Always check with your doctor before taking any herbal/natural supplements as these are REAL medicines and can be dangerous if taken improperly.

I have always uses Vicks vapor rub on cold sores and it feels a lot better the next day and almost gone by the second day. any menthol will help it but I like vicks
i don`t think there is a way to do it naturally, but you could try baking soda and water and make a paste and put it on the cold sore other then that have you tried abreva..if not you could try that
tagamet..look under tagamet + cold sores or tagamet + herpes. it has instructions and it helps.
Drink plenty of water, juice and eat fruits, particularly those high in Vitamin C.
Whatever you try, remember that Cold Sores contain the Herpies 1 virus, and you can transfer it others, as well as to you own genitals. The virus lives in the back of your neck, and surfaces as cold sores and shingles during times of stress.
dont meen 2 b rude but do u have herpes?
I am a medicine woman and practice in natural path remedies. If you have a clove of garlic (crush it as small as you can, place it on a tissue and place it on your cold sore - like a band aide before going to sleep at night) what this does is natural absorb the toxins from the bacteria and natural drains the inflamed area. I do caution you, it does burn some when you first place it on there, that is a sign that it's working correctly. also if you have lemon juice (concentrated or natural lemon) doing the same thing as above, will also start drying it out so that it will scab, then eventually fall off. Most cold sores last up to 7 days. If you use any creams in that area of the face or have a high diet of acid, try to stop that for a bit, as the more caffeine in the diet and chocolate will prolong the healing process.These also can surface from stress and hormone off balance.
The answer given using Vicks is a good quick fix. The following suggestions will help shorten the duration and discomfort and help prevent further outbreaks. First, try taking lysine - 3,000 milligrams a day until the lesion goes away; take 500 to 1500 mg a day if you ever have the first symptom of another outbreak. Then vitamin C with bioflavonoids - 1000 mg daily. The medicinal herbs echinacea and St. Johns wort will speed the healing, lessen the severity, and shorten the duration of cold sores. 300 mg capsule of echinacea 4 times a day during the outbreak, then once a day for prevention. St. Johns wort - take one 300 mg capsule daily during the outbreak. You can get all this stuff at Walmart, drugstore, etc. Hope this helps!!
