Home Remedy For Cold Sores
The definition for cold sores is a blister near lips: a small painful blister on or near the lips, or sometimes the nose, caused by a virus Herpes simplex. Also called fever blister. The definition for herpes is a viral skin disease: a viral infection causing small painful blisters and inflammation, most commonly at the junction of skin and mucous membrane in the mouth or nose or in the genitals. The virus that causes cold sores never goes completely away, but lies dormant in the body and can be activated by stress or an allergic reaction to foods. For instance, I usually have a break out after eating anything that has evaporated milk in it. I love mashed potatoes or macaroni and cheese cooked using canned milk. It just doesn't love me. When I have a break out, it is characterized by big unsightly blisters around my mouth and lips that itch. Over the counter products for cold sores claim to decrease healing time, but they do very little for me. My blisters are usually still present 7 to 10 days after beginning treatment applications. The virus must still run its course. Over the counter products are expensive, but if you get good results with these products, then they are well worth it. If on the other hand, like me, you get little results, its best to look for an alternative method. Just so happens I know about one.
I get better results from using a home remedy that is both inexpensive and simple to use. In fact, you may have the two ingredients needed for this remedy at home already. This home remedy was given to me by a co-worker who had been told about it by her grandmother. Since it has been around for a long time, you may have already heard about this solution. OK, here it is. Take a little milk and boil it a minute. (I usually just stick it in the microwave for about 30 seconds.) After it cools, dab the milk onto your sore or blister. Next, take some camphophenic and dab it on the sore or blister. Do this several times through out the day. If it is still in the sore phase (no blister), it should clear up in a day or two. If blisters are already forming, it may take 3 or 4 days to heal. Start treatments as soon as you suspect an out break is occurring and you will get better results. I add an additional source to the remedy, which is meditation. Stress is the number one cause of out breaks for some people and if you can help eliminate the stress, you can eliminate the out breaks.
