Question

What is the natural way to get rid of a cold sore on my lip please don't say abriva.?

Answer 1

This was my answer 2 months ago but have since changed it as I've learned some new information. The additional protocal is below which works within days.

Whole Foods carries a line of essential oils called Simplers. They have a blend called Herp Aid. apply it as directed. If you have Essential oil of Lavender use that also If you can get oil of Oregano that is a kick-a$$ virus fighter. but make sure it's diluted in a carrier oil, like olive or almond as the direct application of the essential oil can irritate your skin. (I speak from experience in using it on my lip). Try not to poke it if it does develop into a blister. It can cause infection.

Lay low on acidic foods and drinks if you can...fried foods, wine, coffee to name a few.

New Protocol

I also include the simplers formula above and taking out acidic foods. If you have an herb shop you can go to that sells bulk herbs great. If not use all tinctures (herbal extracts) for the teas below.

Make a large amount of tea of licorice root and oregon grape root, large enough that you can drink 8 oz glasses 3x's a day.  You can drink it at room temp. To  each glass add 1 tsp of echinacea rt tincture and 1 tsp of skullcap tincture.

(the best way to make teas of roots is called a decoction. For the amount above, take about 1 rounded tablespoon each of the herbs and simmer, very low, in a pot in a quart of water for about 15 minutes.)

The tea is the best way as it flushes out the toxins but... if that's too hard just do tinctures of the 4 herbs in a small glass of water 4x's a day

WARNING do not use the licorice at all if you have high blood pressure

lysine suppliments can help speed recovery. For me, I double the dose that's on the bottle.

within 2 days it was almost gone.

Skullcap help the nerves as it is a a cold sore is the mildest of herpers nerve virus'  

Echinacea helps boost the immune system

licorice Rt helps all the hers work together and in flushing the system

Oregon Grape root helps fight infection

Answer 2

To heal the cold sore, just put a bit of your toothpaste on it overnight. It heals the sore and calms the pain. It doesn't kill the virus which is responsible for it.

Answer 3

Pure Cocoa Butter works wonders for me!

Lysine is an Amino Acid that is supposed to be very good

for herpes/cold sores but I've never gotten any results with that...

Good Luck.

p:s The best cure is to put ice on it the moment you feel it coming..

Answer 4

I take Vitamins B6 and B12 that I purchase at Walmart and this helps a lot.
