• Organic Neem
  Studies in Europe show that Neem is toxic to herpes simplex viruses. Neem exhibits antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and astringent properties. The leaf and oil of this tree has been used for centuries in Southern Asia for maintaining beautiful and healthy skin.
• Organic Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis)
  A well-known powerful herpes remedy, Lemon Balm, also known as Melissa, contains antiviral and antibacterial properties. Lemon Balm relieves itching, burning, swelling, and redness; it also reduces scarring from viral and bacterial-related wounds. Only the highly precious pure essential oil of organic Lemon Balm is used in making Sepreh.
• Organic Aloe Vera
  Aloe penetrates the skin carrying a myriad of healing properties. Aloe increases circulation and draws immune cells to the affected area as well as stimulating the growth of new skin tissue. It is a highly effective remedy for relieving burning, itchy skin. Researchers have found that aloemodin, a compound in aloe, actively kills the viruses that cause herpes and shingles.
• Wildcrafted Prunella Spike
  Recent laboratory tests have shown that active ingredients in Prunella Spike stop intracellular infection of herpes simplex viruses I and II – the herb stops the herpes virus from binding and growing within cells. Prunella also aids in healing wounds from viral and bacterial eruptions.
• L-Lysine
  This amino acid inhibits the herpes virus by counteracting arginine, an amino acid that the virus needs for replication. Often taken internally as a supplement to strengthen the immune system and combat herpes, Lysine is also used externally for treating herpes and is commonly found in herpes balms and in European skin care formulas.
• Organic Seabuckthorn Oil
  This ancient Chinese herb has been used for centuries to treat skin conditions. Seabuckthorn oil works as an analgesic, cell regenerator, and bacteria killer. Modern tests have proven its effectiveness in the inhibition of many forms of bacteria, including E. coli, Bacillus dysentery, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Typhoid bacillus, and human Demodex (a parasite of the skin).
• Organic Mullein Leaf and Flower
  A potent herb that exhibits anti-inflammatory and antiviral activity. Laboratory studies show that Mullein infusion helps combat genital herpes and cold sores. It is a key ingredient for the repair of skin that has been damaged from viral and bacterial infections.
• Organic Peppermint
  Used for centuries in the West as an antiviral, antibacterial, and analgesic agent, recent research has shown that Peppermint oil applied directly to shingles lesions helps reduce itching and pain. Peppermint also stimulates cells for the removal of toxins and waste products.
• Organic Shea Butter
  A solid, whitish vegetable fat derived from the pit of the shea tree. Shea Butter is renowned for its moisturizing, soothing, and rejuvenating effects on the skin. The Shea Butter added to Sepreh comes from West African trees that are between 25 and 50 years old. It is harvested exclusively by indigenous African farmers who do not use chemicals or pesticides.
• Licorice DGL (Glycyrrhiza Radix)
  In traditional Chinese herbal medicine, Licorice is used as a carrier herb within a formula for the smooth delivery of the other herbal ingredients throughout the body. As a herpes fighter, studies have shown that licorice stimulates cell production of interferon, the body’s own antiviral compound, that inhibits the herpes virus.
• Wildcrafted Rosemary Extract
  Rosemary extract is included as a natural preservative to extend the shelf life of Sepreh. It is also a powerful antioxidant that aids in nourishing and healing the skin.
• Distilled Water
  Chemically pure water, free from organic matter and harmful impurities. Water is boiled into steam and this steam is then cooled and condensed back into pure liquid water, leaving all harmful impurities and organic substances behind in the boiling chamber. We use freshly made distilled water when creating each batch of Sepreh.
• Organic Oils of Olive, Palm, Coconut, Jojoba, and Avocado
  Only the finest organic base oils are used in making Sepreh. In an age where many therapeutic soap companies are cutting costs by using inferior, chemically-laden oils, Herbal Wisdom, Inc. is committed to providing its customers with the finest organic ingredients. Feel the difference on your skin. Feel what a quality herbal soap with true organic base oils can do for you.

Our Philosophy for Choosing Organic Ingredients
We believe that plants and herbs grown without the use of chemicals and pesticides are the healthier choice. When you rub toxins on your skin, they can pass straight through and enter your bloodstream, weakening the glands, organs, and cells of your body. We at Herbal Wisdom, Inc. are extremely concerned about this problem and have worked hard at establishing good relations with organic farmers and suppliers so that we can make Sepreh with superior organic and wildcrafted ingredients. This choice is healthier for you and for our environment.

