Remedies For Cold Sores That Will Heal Your Worst Cold Sore
How about some excellent remedies for cold sores? If you will let me, I would like to share with you some of the best remedies for cold sores I have ever seen.
Remedies for cold sores are available from many companies. These over-the-counter treatments usually provide quick comfort for painful sores. But they seldom shorten the duration of your cold sore.
However, the remedies for cold sores in this article will not only provide comfort, but will shorten the suffering time of your cold sore. And most of these are cheap and easy to find.
Try one or two of these home remedies for your cold sores. They nearly always work better than the commercial products and the virus will not develop immunity to them.
Some excellent remedies for cold sores are described below. You can use more than one of them at a time for superior results.
VITAMINS AND MINERALS. A good multi-vitamin is a must for everyone, whether a cold sore victim or not. This provides the energy your body needs to fight and heal cold sores.
All the vitamins and minerals work together for your good health. Certain nutrients stand out as particularly helpful against your cold sore.
Calcium helps your body stay in a healthy alkaline state. If you do not get enough, your body takes calcium from your bones.
Disease, including cold sore outbreaks, seldom occurs when the body is in the alkaline zone.
Lab tests show B vitamin deficiencies in people with an active cold sore. B12 seemed to be especially low. B vitamins are the stress vitamins so get a good daily dose.
Zinc is the healing mineral and is powerful against all pathogens, including the cold sore virus. Your daily dose of vitamins should contain about 15 milligrams of zinc. If it does not, find a better vitamin supplement.
Vitamin C is a miracle worker in protecting and healing you. Most good vitamins will provide a daily dosage of 500 to 1000 milligrams. This is critical - do not settle for less than 500.
TEA. Tea contains some powerful nutrients that can really help to heal your cold sore. You will benefit by both drinking it and by dabbing it directly on the wound.
Using ice on a forming cold sore is great, but a frozen tea bag works much better.
Just wet the bag, put in the freezer and then use in place of ice on the cold sore target area. It not only provides wonderful relief, but can actually stop the cold sore cold.
If your sore is advanced and has broken open, then apply a hot tea bag. This will provide great comfort and will dramatically speed up the healing process.
It is important not to heat a tea bag directly in the microwave. The radiation will destroy the healing properties. You can heat the water, then immerse the tea bag.
OIL FROM THE TEA TREE. Tea tree oil comes from the Australian Tea Tree. It smells and tastes similar to turpentine. It is readily available at local stores.
One of the most popular remedies for cold sores in Australia, tea tree oil may become your favorite also. It can penetrate the skin so you can start using it at first sign.
Once your cold sore blossoms, this oil will help keep the area sterile and prevent virus spreading. When it scabs over, keep applying it. It will aid in keeping the scab from painful cracking.
PURE RAW HONEY. One of the earliest remedies for cold sores, honey is a tremendous salve for stopping cold sore activity. Honey does not spoil. It has strong anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties.
Our ancestors used honey as a dressing on all types of wounds for stopping infections and quick healing. It smells and tastes way better than tea tree oil. Apply from first tingle through final healing of your cold sore.
These are just a few remedies for cold sores that have been proven effective and safe. There are other highly recommended remedies you may want to research and try, but I do not have room to list them here.

One thing that has worked wonders for me is opening, draining, and dabbing the sore with acetone nail polish. It works better than all of the things on your list and believe me, I've tried all of them. :(
It burns like the dickens but I assure you my lip is back to normal in just a few days. Using it in conjunction with ice and a good antiviral is a blessing.
