Can homeopathy cure herpes?

Homeopathy has a specific theory of sexually transmitted diseases, and refers to genital herpes by the name 'figwarts', because they are shaped like figs. Most homeopaths will claim to have experience curing genital herpes, and many people have found STD conditions cured by homeopathy. One of the main homeopathic medicines for genital herpes is Thuja, available in any natural foods store. Claims notwithstanding, there is no hard scientific evidence that homeopathy has ever cured ANYTHING, let along genital herpes which has no known cure. (I'm not saying that homeopathy is, necessarily, worthless, just that there's no proof that it isn't.)
