Heal Cold Sores – Fast Relief From Your Cold Sore

To heal cold sores, you will find there are but two basic methods. Either method can be used alone. However, using both at the same time will give you the best outcome when you want to heal cold sores.

Your body can and will heal cold sores on its own. But it is a slow process. It often takes three to four weeks – or more. You do not have to tolerate the discomfort of a cold sore that long with what we know today.

We all want to heal cold sores as soon as possible. To do so, let us quickly review what causes the actual cold sore outbreak – so we can better understand the enemy.

The cold sore virus is the herpes simplex virus – either type 1 or type 2. This microscopic virus drills into a cell and forces the cell to create virus clones. Once full, the new virus is released by destruction of the host cell.

At the beginning, you will notice a lot of swelling as the cells fill up with virus particles. The cells then burst open – causing another ugly sore. The herpes virus only causes these sores on the surface of your skin.

There are only two ways to heal cold sores. Here they are.

1. HEAL COLD SORES BY TREATING THEM INTERNALLY.

Do you get more than one cold sore a year? If so, your first priority should be to take a top-rate vitamin and mineral supplement every single day.

Without a doubt, this is the most important first step for fast healing and defending yourself from future outbreaks. A good multi-vitamin will strengthen your immunity against this parasite virus – and all other viruses also.

Also, it would be very helpful to take some large doses of lysine. If you flood your system with additional lysine, it can stop this virus in its tracks.

Lysine capsules are cheap and convenient. High lysine foods, such as dairy and fish, will help also. During an outbreak, 2000 milligrams to 4000 milligrams per day is common. 4 ounces of flounder contains 3000 milligrams.

It is simple. To heal cold sores fast, you must stop the virus from reproducing and send it back to the latent state.

Multiple and frequent outbreaks often is a sign of calcium deficiency. Your body uses calcium, either from diet or your bones, to keep your body from becoming acidic. The higher your alkaline level the higher your oxygen levels. Oxygen is very anti-virus.

If you start taking 1000 to 3000 milligrams of calcium per day, you will be amazed. It will make a noticeable difference how often and how severe your sores will be. A good vitamin will already provide the minimum recommended 1000 milligrams.

2. HEAL COLD SORES WITH EXTERNAL TREATMENTS.

You can heal cold sores much more rapidly with a proven cold sore treatment, salve or ointment, applied directly to the outbreak.

Ointments that contain zinc, either in the form of sulfate or gluconate, work very well when applied to the sore. Watch out for other forms of zinc, such as zinc oxide, as they do not absorb readily.

Two, strong anti-viral oils that are great as topical remedies are garlic and oregano. Either of these will chase away the cold sore virus quickly, and promote speedy healing of the wound.

Once in the healing stage, the level of your health will determine how fast your body will heal cold sores. You can speed it along with the use of a warm, damp tea bag – along with the oils mentioned previously.

Cleaning the outbreak regularly with hydrogen peroxide or alcohol is essential to prevent spreading the infection or re-occurrence of the same sore. It also prevents the chance of bacterial infection.

As stated at the beginning – your body knows how to heal cold sores without any extra help. But that is no reason for you to suffer any longer than necessary. The methods you have just read will greatly reduce the time of healing.

Not only will this mean a quicker return to your social obligations, but far less cold sore events and discomfort down the road.

You will find using both internal and external remedies, in combination, will provide you the highest level of success when you want to aggressively heal cold sores.

I tried Nair on my upper lip last night and it looks like a kid who drank red KoolAid. Hideous. Even worse, I decided to keep it moist with triple anti-biotic salve on it all day so it does not get crusty when it heals. Wanna kiss me now?
