Since there is no known cure for herpes, the best one can do is quickly get through the breakouts.

- Using two cups of Epsom salt, mix in your bath water and soak twice a day for 30 minutes. Follow up with peroxide and let air dry.

- Cold sore treatments (like Lystine) can help with herpes as well. After following the Epsom bath instructions, apply the cold sore treatment and allow to it soak in for a few minutes. Cover with baby powder/cornstarch to keep the area dry.
