Cold sore home remedies are your best course of action against this painful and unsightly herpes sore. Here are some of the best cold sore home remedies.
- LYSINE -- Lysine is quite effective in treating cold sores. You will get the best results if you take it orally. lysine in salves does not absorb very well. It has difficulty getting inside the cells - where it needs to be.
- B VITAMINS -- We know stress is the main trigger for cold sores. B vitamins are known as the stress vitamins as they reduce the effects of stress on our bodies. These are water-soluble vitamins that need to be replenished every day. Particularly important is B-12. Use those under-tongue lozenges for this vitamin.
- ALOE VERA -- A miracle product in many ways, Aloe Vera is one of the better cold sore home remedies. The sap inside the leaves provides healing power straight from nature.
- CLEAR NAIL POLISH -- Some people have told me they apply clear nail polish at the first itching sensation and it slows down the sore from developing.
- ACIDOPHILUS BACTERIA -- Acidophilus, taken both internally and applied externally, is a very powerful one-two punch against the cold sore virus.
