What are cold sores?
Cold sores are a symptom of the Herpes Simplex virus of which there are two types- Herpes simplex 1 (cold sore) and Herpes simplex 2 (genital herpes)
Why do they appear?
The viral infection normally shows when you are over-tired, run down or stressed, or may be precipitated by sunburn, menses, food allergies, drugs, certain foods. Can you relate?
What are the symptoms?
It is often pre-empted with an itchy and warm sensation on the lips. A blister may appear and further develop into a full-blown unsightly spot (just in time for that important occasion).
Do you want a natural remedy with essential oils?
- Bergamot oil helps to tame the activity due to its antiviral action, particularly if you apply it at the first sign of an eruption.
- Melissa blend oil also acts as an antiviral agent for genital herpes and fights the viral infection when dabbed on neat to affected area. As the Melissa is a blend rather than pure, it makes it a bit friendlier to the skin. If you are more sensitive than most, you can always dilute the Melissa oil further.
How do you use these oils ?
Dab on neat using a clean cotton bud each time 3-4 times daily. If using Bergamot don't spend a lot of time in the sun while you've got this oil on, as it may cause the skin to become sensitive to sunlight (ultra-violet exposure).
