Natural treatment for vaginal herpes

Douse baking soda on the sores with the help of a cotton ball. This will reduce the itching by drying the sores. Take precaution not to contaminate the fresh lot of baking soda.
Dust the sores with cornstarch with a piece of cotton. This also provides relief from itching and dries the moisture.
Consume one cup of peppermint tea to get reprieve from fever and pain.
Cover the sores directly with a cold and wet tea bag. The tannic acid in the tea helps in soothing the area.
Crush a few pieces of ice cubes and put them in a thick plastic bag or a piece of thick cotton cloth. Apply it lightly over the sores for 10 to 15 minutes. Repeat this process many times a day. Ice provides relief from pain but take care not to overdo it as overexposure to cold can sever the tissues.
Cotton balls soaked in milk speed up the healing process and also reduce pain.
Use vinyl condoms so as to prevent its spread to the partner.
Keep the area dry and wear lose underwear.
Do not bathe in a bath tub as the virus can spread the infection.
Eat nutritious foods and maintain personal hygiene.
