Herpes And Ayurvedic Treatment
Originally posted 2021-10-22 07:28:05.
Two viruses transmitted through direct contact cause Herpes. The virus stays dormant and gets activated at times of stress. Two kinds of herpes simplex virus (HSV) are HSV type 1 and HSV type 2 leads to Herpes. The virus causes mouth blisters or blisters in the genital region. HSV-2 affects the genitals, while HSV-1 affects the mouth.
Based on Charaka acharya, herpes that limits to tissues and skin can be treated. Also, herpes that affect blood, skin and lymph are successfully treated. But herpes affecting internal organs such as the brain can’t be treated. Here we can see the causes, symptoms and factors of herpes being described from an Ayurvedic perspective.
Person’s Pathology
If a person indulges in the mentioned activities of the body’s three doshas like controlling neurons, nerves and related physiology, Pitta can control and regulate the cell metabolism of the body while Kapha is the element-binding tissue that strengthens the body and is imbalanced in Herpes.
The imbalanced doshas spoil or vitiate
- Lymph (lasika)
- Blood (rakta)
- Muscle (mamsa)
- Skin (twacha)
Ayurvedic Treatment
Balances Vitiated Tissues and Imbalanced Doshas :
If the body suffers from a disease the balance of three doshas gets disturbed. Balancing doshas serve as the first step of treatment. It is achieved by administering medicines that balance the initiated doshas of diseases. All the three doshas are imbalanced in genital herpes that vitiate blood, skin and lymph. Blood, skin and lymph gets purified with herbal preparations that metabolize toxins. AAMA accumulates in lymph and blood due to imbalanced doshas.
Herbal preparations detoxify lymph and blood that expels initiated doshas and toxins from lymph and blood. If lymph and blood gets purified, the tissues and skin get rejuvenated. It reduces inflammation, tingling and burning sensations. Clinical trials prove that administering these preparations reduces the frequency of attacks.
Rejuvenating Body And Boosting Immunity
Based on Ayurveda, the disease not only affects a specific organ but affects the entire body. Therefore the entire body must be treated. The body must be rejuvenated after balancing the doshas.
The body’s immunity gets boosted through rejuvenation to fight recurrent attacks of diseases. Ayurvedic preparations rejuvenate the body if suffering from herpes. The body’s immunity can be boosted with Rasayanas. These rasayanas are herbal preparations that strengthen the body to resist diseases.
The preparations of Rasayanas balance vitiated doshas of blood and skin. If vitiated doshas of skin gets balanced their attacks reduce. Duration of attacks extends considerably. The preparations boost the body’s immunity and rejuvenate the body’s tissues by nourishing them.
Local Skin Treatment
Besides balancing doshas and rejuvenation of the body, treating specific organs affected by disease is crucial. It is known as local treatment or sthanika chikitsa. This is achieved in genital herpes through applying herbal paste and cleansing the affected areas with herbal decoction.
The affected skin can be rejuvenated through the application of herbal pastes. This can rejuvenate the skin and restore the skin’s colour. It can also reduce the skin’s local inflammation adding resistance to attacks. Skin’s tenderness vanishes and skin’s discolouration fades bringing back the natural colour.
Lifestyle And Diet Modifications
These can rejuvenate the mind and body and increase the resistance to attacks. Modifications reduce attacks and control mental emotions and stress.

- Immune disorders
- Surgery
- Physical trauma
