Effective Cold Sore Cures

Ok, so you can’t cure the virus (herpes simplex type 1) that causes a cold sore, but you will be glad to know that there are several ways you can get cold sore help, and speed up the healing of them. Typically, a sore lasts for two weeks, and all sufferers will be familiar with the pain, and often, embarrassment that accompanies that long wait. The main triggers of eruptions are stress, a run-down immune system and sun exposure. The following looks at some effective cold sore cures, but they should really be used in conjunction with lifestyle changes to help eliminate a possible trigger.

Sliced lemon is said to be great for heading off attacks, if used at the first sign (when the skin is unbroken). Many sufferers claim that they use lemon when they feel that familiar tingling around the mouth, and their symptoms go away. Naturally, don’t apply lemon to an open sore – ouch! Painkillers will help with associated aches, and will be useful if you are feeling run down anyway. Ibuprofen may be more effective as it is an anti-inflammatory. Always check with your doctor before taking any drugs, as they aren’t suitable for everyone, and interfere with other medicines. For immediate relief from cracked sores, apply lots of petroleum jelly. This also acts as an effective shield from dirt and bacteria.

As you may have noticed, these cold sore cures are for different symptoms, so you may find yourself spending a lot of time and using a lot of equipment to deal with one sore. Herpeset homeopathic spray is different, in that it treats all of these symptoms and more: redness, swelling, itching, skin cracking and pain. All of the ingredients (even the preservative) are natural, mainly derived from leaves and flowers. There is capsicum, which acts as a painkiller and anti-inflammatory, and purple cone flower for combatting redness. Other extracts include woody nightshade, wild indigo and organic corn alcohol. If you want to know how to heal a cold sore in one step, then this could be your answer.

The great thing about using all natural ingredients is that there are no known reactions caused by using Herpeset alongside other medicines (always ask your doctor about any new treatment though). It is not tested on animals, and has been formulated to be suitable for wheat allergy sufferers. As Herpeset is regulated by the Food and Drug Association, it is considered to be one of the safest cold sore cures.

Lots of reviews exist for Herpeset, and the vast majority are extremely pleased with its results (the manufacturer offers a money-back guarantee for anyone who is not). We were impressed to see that most cold sores are gone within seven days, and subsequent outbreaks are less frequent for many. You can see some of the Herpeset reviews here.

There are various home treatments you can try in your quest to banish cold sores, but we think Herpeset has the upper hand as it is natural, targets all symptoms and targets them quickly.
