The word "herpes" (Greek for "creeping skin disease") describes a class of viral infections known for the periodic vescular skin eruptions that persistently plague most sufferers. The class is so broad that for the our purposes, we are restricting our discussion to the two most common kind: herpes simplex (which includes genital herpes, or "Type 2") and herpes zoster (shingles), which although not life-threatening, is a regular source of irritation to those who have it. (So as not to confuse simplex with its herpesvirus cousins: one strain of herpes, called "herpesvirus simian encephalomyelitis" or "B virus," occurs among veterinarians and laboratory workers who come into contact with infected monkeys. It is almost always fatal.) Herpes simplex is marked by thin-walled vesicles that tend to frequent the same area -- often where the mucous membrane joins the skin. Herpes zoster causes the inflammation of the posterior root ganglia of just a few segments of the spinal or cranial pheripheral nerves. The trunk is most often affected, but the face may also be involved. Incubation lasts 7 to 21 days; recovery varies from 10 days to 5 weeks, where children tend to recover faster than adults.

	erpes, for our purposes, means the most common types: Herpes Simplex, Type 1 and 2, and Herpes Zoster (shingles). There are a number of herbal traditions, indigenous to Asia and North America, with a long history of use. Neem has been used traditionally for thousands of years. (See page two of our Neem Common Use Table.)	Note: This information is provided for educational purposes only and is not intended to replace the use of a qualified health care professional. We strongly recommend the use of a physician for the diagnostic phase of any treatment. With an accurate diagnosis in hand, we believe the consumer, at that point, has a basic, unalienable right to seek out factual information on all therapeutic approaches, both orthodox and alternative, and choose those approach(es) that are right for them. Nonetheless, a "good doctor" should be considered a requisite starting point. Top of Page
