Herpes Simplex Nosode

The attenuations of this nosode are prepared from inactivated Herpes Simplex viruses (adjusted to 10 ⁶ plaque-forming units per ml).

One result of research into viral diseases has been that the herpes virus has ac- quired great importance, even in the origins of neoplasms. Malignant disease of the womb in particular is said to show a close relationship with earlier herpetic infec- tions generally, so that it would seem expedient to use the Herpes Simplex and Her- pes Zoster Nosodes in cancer of the womb also.

The Nosode is also said to be of use particularly in influenzal illnesses, since her- petic conditions (on the cheeks, around the mouth) frequently appear in these; like- wise before, during and after menstruation. It should also be tried in shingles with typical neural localisation in segmental areas. The Herpes Simplex Nosode can also be used in cases of post-herpetic neuralgia following remission of herpes zoster and in those very difficult to treat – alongside the otherwise indicated homoeopathic remedies (such as Mezereum, Rhus Tox., Ranunculus, Vaccininum, Variolinum, etc.).
