Herpes Simplex

What is Forces of Nature H-Balm?

H-Balm is a certified 100% organic treatment for herpes. Forces of Nature claims that the ingredients found in H-Balm are medically proven to deactivate the herpes virus on contact. H-Balm treatments are marketed as effective against all forms of the Herpes Simplex Virus – Oral Herpes, Genital Herpes and Cold Sores.

Forces of Nature

All Forces of Nature’s products are designed and formulated by the company’s founder Dr. Peter Klapper. Dr. Klapper is a field Biologist and is one of the leading proponents of developing natural medicine for common ailments. All the medicinal plant ingredients produced by Forces of Nature are certified organic by regional organic associations or sourced by Dr. Klapper from small farmers involved in biodynamic cultivation of medicinal plants.

Effectiveness Claims

The medicinal plant extracts used by Forces of Nature are lipophilic. They claim these lipophilic extracts can more deeply penetrate into the skin and bloodstream when applied topically. Forces of Nature claims the use of certified organic compounds ensures the strongest potency in every application and is also the safest for the body. The treatments are also touted as “pharmaceutical strength, and free from toxic herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers.”

Ingredients

H-Balm consists of a proprietary blend of several well known natural herpes preventing herbs including: Melissa officinalis, Cymbopogan Martini, Pelargonium graveolens, Cymbopogan citratus, Melaleuca alternifolia, Lavandula Super, Camphor, linalool oxide, geraniols, monoterpenes, Hypericum and other antiviral organic medicinal plant extracts. All these ingredients are certified organic as mentioned earlier.

Although little is offered by Forces of Nature in the way of scientific studies on their actual product, there are several studies that show these ingredients to have a positive effect on the immune system and herpes related symptoms.

Dangers

As you might imagine, there is little to worry about when using an organic product. Even products sourced from natural sources can have a negative effect on the body, but H-Balm does not seem to contain any compound or extract with which there are associated serious health risks. You must always take into account personal allergies and potential skin irritation but those risks are limited.

Benefits

Natural substances which have been certified organic definitely carry less risk of introducing foreign toxins like pesticides or hormones into the body. Many of the ingredients used in H-Balm do encourage immune health and could therefore help control the herpes virus.

Conclusion

The lack of foreign contaminants during the growth process in the herbs sourced to make supplements is a big selling point for many who care about environmental issues or who simply like to keep their bodies free of unnatural substances. That is very understandable; but, strictly speaking, there is little evidence to show organic ingredients as more effective than non-organic especially when it comes to topical treatments for herpes. The results you are going to see with H-Balm are similar to a number of other products on the market and are no more effective despite the claims to the contrary.
