How it works
Psychological stress suppresses cellular immunity, particularly T-cell function, allowing latent HSV-1 to reactivate in the trigeminal ganglion.
Stress management addresses triggers, not the virus itself. Most effective combined with antiviral approaches for frequent recurrences.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
