Perhaps you are currently using one or the other of these treatments. Wonderful. But, quite often, the greatest success is found by combining with new remedies and fine-tuning for your specific needs.
- CO-Q 10 - A very powerful supplement for your total health. Helps to greatly increase healing oxygen to your cells. Use the form called Q-Gel in high absorption soft-gels. Take internally every day. Cut open and apply the liquid directly to the sore area for fast results.
- VITAMIN C - Very important support for fighting and preventing cold sores or any viral attack on your body. Small, frequent doses totaling 2000 to 8000 milligrams per day is the best course. Vitamin C must be taken with bioflavonoids or you are wasting your money.
- SAGE and GINGER - A paste or tea made from sage and ginger, applied frequently with a cotton ball, often clears up sores quickly. If you can find sage and ginger in a herbal tea bag, just wet it and hold it to the sore.
- CLEAR NAIL POLISH - You can apply to the area before the outbreak - when it first starts itching - to stop a cold sore in its tracks. The polish will peal off naturally in a day or two.
- ZINC - Known as the healing mineral, zinc is powerful against cold sores. Your daily multi-vitamin usually includes a small amount of zinc. For better therapy, suck on zinc lozenges. Applying zinc directly to the sore helps if you use zinc sulfate or gluconate.
- ALCOHOL - A great universal antiseptic for keeping the area as sterile as possible. It also helps prevent secondary bacterial infections. Use a cotton ball or swab to protect your fingers from contamination and spreading the sore. Throw-away alcohol pads are available and very handy for work or travel.
- CAMPHOR - Topically applying camphor with a cotton ball or tissue often reduces symptoms and can give immediate relief. A good source for camphor is a product called Campho-Phenique. It contains a numbing agent that helps reduce pain too.
- GARLIC - Down through the ages, garlic has been one of the most powerful and well proven remedies for any illness caused by virus, bacteria or fungus. Both an internal and external remedy for cold sores. Fresh is best. Cut a clove and rub the fresh oil on the cold sore. Use fresh garlic cloves in your salad.
Cold sore home remedies are many. These are just a few of the very best. You will find, as others have, these cold sore home remedies will work better, and for less cost, than expensive commercial remedies.
Because we are all individuals, some remedies work better for one person than another. By trying these - and combining them in different ways - you will be able to develop the best cold sore home remedies for your particular needs.
