Cold Sore Home Remedy - 5 Working Solutions For Those Pesky Sores

If you’re still looking for a cold sore home remedy I’ve got some more here for you to try out.  There are quite a few of them out there, some work, some don’t, the only way to find out is to try it.  So if you’re interested in experimenting, here’s a list of solutions for you to go over:

1.     Grapefruit Seed Extract

One cold sore home remedy involves taking some grapefruit seed extract, mixing that in with some olive oil to dilute it a bit, then applying that to the area where you have a cold sore or you feel one will develop.  Keep applying this 2-3 times a day and it will work to kill off the virus and either prevent the cold sore from forming or speed along the healing.

2.     Garlic Oil

Try squeezing a garlic and using the oil that seeps out to dab onto your cold sores.  The oil will have anti-viral properties that will work on clearing up the situation.

3.     Neosporin

Many people have noted that this antibiotic works to clear up a cold sore pretty quickly when applied to the face.

4.     Warm Baths

A warm bath or shower can be soothing and help alleviate some of the pain and discomfort caused by the cold sores.

5.     Stay Away From Peanuts

Peanuts and other nuts are loaded with L-Arginine.  This seems to help the virus replicate, so you want to limit how much of this you take in.

Now all these tips will help, but if you want a cold sore home remedy that’s going to not only get rid of it, but do it quick and prevent it from returning, you’ll need to look into other methods.  One of the more potent solutions available is called Herpeset, it’s effective because it is absorbed directly into the bloodstream by a spray under the tongue.  It gets to work faster than any other solution and it also keeps the outbreak from returning, I’d recommend trying it if you really want to get things under control.  Click here to learn more about it.
