Herpes remedies is typically a reference to at-home options for treating a herpes outbreak. At-home, or homeopathic, treatments for a herpes outbreak are essentially limited to treating the physical discomfort caused by a herpes outbreak, and do not end a herpes outbreak or speed up healing. Methods for actually clearing a herpes outbreak involve the use of either prescription or nonprescription herpes specific treatments. Typical herpes remedies include aspirin for pain relief, the application of ice to the outbreak area, and soaking in a warm bath, perhaps with oatmeal bath treatment added.
