Cold Sore Treatment - Amazing Cold Sore Relief
Are you searching for cold sore relief? If so, read this article now. In it you will discover cold sore treatment methods that will provide you fast relief of your cold sores.
Cold sore relief products are abundant at stores. These salves or ointments may give some small comfort. But they will not get rid of your cold sores.
The best of these cold sore treatment salves contain a nerve-numbing ingredient such as lidocaine. This helps to relieve pain - great when you are on the go.
But real cold sore relief not only means instant pain relief. It is also getting rid of your cold sores as quickly as possible - or stopping them before they get started.
We really want to do both.
Your top remedies for cold sores are still natural home remedies. Medical science has not yet been able to beat home treatments for cold sores.
Before you spend any more money on commercial cold sore treatment salves, try these simple - but very effective - cold sore relief methods.
1. STOP THE PAIN.
Cold sores are extremely painful because the herpes simplex virus creates them on the end of your facial nerves. The herpes virus lives and hides in these nerve fibers.
When the pain begins, so does swelling, fever and headaches. Swelling of lymph glands under the jaw is also present.
Treat it like a mild flu. Many folks take a pain and fever reducer - my favorite is ibuprophen. This will give you some immediate cold sore relief.
At the very first indication of a cold sore attack, apply ice - or anything cold. Ice cannot be beat for reducing the pain and swelling.
Ice also greatly discourages herpes virus activity. It slows down the progress of your cold sore - and can sometimes stop it altogether.
Ice is one of the most effective cold sore treatment options for fast and sure cold sore relief.
Ice is available anywhere - but not always convenient. For those times, a pain-numbing salve from the store may give some relief from the pain (but not the other benefits you get from ice).
2. REPAIR AND HEAL COLD SORES FAST.
Ice is unbeatable for fast cold sore relief - but not after the sore bursts open. Then your cold sore enters the healing period. Do not use ice now - it will slow down healing.
The fastest way to heal a cold sore now - and enjoy complete cold sore relief - is to apply heat. Heat really speeds repair by bringing oxygenated blood to the area.
Warm, wet tea bags are the best way to apply heat to a cold sore. Tea contains many healing nutrients that will chase away the virus and speed your healing.
It is important not to use a microwave to heat the tea bag directly. This destroys the beneficial healing properties. Use water heated first in the microwave or stove-top.
Apply garlic or oregano oil to the sore area and scab on a regular basis.
These powerful oils contain amazing healing properties. Keep the scab well oiled to prevent painful cracking and re-healing.
In addition to these highly effective healing oils, apply fresh aloe vera gel. It must be fresh from a live plant to get good results. Aloe vera is an amazing skin healer.
3. COLD SORE PREVENTION.
Preventing cold sores in your future is a critical part of any cold sore relief program.
Keeping your immune system at its peak is very important for cold sore prevention.
You can do this with a good multi-vitamin supplement plan. Don't waste your money on those one or two per day vitamins.
Get the highest quality vitamin supplements you can find. It may mean taking six or more capsules a day. That is what you need for best results.
It is also wise to get some lysine in 500 milligram capsules. Add lysine to your daily vitamin routine. Lysine works for cold sore prevention.
Cold sore relief should always be this 3-step process - reduce pain, heal it fast and prevent future outbreaks.
You will find these remedies for cold sores will help you achieve this total cold sore relief goal. They truly have for thousands of other cold sore victims.
There are several other more advanced cold sore treatment methods, but these are the basics you should use first for successful cold sore relief.
