Top 5 Remedies for Cold Sores

Cold Sores are some of the most bothersome conditions that anyone can experience. They aren't actually serious in most cases, and as many online doctors will tell you, relief can be had by way of any one of the many effective home remedies available. Nevertheless, the appearance of such sores can be quite alarming, and the social stigma attached to them makes them more troublesome that they ought to be. Here then are 5 of the more effective home remedies online doctors suggest for cold sores.

Lysine

This is one of the most effective and most commonly used remedies for the treatment of cold sores, and the ingredient can actually be found in many dairy products. For the effective treatment of cold sores however, most online doctors will recommend that you get your lysine from supplements that are typically available in 500mg capsules. They provide a convenient source of lysine, and they have the further advantage of allowing you to control your dosage much more easily.

Vitamin B

Many online physicians will tell you that one of the most common triggers of cold sores is stress. It therefore makes perfect sense to prescribe vitamin B for prevention and/or relief, since this-along with vitamin C has been identified as particularly effective against stress. Vitamin B-12 is one of the most effective in this category, and it is best taken by way of commonly available lozenges. When taken in this manner, the membranes in the mouth easily absorb the vitamin. This is a more effective way of taking vitamin B-12 than swallowing a caspsule, since the ingredient is mostly ineffective by the digestive process.

Aloe Vera

Long known for its medical properties, it is only recently that aloe vera has come into focus as an effective cold sore remedy. For purposes of cold sore treatment, aloe vera is best taken right from the plant, since the bottled gel has greatly reduced efficacy.

Garlic

This is another widely used medicinal ingredient from nature, and it is quite effective for the treatment of cold sores as well. For purposes of cold sore treatment, garlic is just as effective when taken internally as it is when applied directly on the affected area. For external use however, you will want to use only fresh garlic, as this provides maximum effectiveness.

Zinc

Zinc is known for its many healing properties, and this mineral has been proven to be an effective cold sore remedy as well. For best results, many online doctors recommend applying zinc sulfate directly onto the affected area. This is because most other commonly available forms of zinc will not be absorbed into the skin just as well.  You may even get favorable results by applying a moistened zinc lozenge right on the affected area. You can also prevent the appearance of cold sores by taking 15 to 30 milligrams of zinc as part of your daily health supplement regimen. Check your multivitamin supplements if they contain enough zinc. Otherwise, shift to another brand.
