How to Get Rid of Cold Sores

Cold sores are small, painful, fluid-filled blisters that typically appear around the mouth. (These are not to be confused with common canker sores, which are small ulcers within the mouth). There’s often pain or tingling before the cold sores appear.

Unfortunately, cold sores are a sign that you’ve somehow contracted the herpes simplex virus. The bad news is that there’s no known cure for the herpes virus. Cold sores usually go away after 7-10 days.

But cold sore pain is more than just physical—it’s also emotional and psychological. Nobody wants to walk around with a swollen and ugly lip for a week or longer. And cold sores always seem to happen at important moments. (Stress is a major cause of cold sore outbreaks).

Some simple home remedies for herpes virus outbreaks include over-the-counter ointments, such as topical lidocaine or benzyl alcohol. You can also apply ice or warm compresses. Both of these things will ease the discomfort. Never squeeze, pinch, or pick at the herpes virus blisters.

Luckily, there’s been a new development in cold sore treatment. It’s a fairly simple home remedy, but it’s incredibly effective. Even prescription medications don’t work as fast.

Because of copyright infringement, I can’t reveal this remedy. But you can find it in a book called Cold Sore Freedom in 3 Days. It’s actually an ebook, which means you can download it immediately (just click here).

I noticed that someone on a popular online forum recently gave the “secrets” of this remedy away. Of course, it worked great—as it always does—and everyone loved it.

But Cold Sore Freedom in 3 Days provides a lot more information than what was revealed on that public forum. It’s actually a comprehensive program that shows you how to get rid of cold sores forever. So far it seems to be working for me and other cold sore sufferers I know who have tried the program.

Some vitamins can help prevent cold sore outbreaks. These include vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin E, and zinc.

There are also dietary supplements and alternative remedies that are believed to be beneficial in treating the cold sores that arise from the herpes virus. These include:

Lysine, although doses smaller than 1 gram a day appear to be ineffective.

Aloe vera, which is available as a cream or gel. Many people believe this makes the affected area by the herpes virus heal faster.

Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) may reduce symptoms (cold sores) in people infected with the herpes virus.

Carrageenans, which is extracted from red seaweed, are believed to have antiviral effects.

Garlic extract has been shown to have antiviral properties.

Prunella vulgaris, which is a plant commonly known as “selfheal,” can supposedly prevent herpes virus and cold sore outbreaks.

Perhaps the most effective treatment I’ve ever tried is the one outlined in the book Cold Sore Freedom in 3 Days. Unfortunately, the writer of this book is very serious about protecting her copyright, so I can’t divulge the remedy here. But it’s the fastest way to get rid of cold sores that I know of.

You can download the contents of this ebook online here. It contains an easy-to-follow program that shows you how to get rid of cold sores forever. Forever is a long time, but it’s worked so far for me—and for many others I know who suffer from cold sores.
