preventing herpes outbreak
Lysine, which is a dietary supplement, helps reduce herpes outbreaks quite well. Lysine is not produced in the body and is ingested normally in vegetables. Another way is lemon balm. It is well known by herpes sufferers to reduce outbreaks and quickly get rid of an outbreak. It can be found in health food stores. Just apply an amount that covers the area 2-3 times a day during an outbreak, or in accordance with the product label if given.
your client does experience an outbreak close to her due date, if she takes the following actions as soon as she detects the first signs (tingling, soreness), she can shorten the length of the outbreak: Remove all restrictive clothing (underwear, panty-hose, pants, etc.) so that air can circulate freely to the developing lesion. After peeing, wash and blow-dry the area gently. The goal is to get the wet lesion to crust over, after which it will heal quickly and no longer be a risk to the baby.

Herpes outbreaks occur, as I understand it, when there is a deficiency of lysine. To treat outbreaks, a woman may take L-Lysine 1000 mg three times a day for 5 days. It is more effective if taken at the first sign of outbreak (tingling or pain). She may then follow with L-Lysine 500 mg four times a day for the rest of the pregnancy for suppression therapy. In our practice, we encourage pregnant women to take lysine as described above for the entire pregnancy. It seems to be very effective and is an inexpensive supplement. Women should also emphasize foods which are high in lysine in their diets.
