Cold Sores--Home Remedies and Treatments Related Links Home Remedies for Acne Natural Masks for Acne Blackheads-Remove Them Naturally Home Remedies for the Common Cold Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus. There is no complete cure. But there are natural home remedies which can alleviate the symptoms. 1. Fish Oil. The herpes virus acts along the nerves. That is why you can "feel a cold sore coming on". Fish oil for certain species such as salmon and sardines contains omega-3, an essential fatty acid. These oils act to support the nervous system of the body. In fact, some studies have shown that consumption of fish oil actually alleviates nervous conditions and depression. Eat oily fish such as salmon, sardines or tuna at least 3 times a week. 2. Witch Hazel. Dab it directly on the outbreak. It will help to heal the skin more quickly. Dab it on at night and in the morning. 3. Dark, Green Vegetables. Spinach, kale, turnip greens and all dark, leafy greens have folate and other micro-nutrients which helps to keep your nervous system balanced. 4. Dark Bread and Whole Grains. Whole grains (oatmeal, wheat bread, rye bread, barley) contain B-vitamins which support the nervous system. They may also help your nerves by keeping your blood sugar steady and thereby reducing sugar spikes which make you jittery. 5. Reduce Stress. Stress seems to activate the cold sore heroes virus. If you get cold sores around your period, make sure you do at least 1 hour of cardiovascular exercise each day to reduce stress. Also, do some yoga stretching and take a bubble bath. Use these basics to develop a pre-period routine that will help to reduce the chances that you'll experience an outbreak. 6. Body Cleanse. Do a natural body cleanse if you feel yourself getting stresses or you feel a cold sore coming on. 7. Sleep. A good night's sleep helps your body to build defenses to stress. Make sure you are getting at least 8 continuous hours of sleep, and that you are not snoring. Do everything you can to stop snoring because it is has been connected to creating dark eye circles, heart disease and stroke. 8. Once an outbreak occurs, use medicated ointments such as Abreva to shorten healing time. And never, ever transfer the virus from your mouth to other areas of your body (especially your eyes or genitals). Sign Up Now--it's free, fast and easy |
