Potent anti-viral which targets the HSV-1 and 2 (Herpes Simplex 1 and 2) virii. Symptoms include fluid-filled blisters which form in clusters and then continue to spread, fatigue, irritability, low-grade fever, slow healing of cuts, infections around the fingernails and whitlow. This virus is carried from person to person in body fluids such as saliva. Infection often occurs during childhood when well-meaning relatives subject children to kisses. Once the virus has entered the body, it ‘creeps’ along neural pathways and establishes a ‘home-base’. HSV-1’s site of latency preference is the trigeminal ganglion, a collection of nerve cells near the ear. From this spot, outbreaks tend to occur on the lower lip or face at times when the body is under stress or the immune system is compromised in some way. Most often HSV-2 targets the nerves at the Sacral Base. This blend is designed to kill the virus along the neural pathways and in the bundles where the virus resides.
