The manufacturer's claim that it would not work for type 2, only for type 1.
The ingredient they claim works is derived from a plant called Artemesia absinthium. It is also known as wormwood (because people used it to get rid of worms). It has a long history of herbal use, and is related to the spice tarragon.
If absinthium sounds like that Victorian era drink called absinthe, you're right. Artemesia absinthium was used to make the liquor. Its active componet is thujone, which has been shown to cause seizures in animals in high doses. Its a neural intoxicant that works by binding to GABA receptors and preventing GABA from binding. Thujone (and the herb) is illegal to add in food, the whole herb is not illgal to sell or purchase.
So far I've found nothing scientific which mentions thujone and herpes. I'm not having much luck in finding papers that show artemisia species can treat herpes.
