ABSTRACT:
A water extract of homogenized Cryptosiphonia woodii is useful for the treatment of herpes simplex viral infections. The active agent in the extract is a polysaccharide containing glucose and galactose.

It may involve topical application to alleviate symptoms associated with herpes infections or desirably may be systemic, e.g. by oral administration, to eradicate the virus and thereby prevent symptom recurrence.
