Actually, it can. Garlic is among the most popular remedies for herpetic whitlow. Firstly, you must peel and chop a whole head of garlic and add it into a glass of hot water (80 °C). Cover the container and let it infuse for about 3-5 minutes. Place the affected parts in the mixture and soak it until the water completely cools off, then filter the mixture and apply garlic pulp to the affected area and tie it with a bandage.
You can also treat whitlow with onions. Take one medium sized onion, peel it, cut it into two halves and bake in the oven till it is soft. If you have no oven, you can boil the onion with milk; place the cooked onion on the festering bulla and apply a bandage to keep it in place. The medical dressing must be changed every 5 hours. Onion helps purulent bulla to ripen and release all the purulence.

I was diagnosed with HepB 3 months ago and was devastated by the news. I have been ill and sore for over 10 years, with no one being able to figure out what was wrong with me. It was always written off as a virus or infection. Then 2 years ago the severe muscle cramps started. I had them from scalp to toes, and it was when they ran the full spectrum of tests to figure the cramps out, that they discovered the HepB along with severe Vitamin D deficiency, which I link to the HepB. I was so tired and nauseous and in constant pain. I am just sick and tired of feeling sick and tired!!nothing was really working to help my condition.I went off the Sebivo (with the doctor’s knowledge) and started on hepatitis B herbal formula i ordered from Health Herbal Clinic, my symptoms totally declined over a 5 weeks use of the hepatitis B virus natural herbal formula the disease is totally reversed!!
