In
herpes there is an involvement of three doshas (vata, pitta ,
kapha) and four tissues (blood, lymph, skin and muscle).It is
caused by imbalance of three doshas which in turn vitiate four
tissues .The ratio of involvement of doshas can be decided by
carefully examining the symptoms exhibited during a herpes
outbreak. For those who are not familiar with ayurveda and
concepts of doshas it may become difficult to diagnose herpes on
these principles. These symptoms are exhibited in genital herpes (HSV
2) and oral herpes (HSV 1)