Indications and Directions

Why a Herpes Soap or Why Use Soap to Fight Cold Sores?
One of the advantages of using soap to treat cold sores over, say, a balm or essential oil (or combination of oils), is that it is easier to apply the formula to large areas of the body. One can easily treat the affected area and the surrounding area, thereby preventing the virus from spreading. Hard-to-reach places, such as the buttocks and back of the thigh, can be treated without difficulty. The skin is not a barrier; it is an absorbing organ that takes substances such as nutrients, medicines, oxygen, chemicals, viruses, bacteria, and other toxins directly into the blood stream. Using warm or hot water in the shower or at the sink opens the pores, which become especially ready to absorb Sepreh's cleansing and healing properties. Using conventional soap, particularly during an outbreak, will just add harmful chemicals to already compromised and damaged skin cells. Sepreh Cold Sore Soap is designed to cleanse and detoxify. Sepreh washes away dead cells, organic and inorganic toxins, and other unwanted debris while fighting the herpes virus.

• Avoid sweet foods. Start by eliminating sweets from your diet, such as cookies, chocolates, cakes, ice creams, candies, donuts, and soft drinks. Products with white refined sugar should be avoided. After the benefits of this sugar-free diet are felt — fewer outbreaks and less tingling in areas where the virus is usually active — you will be motivated to stay the course and avoid sweets more regularly. Sweet, highly sugared and refined foods are toxic to the body and when eaten regularly often exacerbate symptoms of herpes.
• Eat more broccoli, cabbage, and brussels sprouts (preferably which have been grown organically). Recent laboratory studies of monkey and human cells have shown that a compound found in these crucifers — indole-3-carbinol — inhibits the herpes virus from replicating.
• Before and after engaging in sex, it is a good idea for you and your partner to wash with Sepreh. Although there is no guarantee that this will prevent the virus from being passed, it certainly lessens the risk and promotes good hygiene, which is important for all sexual activity. Use latex condoms and do remember that if lesions are active, avoid intimate sexual contact altogether.
• Drink pure water, especially well-filtered or distilled water. Microwater or alkalized water is also excellent for hydrating the system and flushing morbid matter and toxins from the body. The fewer toxins in your body and the more alkalized you are the fewer outbreaks will occur.
• If you eat a lot of cooked foods, try taking food-enzyme supplements with your meals. Make certain these supplements, preferably from fruit and vegetable sources, include sufficient amounts of Amylase and Lipase, which help dissolve and digest fats, including the fatty walls surrounding herpes viruses.
• Eat more cranberries.  Researchers have recently found that a compound in cranberries — Proanthocyanidin A-1 —
  inhibited viral attachment and penetration of herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2), which commonly causes genital herpes.
• In addition to using Sepreh as an external application, try taking an internal antiviral herbal supplement, such as olive leaf extract and lemon balm, or red marine algae, or aloe vera. Lysine supplements may also prove beneficial.
• Engage yourself in a daily routine of physical exercise. Exercises such as Tai Chi, Chi Kung, and Yoga not only build body strength and flexibility, but they also improve mental clarity and calm, which in turn reduces stress on the nervous system. When nervous stress is reduced, outbreaks will be far fewer.
• Maintain a positive mental outlook. Having herpes is not the end of the world. Your reaction to it, if extremely negative, however, can make it appear so. Work on your self everyday (your diet, exercise, intellect, and spirit) and you will find new strength not only in dealing with herpes, but also in dealing with life's many challenges. Having herpes can in many ways be motivation for working on your self and thus improving the quality of your life.

Sepreh Cold Sore Soap, our flagship product, combines the healing power of plants and herbs for combating herpes simplex viruses with the time-honored tradition of handcrafted soapmaking. It takes our master soapmakers nearly five weeks to craft a bar of Sepreh. Each bar is made in small batches and prepared in ceramic bowls specially designed for Herbal Wisdom, Inc. No reactive materials such as plastic or metal ever come into contact with the precious ingredients: metal is considered taboo in the preparation of traditional herbal remedies. To preserve the enzymes and potency of the ingredients, the temperatures used in making Sepreh do not exceed 98 degrees. It is labor intensive, we know, but it is a labor of love. The act of making healing herbal remedies is our meditation in creating a healthier world.
