Cold Sore Witch Hazel
natural remedies for cold sores?
I woke up this morning with a horrible cold sore. Are there any remedies to help get rid of them faster? I already took 2 L Lysine pills, I applied witch hazel and tea tree oil too it, and i sucked on a green tea bag. Any other suggestions?
lysine, hands down. At first sign of that itch/ tingle, I take 4 500 mg tablets of lysine and then 2 every 2-3 hours after that. I can stop it from even errupting if I do that. I usually don't have to take the 2 hour doses for more than a day and then I cut it to 1 in the morning and 1 at night for a day or so.
If I can't get to the lysine and a cold sore pops up on me, same thing. It seems to ease the pain and I can tell when its time to take another dose when the sore starts to throb.
I also got some lysine containing salve from a local drug store that works well but most anything to keep it moist works.
Since I started treating them with lysine(about 25 years ago) I don't get them nearly as often, only maybe once ever couple of years and they never last very long. I am never without lysine and it is cheap and available at Kmart, Walmart, Target.
