Herpes can occur following an immune problem, so the immune system needs to be strengthened. Medicinal mushrooms such as maitake, shiitake, reishi, or truffle will boost the immune system.
What the science says: warts, herpes, and fungal infections, boosting immunity
What published research says about the remedies mentioned above, for context — the studies address material causes, while healing belongs to Allah.
Warts, herpes, and fungal infections
Local treatments for warts (salicylic acid, cryotherapy) were evaluated in a Cochrane review (JMIR Dermatol, 2021); on the natural side, tea tree essential oil, garlic, propolis, and vinegar are used for their antimicrobial properties (Antioxidants, 2023) (Arch Dermatol Res, 2023). Precaution: dilute essential oils; a nail fungal infection or scalp ringworm often requires prolonged medical treatment; do not scratch or pierce.
Boosting immunity
Echinacea reduces the risk and duration of the common cold according to meta-analyses (Lancet Infect Dis, 2007) (Clin Ther, 2006); vitamin D in people with a deficiency (BMJ, 2017), zinc from the first symptoms, and cough-soothing plants (Forsch Komplementmed, 2015) round out the natural arsenal — along with the honey, black seed, and beehive products dear to the professor. Precaution: echinacea is not recommended in cases of autoimmune disease or immunosuppressive treatment; a persistent high fever or breathing difficulty calls for a medical consultation.
