Do You Suffer From Frequent Cold Sores?
There are many remedies to deal with cold sores. I am going to touch on the ones that I have come across in this article. The fact with remedies is this. There are many variables. What will work for one person may not work for you.
The human body is amazing to say the least. In my case when I got cold sores it was an indicator that I was run down. I may have worked long shifts; I may not be eating properly or I maybe drinking too much coffee. My body was telling me that I need to improve my lifestyle and take care of myself.
So to begin you must understand that things happen for a reason. When you get sores on your body it basically says that you are not taking care of yourself. We often find our selves looking for quick solutions rather than understanding the problem. We get so busy with our lives and our day to day routine that we want a quick fix. Because we get so consumed we do not take a serious look at the way we are living our lives.
Like anything else a healthy lifestyle will definitely reduce the outbreak of cold sores. A healthy lifestyle means a healthy body. As for remedies, you can do the following.
Buy Aloe Vera in the cream or gel form. You can then dab this on your lip using a clean cloth or cotton ball. You do not want to use your hands in case they are not spotlessly clean. The last thing you want to do is spread it.
If you like green tea you will be delighted to know that not only will you get to enjoy the beverage you can also use the teabag once it has cooled on your lip. Then when you are cooking dinner use some garlic. Cut a clove open for yourself and apply to the sore.
You can take olive leaf capsules. You can also take grapefruit capsules. Another tablet you can use is called Lysine. Buy it in the 500mg form. Take 2 tablets as soon as you feel the all too familiar tingle. Then the following day take another 2 tablets.
Other oils you can look for is Manuka oil and oil of Oregano. Those are some remedies you can use.. Clearing up your cold sores will help you to feel and look better. If you would like more information on how to eliminate cold sores both now and for the future click on one of the links below.
