Echinacea and goldenseal have antiviral and astringent properties. They also stimulate the immune system, help detoxify the blood, and soothe irritated mucous membranes. Take one dose of an Echinacea and goldenseal combination formula supplying 350 to 500 milligrams of Echinacea and 250 to 350 milligrams of goldenseal three times daily during a herpes outbreak. A liquid formula is preferred because it is more bioavailable, meaning that the body more readily uses it. You can also use this remedy topically to help dry out the lesions.
