Looking for a Safe Natural Remedy

I'm looking for a safe natural remedy to get rid of herpes. When ever I get a really bad cold I always end up getting herpes in and around my nose. I think it must be from blowing my nose so much which cause my skin to become extremely agitated. My OB/GYN doesn't want me to use the Rx I have since I'm 14 weeks pregnant. I always feel extremely ugly when I get one and don't like to go out in public. With out meds I'm afarid it will take forever to clear up, since I still have my cold. So any help out there to help me clear up my nose...

Relief for My Mom :(

My mom has shingles and she is in a lot of pain. Along with the nerve pain, she also is suffering from burning and itching where the blisters are.

Experience W/ Colic Calm Gripe Water ? Prevacid/Zantac Not Working

My baby is 5 weeks old and was diagnosed a week ago with reflux (GER) which she's had probably since she was about 3-3.5 weeks old. She cries nonstop all day basically. She's on prevacid in the morning maalox max throughout the day (as needed) which provides very temporary relief (few minutes) and Zantac at night. It's been just over 5 days now and we're still not seeing much improvement. My ped GI said give it 2 weeks but that just seems ridiculous - you'd think by now I'd see a little improvement! I heard about Colic Calm gripe water....
