Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a ubiquitous and troublesome skin condition. It is characterized by blistering sores that eventually burst and leave a painful, ulcerated base. There is no known cure and herpes often reoccurs throughout a person’s life. Although oral antiviral medications are generally well-tolerated and convenient, some patients prefer a more holistic, immune-supportive approach to treat and prevent flares. This course discusses naturopathic remedies for both the prevention and treatment of HSV.
Learning Objectives
- Review the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and standard of care for HSV infections
- Compare dietary approaches for the prevention and treatment of HSV infections
- Recognize the value of topical botanical and nutraceutical-based treatments for HSV infections
