A Herpes Case Studay

Mel is a 33 year old lady who has a herpes breakout a year and a half ago. When it flared up, her pains were irritating, burning, and interefering with her daily routines. She has been coming to our clinic for variety of reasons but started herbal treatment when she had a recent reoccuring flare-up with herpes a few months ago. Her body responded to our herbal treatment very well so she continued to get herbal formula for Herpes Prevention. She had success with acupuncture treatments, too. But she found herbal formula less invasive to her body.
