H BALM - Have you tried it yet?
I used H Balm for
the first time last night
 I was
having severe outbreaks around the anus without medical insurance -
bought every cream around without help - tried h-balm and got
instant relief - pricy - yes - but I fear medication absorbed by the
liver since I also drink. This works - I'm going to make a mixture
of the listed ingredients to save costs an will leave further
feedback - but, for me - this stuff was a freaking "silver bullet".
I bought some
H Balm daily from a
health food store and thought I would use it in hopes of preventing
future outbreaks. I don't know if I am allergic to something in its
ingredients or if I just used too much, but I have itching and
redness and burning now. I was feeling better after I got the
Valtrex from my doctor and should have just waited it out
because now the H-balm has given me a whole new array of symptoms
and I was getting better! Irritating to say the least, in more ways
than one! I don't recommend the product myself. I am taking a
daily vitamin, eating right, getting eight hours of sleep or more
every night, and trying to cut back on the stress level. Hopefully
this will help curb outbreaks because I will NOT be using the
H-balm.
Just thought that I would mention to
ya'll before you think about trying
H Balm via Forces of Nature that
I personally have difficulty getting them to answer any of my
e-mails. The last e-mail that I sent out to them was on October 10,
2006 and they still have not written me back. So, you might want to
be careful where you order this stuff from. Remember, it's not a
clinically proven herpes antiviral. So keep that in mind when you
are attempting to treat your outbreaks. However, I can totally
understand if you decide to try it to treat your pain. But then
again, if you are in pain a can of dermoplast might do the trick
too.
I personally can not attest that
H Balm cures HSV, or eliminates or inactivates the HSV virus as
proclaimed. I did however purchase and use
H Balm Extra Strength to see
what this was all about. I am not on any antivirals what-so-ever. So my
experience is pretty much from a clean slate. Healthy eating (very),
lots of sleep, and a daily multivitamin was my treatment.
I had quite a big outbreak. I probably
should have hit the doc's and gotten an antiviral, but due to various
reasons I was unable to get to my doctor. By the time I got home and
H balm arrived a few days later, the outbreak was just past peak. Still
quite bothersome this is what I found: Application
with a cotton swab was the easiest and cleanest method. I think it
wastes the least of this expensive stuff too. Don't
slather it on! This stuff is pretty strong and a few drops goes a
long way. It stinks
to high heaven. If you like various aromatics or incense odors, you
may even like it. My wife likes the smell. I think it stinks, though
it does smell much better (not too bad) after it airs a bit. A nice
soothing effect that apparently lasts quite a while. Knocked the
itching and squirmy feeling right out.
I tried
calamine (calohist) - relief didn't last very long. it was ok.
Gold Bond
Medicated Powder - real nice menthol feeling, but not very effective.
Sometimes the menthol was strong and made me sweat.
Sweat = itching + discomfort. Combining the two seemed to do better but only
lasted maybe 4 or so hours without additional powder. *apply calamine,
dry, then powder, and powder
again as follow up.
I could easily
go 8 to 10 hours on an
H Balm application. And I really didn't stink too
bad at work ;P Clothing kept it at bay I guess. When at home though I
applied more frequently.
It can burn or
feel warm upon application. I found it best to apply on clean skin.
Take a shower. Dry yourself well with a towel. I even follow up with a
blow dryer. Sometimes I wear shorts to further 'air out' for a while
before application. Seems to absorb better that way. Use multiple swabs
if you need to. I hope rubbing the swab around like that on an active
outbreak
won't spread the virus to uninfected parts. To prevent this I tried to
stay within bounds of the outbreak. If you have an outbreak near your
anus.. don't go spreading the swab down there and back up to the
genitals and elsewhere. You might spread bacteria around. Think clean
and bacteria free.. it'll help with healing later. Oh, and I used baby
wipes to clean for future
applications (if I felt necessary). Works great!
After
application it provides a warm soothing sensation. You may have itching
symptoms for a little bit.. but give it a little time. For me symptoms
were soon gone and I was VERY comfortable. Wear comfortable clothes and
cotton underwear. Going freestyle is a bad idea due to chafing risk, and
loose shorts may move around too much and rub your oiled parts. That's
my opinion - do what works for you.
Did it cure the
infection? Well, I know I was a little past peak and starting to heal in
certain spots, but the outbreak was going pretty strong. Spots still had
lesions and blisters and continued for a few days while I applied
H-balm. It wasn't a 24 hour fix-me-up. However,
H Balm seemed to keep
things moist which helped with healing, and the relief it provided
prevented inadvertent scratching which could lead to damage, further
outbreak or trouble healing. So in a way it did help.
In no way could
I verify that it 'deactivated' the virus. I don't really believe this
claim - though I can't disprove it either. In summary: Its
expensive, but it helped a lot with my discomfort. I'll likely continue
to use it. If I have another onset, I'll try to apply it and see if I
can thwart an outbreak. Don't buy this thinking its going to cure you.
You may be expecting too much of
H Balm. If you want something that can
relieve itching that is herbal and chemical free, this is it. You can
apply this
stuff quite often and feel ok about it. If you are using something such
as
Lanacane from your local Pharmacy. Read the label. You should only
apply it some 3x a day. Some similar products cannot treat near the anus
(unsure about the vaginal area either). I guess the antibacterial agent
is bad for that region. The idea of spraying chemical products on the
nether regions frequently over a number of days isn't my thing.
H-Balm in my
opinion is great for providing relief, although at a rather high cost.
If you want to minimize the length of an outbreak. See your doctor and
get
Valtrex or another antiviral. I'll be doing that next time around.
I'd rather halt this thing ASAP. From start of outbreak to recession and
healing I've broken a good 11 days so far. That's longer than I'd like
to deal with it in the future. I may need another full week before I'm
fully healed.
