Natural Cold Sore Remedies

Natural cold sore remedies are effective in eliminating the problem without the use of prescription drugs or simply waiting for self-resolution. Cold sores are not the same as canker sores. It is important to know the difference because treatment options are different. Cold sore treatments are effective for skin irritations on the lips, gums, or roof of the mouth. Canker sores appear on the tongue or walls of the mouth. Unlike cold sores, canker sores are not contagious. Using any form of natural solution takes research and communication with a doctor to ensure the combination of synthetic and natural solutions will not cause adverse effects. In addition, if supplements are taken incorrectly a person may experience much worse effects than the initial problem. If treatment is effective, complete relief is found within 10 days of their first appearance.

Many options line the shelves in general grocery stores as well as natural health food stores. The FDA does not generally regulate these products; therefore careful research on any company or product is important before purchase. Sometimes local companies distribute or make these cold sore treatments from home. Even with local companies quality control should be seriously considered before purchase. Because the FDA does not monitor these companies there is no one requiring accuracy of labeling or content. The only REAL way to ensure the quality and accuracy of any natural cold sore remedies is to grow them at home. This is not always possible due to the climate and geographic area some cures grow in, but components such as lemon balm, peppermint, Echinacea, black currant, Resveratrol, and rhubarb are easily grown in almost any backyard or kitchen garden. Other cold sore treatments include lysine, Reishi and Astragalus, Propolis, self-heal, and Undaria pinnatifida. Resoveratrol is a compound naturally found in red grapes that can be consumed by eating the red grapes themselves. In fact, none of the above-mentioned backyard remedies need special attention such as attainment of high temperature or chemical mix with another component. Eaten raw when its first harvested is the best way to ensure all the required nutrients stay within the food. As with most cold sore treatments, if self-harvest is not possible or desired, pill, cream, and oil forms are available. Lysine can be consumed in supplement form or through daily consumption of red meat, milk, eggs, cheese, wheat germ, brewers yeast, and fish. In addition foods rich in arginine should be avoided in order for the consumption of lysine to absorb to its full potential. These foods include chocolate, peanuts, and almonds. With lysine in a persons bloodstream the body can more effective at fighting disease overall, but particularly the spread of the herpes simplex virus. Lysine ointment and supplements are also available at most health food stores. Even when a person decides to take their medicine via food consumption they should consider purchasing organic or at least natural foods to ensure the best quality of self-care.

Lemon balm taken regularly cures and may even prevent future instances with its natural antiviral properties. Reishi is a mushroom grown in Asia, but is available through supplementation at 600 milligrams twice a day. Again, this remedy has proven to prevent suture breakouts. Used with other synthetic drugs such as aspirin, warfarin, or other prescription drugs may cause adverse effects. As mentioned above, consult a doctor before starting any new diet or supplementation efforts. Astragalus is sometimes used with Reishi to boost the immune system fighting against even more complex herpes infections. Peppermint oil applied directly on the area of infection immediately starts to kill the infection creating quick recovery and decreased chance of reoccurrence. Peppermint oil has shown dangerous and even deadly effects in some people. Use carefully as prescribed by a doctor and never apply within the mouth thus eliminating the chance of ingestion, which could be deadly. Propolis is another solution, which is made by bees and can be self-harvested or bought as a supplement. As with all the other natural cold sore remedies, taken regularly prevention of future breakouts are possible. Self-heal is a perennial plant frown in China and Europe, which proves to have the same effects, although has also proven effective in the herpes simplex 2 as well as 1. Wherefore I pray you to take [some] meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you. (Acts 27:34)

Tracking the progression of natural cold sore remedies means paying attention to the progression of the infection. There are 5 stages of this infection including: the tingle/prodome stage. Blister stage, weeping stage, crusting stage, and final healing stage. The first stage includes tenderness, inflammation, and firmness. The second stage is the visible stage. This usually occurs within 2 or 3 days after the initial onset of infection. The weeping stage occurs after the blister pops and a flat red sore remains. Scabbing generally occurs shortly after the blister pops and might bleed if irritated. The final healing stage should leave no scar or color irregularity. If either of these occurs, consult a doctor for further infection examination. Although a cold sore may have initially occurred, additional infection or disease can occur if immune system functioning is low or additional exposure to toxins occurs. Ignoring this problem can lead to very serious health issues such as cancer, long-term disease, and even death. Any health problem not responsibly addressed has very serious consequences.
