Cold Sore Home Remedies:
5 Top Home Remedies for Cold Sores
by Denny Bodoh

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.  This is primarily an internal treatment and one of the most popular cold sore home remedies.  Wisconsin cheese, and other dairy products, is rich in lysine.  But most people use lysine supplements - 500 milligram capsules.  They are very convenient and the dosage is much more controlable.
  
  Don't be fooled.  Lysine in salves doesn't absorb very well and is of very little use when placed directly on the sore.  It has difficulty getting inside the cells - where it needs to be.  More about  Cold Sore Lysine.
   

• B VITAMINS -- We know stress is the main trigger for cold sores.  B vitamins (along with vitamin C) are known as the stress vitamins.  They reduce the effects of stress on your body. Particularly important is B-12. Use those under-tongue lozenges for this vitamin for best absorption through the membranes in your mouth.  (Most of B-12 is destroyed in the digestion process.)
  
  B and C are water-soluble vitamins that need to be replenished every day.  You will get a therapeutic quantity of the B vitamins in any high quality vitamin supplement.  Look for around 25 - 50 milligrams of most of the B vitamins on a daily basis.  If your current vitamin does not provide these minimum levels, look for another brand of supplements.   
   

• 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.
  
  Do not waste your money on bottled Aloe Vera gel for cold sore application.  You will not get good results.  You want the live gel from the leaf of a live plant.  Every home should have one of these plants.  The gel heals any break in the skin amazingly fast.
   

• GARLIC - Can be used internally as well as externally for excellent results.  For external application use only fresh garlic cloves - either crushed or cut - and apply the oil directly to the sore.  Garlic has the unique ability to pass through the skin and get right to the source infection.
  
  If you just don't like garlic smell, buy some oregano oil at the vitamin or health store.  It won't work quite as well as garlic on your cold sores but you will get pretty good results.  Many of my people claim it is their favorite.
   

• ZINC - Zinc is the healing mineral and is one of the more helpful cold sore home remedies.  For putting directly on the sore use the more absorbable zinc sulfate. This is important as most forms of zinc will not absorb well.  An even better form of zinc for this purpose is the zinc used in those zinc lozenges for colds.  You can wet one and rub it on the sore.

  Taking zinc internally is also a very good way of stopping and preventing cold sores.  The best way to get the proper amount and not overdo it is by taking a good quality vitamin and mineral supplement.  Look for about 15 to 30 milligrams for a daily dose.  If your vitamin does not contain at least 15 milligrams of zinc, find a different brand.
