulas can help boost the patient’s immunity and prevent the infection from recurring.
A miracle Chinese herb called Sarcandrae has powerful virus-killing properties that can destroy or at least, control the herpes simplex virus. It may take two to three days to see some results when using this herb. It works for both acute and chronic infections and can alleviate the pain and the rash. Eventually, all of the symptoms completely disappear one to two weeks after taking the herb. The Sarcandrae herb is a very popular plant used by acupuncturists and Chinese medicine practitioners alike who use it after all conventional treatments prove unsuccessful.
For some strange reason, no scientific research has ever proved the efficacy of sarcandrae in curing herpes. However, hundreds of patients and clinical evidences show this herb’s usefulness in curing this infection contradicting the results of these scientific studies which just proves the bias the Western scientific establishment has against alternative natural therapies. Sarcandrae has even shown to be a very powerful remedy for HPV (human papilloma virus) and other herpes infections. Perhaps, the greatest benefit of this plant is that it has no side effects whatsoever.
Another cause of genital herpes for some people is the buildup of too much toxins in their body. After six to eight months, with the help of Chinese medicine, these patients can expect a complete cure of their condition. But although they may be completely cured of their rash and pain, they still need to keep on getting treatment until their overall state of well-being has improved.
