To help clear up acne or outbreaks of herpes or cold sores, use plants of the menthe family, those being mints and lemon balm. Drinking them (lemon balm is best) as tea improves the immune system and weakens the virus's ability to infect cells. Topical application of the same tea (you could just put the cooling tea bag onto the skin) is also effective. While no medicine will ever truly remove herpes, the symptoms can be controlled.
A few warnings, mint is a volatile herb. While most people will not have a problem, drinking too much of the tea can cause problems. If you start to become windy (it also has a "positive" impact on digestion) then mint may be to blame. However, mint will only cause this if your diet is causing colonic sluggishness already.
