A 35yr old woman presented at the clinic with frequent viral infections and recurrent cold sore attacks including at least one annual attack involving 6+ cold sores over her lips, chin, cheeks and up her nostrils.  She had constant mild acne and had been trying to get pregnant for 5 months.  She felt constantly tired, irritable, anxious and mildly depressed.

Her diet was modified to minimise blood sugar fluctuations and increase her energy levels throughout the day.  Nutritional supplements and a herbal formula were prescribed to support her immune system and she began temperature charting for fertility.

One month later she had not had any cold sores or cold infections.  She had a lot more energy and felt significantly less grumpy and irritable.  Her skin was clearing up slowly and she still felt mildly depressed.  She was treated with a different herbal formula and Bach flowers to help address her emotional symptoms.  Six months later her skin was clear and she felt happy, optimistic, energetic and was 8 weeks pregnant.
