Also PC, I've been doing some reading on essential oils and found this that looks promising and you may want to add it to your DMSO spray:

Melissa and the Herpes Virus
One of the Lamiaceae plants studied,
Melissa (Melissa officinalis - also known as Lemon Balm), was shown particularly efficacious against the
herpes virus (HSV). Doctor Dietrich Wabner, a professor at the Technical University of Munich, has even reported that application of Melissa oil led to a
complete remission of HSV lesions
. A cream medication for Herpes outbreaks, who's active ingredient is an extract of Melissa, is now sold in Germany under the name Lomaherpan. Use of Melissa essential oil itself may be just as effective - the oil can be applied directly to the lesions (or diluted to 10% in carrier if sensitivity is noted) to speed healing. Further occurrences can be prevented by applying oil to the area when sensations signal an eminent outbreak - repeating this protocol 3 or 4 times may cause total remission.
Other essential oils found effective against the Herpes virus include
hyssop, bergamot, eucalyptus, lemongrass and tea tree. There are more than one variant of each Herpes Simplex virus, and the condition of each individual's immune system varies greatly. If one oil does not seem to be effective, another may be called for, or a blend can be made.
Hope that helps you some more.
