Home remedy for a cold sore? please assist!?
Answer:
Zinc has be shown to reduce the frequency and severity of cold sores- but it is best for prevention fairly than as a treatment once you have a cold sore.
Vitamin C can also relieve. It is a tissue healer (as is zinc) and can be used both on the cold sore and by taking the tablets internally. Zinc should not be used directly on the cold sore.
Cold sores are part of the Herpes virus- this does not plan that if you have cold sores you also enjoy genital herpes. So anything that is going to give a hand reduce a virus is also going to assistance with cold sores. The one that I own found best for this is St Johns wort- taken internally or the oil (if you can attain it or make it) used topically on the cold sore. However if you are going to whip St. Johns Wort internally it is best if you are not taking other medications as St. Johns Wort can interact beside quite like mad of other medications.
This isn't a home remedy, but near is an over the counter drug called Abreva (I hope I am spellding it right) that made my son's horrible cold sores disappear almost overnight. It be a little expensive ($15-20) but I never saw anything work so express and so well. Good luck!
try superlysine- that stuff is really appropriate. Red Marine Algae is also very correct.
