Are herbs able to cure the herpes simplex virus 1&2? or will natural herbs just control the symptoms? will eating a healthy diet eliminate the virus? turmeric, enchincea, elderberry? what about a blood purifier herb? (burdock root) ?

No treatment, herbs or otherwise will eliminate herpes virus from the body. Once a person gets infected with herpes, it stays in the body for the rest of one's life. Visit this site for information:https://medlineplus.gov/herpessimplex.html

Nothing cures HSV, and no herbs or other "natural" remedies have any effect (despite many claims, e.g. online). If you have HSV1 and/or HSV2, the only reliably effective treatments are oral antiherpetic drugs like acyclovir, valacyclovir or famciclovir. Depending on symptoms or protecting partners, either periodic treatment (for an outbreak) or continuous (to prevent outbreaks) may be appropriate.

Despite unsubstantiated anecdotal claims on the internet, no herbs, homeopathic, or foods will cure the Herpes virus. There are medications that can affect the seriousness of an outbreak. Consider consulting with an Virologist.
