HSV Symptoms Inside the Vagina

DAY		Propolis	Acyclovir	Nothing
3	Crusted lesions	15	8	0
7	Healed	10	4	3
10	Healed	24	14	12

The scheme for the women was to administer propolis ointment spread onto a tampon four times per day for ten days. The results obtained were impressive: as can be seen from the Table, at Day 10, 24 had healed using propolis, compared to 14 for topical acyclovir and 12 for no treatment (the control group).

Many of the women had concomitant bacterial infections in addition to their HSV symptoms and these were reduced by about 50% in those using propolis. The ointment used contained 3% refined, concentrated propolis. Beeswax and protein were removed during the propolis refining process.

Standard propolis liquid is 50% propolis and 50% propylene glycol. The idea is that a tampon could be used to carry this propolis solution into the vagina. A suitable supplier is:
