Cold Sore Treatment Techniques For Fast Cold Sore Relief

Want a great cold sore treatment? How about several of the most powerful and time proved cold sore treatment tactics available today? Read this article now and you will enjoy amazing relief in just minutes.

Thousands daily need cold sore treatment. Cold sore ointments and salves fill the shelves at the stores. Cold sore victims desperately spend millions yearly on these remedies.

A few of the over-the-counter cold sore treatment therapies work - but most are of little value. Generally speaking, these are primarily COMFORT remedies for treating a cold sore or oral herpes.

In spite of some wild claims, you should not expect these cold sore remedy products to shorten or cure your sore.

Although there are many cold sore treatment ideas floating around, here are four that have been proven to work for nearly everyone, every time.

1. GARLIC POWER. Garlic is an old and very potent herbal remedy for many ailments. You can use it as both an external and internal cold sore treatment. Scientists have found that pathogens will flee from even the smell of garlic.

You should choose to use fresh garlic bulbs when you can. Fresh garlic is the most potent and helpful for treating a cold sore. Next to that, you can use garlic oil and garlic powder from your health store.

Cut or crush a fresh garlic clove and rub it right on the sore. This is an excellent cold sore treatment during any stage of the sore. Apply garlic oil to the scab to help prevent cracking.

You would enjoy much faster results if you would also eat some garlic during your cold sores. Fresh garlic or garlic powder will work well for this. The less you cook it, the better it will be.

Garlic does leave you with a strong odor that you may not care for. If so, give the odorless garlic supplements a try. They are not as strong, but will help to some degree.

2. LYSINE FOR COLD SORES. As an internal cold sore treatment, lysine is very powerful against cold sores. As an external (topical) cold sore remedy it is not much good. It does not absorb into the cells very well this way.

Lysine works by taking the place of another amino acid, arginine. Arginine is the main ingredient needed to create new herpes virus. Without sufficient arginine, the herpes simplex virus cannot create cold sores.

You can eat high lysine foods or take lysine supplements. By doing so, you will flood the affected cells with lysine and stop the cold sores fast.

People who use lysine as a cold sore treatment will take about 3000 to 5000 milligrams each day during oral herpes cold sores. Often the same folks will take 500 milligrams per day for prevention purposes.

3. MINERAL ZINC. Famous as the healing mineral, zinc may prove to be your best friend against cold sores. Zinc is a strong anti-oxidant and chases away pathogens of all types - including the herpes simplex virus.

Look for daily multi-vitamin programs containing a minimum of 15 milligrams of zinc. If your vitamin does not, then change brands.

Using zinc as an internal remedy, never exceed 50 milligrams per day - even during your outbreak of cold sores.

You can use certain forms of zinc (zinc sulfate or zinc gluconate) as a topical treatment to shorten the healing period of your cold sores. These two absorb better than most forms of zinc.

4. AMAZING ALOE VERA. The fluid inside the leaves of a live Aloe Vera plant has amazing skin rejuvenation properties. Apply this fluid liberally to your open cold sores and prepare to be impressed.

For best results, always use fresh gel from a live plant. Bottled gel does not work nearly as well, but is still better than nothing.

Break off an inch or two of leaf and use the leaf to apply the gel without having to get your fingers in it. Keep some pieces in a plastic bag for later use. It will stay effective for a couple days this way.

I hope these cold sore treatment tips will help you as much as they have helped thousands of others around the world.

Not every cold sore treatment will work the same for everyone. You need to give different methods and tactics a try. If you do, you will quickly discover the best cold sore treatment for you.
