Glycyrrhizic acid and herpes?
My standard list for patients includes:
licorice powder 1-2 TBSP orally
lemon balm topically (not in the eye!)
garlic 2 cloves
lysine 4-8 grams a day.
Please discuss this list with your local doctor for interactions. The herbs all prevent herpes growth in test tubes and we have a few small human trials. The major oral side effect is upset stomach.
I hope this is helpful. For ocular herpes I would have the constant care of an optometrist as your eyes are too precious to damage.
