Home Remedies for Cold Sores, Cold Sores Home Based Cures

There are a large number of home remedies for cold sores. In some cases these traditional treatments have been known to work as well as antiviral pills or numbing creams. One advantage of using a home remedy for cold sores is that treatment can begin immediately since there is no need to visit the doctor to get a prescription or go to the drugstore and choose between several creams. As soon as someone realizes they are developing a cold sore, they can begin the home remedy.

Cold sores home remedies can also be found in tea bags. In fact, tea bags are considered one of the popular choices to treat cold sores. A tea bag is placed over the blisters for a few minutes. This provides soothing relief and effective treatment. Repeat this after one hour. Doing this once every hour is recommended for faster healing. Holding the warm tea bag against the affected areas for 30 minutes is a variation of this treatment.

Eating the right food works well with cold sores home remedies. As much as possible, it is best to stay away from salty, acidic and processed foods. Avoiding chocolates, oats, grains, peanuts and seeds can also do a lot of help. Instead, it is better to eat foods that are rich in vitamins A, C and E. Coffee and tea should also be set aside when treating them. Eating fresh fruits and leafy veggies can also promote a stronger resistance against skin problems such as cold sores.

The first home remedy for cold sore spread is to apply ice to the cold sore for 5-10 minutes every hour. Another way to prevent its spread is to apply a wet and cold tea bag for the same time period. The tea has tannic acid which has an antiviral effect. A warm tea bag applied for 20-30 minutes several times a day should work to remove the cold sore in five days. Foods that aggravate cold sores and whose elimination will help as a home remedy for a cold sore are chocolate, peas, nuts, seeds, oatmeal and other whole wheat foods

Home remedies for cold sores do not cure the disease. They basically hasten the healing period. As a result, they lower the risk of spread. Petroleum jelly may be applied on the wounds. It protects the skin from secondary bacterial infection. Besides, it hastens the healing period. Apply sunscreen on the affected area. It prevents the harmful ultra violet rays from harming your skin.

Aloe Vera - This home remedy for cold sores will work if you your cold sore does blister on you. Take a leaf from an aloe vera plant and rub the liquid from it onto your cold sore blister. It may sound strange, but it gives results. Do this a few times a day and at night. Within a day or two your cold sore will be gone. I know people who will grow aloe plants in their home just for this very reason.
