Cold Sore Triggers
Why does my cold sore keep coming back?
It heals with a fleshy pink color and then hours later it begins to lump up again and constrict the skin into three small dry patches. I had completely gotten rid of it today and as stoked that it had finally healed, only to look at it hours later and realize it seems to be starting all over again. Its not big ugly and hideously lumpy like other cold sores I have seen and it stays in the same area, but it really bothers me. Is it going through a die off effect, from my consumption of antiviral herbal medication and vitamin E, or it it being triggered by my highly acidic diet. If it is my diet, wouldnt it still be going through some die off effect, being that acidic foods like orange juice and what not boost the immune system, therefore attacking things like the herpes virus which causes it to flee and invade my lips. Can somebody with experiene in reoccuring cold sores please let me know what the hell is going on.
Hi DanKush
Here are some ideas to heal the issue. Also, for long term health be sure to do a colon and liver cleanse.
Natural Cures
Aromatherapy: Geranium, lemon, chamomile, tea tree, and/or lavender essential oils applied topically can help speed the healing process.
Diet: Eat a whole foods diet. Eat lots of fresh green salads, raw and steamed vegetables, cultured, fermented products such as yogurt and sauerkraut. Refrain from dairy products, sugar, white flour and other processed foods. Avoid citrus fruits, including pineapple. Buy organic whenever possible and please eat only organic animal protein.
Drink at least 1/2 your weight in ounces of pure water daily with either stabilized liquid oxygen added or water dispensed from an oxygen water cooler.
Flower Essences: The most useful flower essences for dealing with the accompanying emotional/mental stress of cold sores are Rescue Remedy®, Rescue Remedy Cream®, and Crab Apple.
Herbs: Herbs that boost resistance to cold sores by strengthening the immune response include the tinctures of Echinacea, Siberian ginseng, nettle, and goldenseal. Combine in equal parts and take 1/2 teaspoonful of this mixture three times a day. You can also externally apply diluted tincture of myrrh or calendula. Licorice root tincture applied topically has been shown to inactivate herpes simplex particles and inhibit the growth of the virus.
Topical Treatment: Apply vitamin E ointment or saturate gauze with vitamin E oil and apply for 15 minutes over the area of outbreak.
BHT, a natural food preservative, added to an alcohol solution is another effective topical solution.
Caution: The drug acyclovir is typically prescribed (both orally and topically) to treat cold sores. However, it may cause an increase in symptoms when it is discontinued. In addition, antiviral drugs can be hard on the body and especially the liver, making natural, alternative treatment approaches more advisable.
Cause
Herpes simplex virus is the cause of herpes. HSV causes cold sores on the lips and in the mouth and genital herpes in, on or around the genital area. Although once you contract the herpes virus you have it for life, you can stop outbreaks. They can be controlled and in some cases eliminated.
Nearly all people experience cold sores at least one time during their lives. After the first attack, the virus remains dormant in nerve cells, and can be reactivated later by stress, colds, hot weather, anxiety, nutrient deficiencies, or other illnesses, especially ones with accompanying fever. Prolonged cold sore outbreaks may occur in people suffering from compromised immune function or in healthy people who are under high levels of stress.
Herpes zoster, Coxsackie virus, low thyroid, and health problems that suppress immune function can all contribute to cold sore outbreaks, and must be addressed before long-term relief can be achieved.
Best of health to you
