Multiple incidence of Herpes

[Guest guest]

treatment for herpes generally is often a treatment to pitta,

although both vitiations kapha and vata play a role - the pathogenic

dosha(s) are determined by the qualities of the illness:

 

-vata: pain, cracking dryness

-pitta: blistering, inflammation

-kapha: painless, colorless eruptions

 

each has a different treatment

 

for prevention and treatment, a healthy diet and lifestyle is very

important, avoiding stimulants such as white sugar and coffee/tea,

and getting adequate sleep

 

for simple treatments, the seed of oil of Karanja can be applied

topically

 

for something more specific, please indicate what kind of eruption

you have

vitiations of the doshas involved - that is ayurveda - herpes is

western medicine

check out the disease in ayurveda called visarpa

yes, it can, but there will be discrete features that indicate pitta

- while skin involves pathogenic defects in blood, which relates to

pitta, other doshas may be involved

that is the different between intelligent and unintelligent treatment

a skilled practitioner will know the difference
