Natural Treatment for Cold Sores
You can help to prevent cold sores by being aware of the triggers in your environment. Excessive exposure to sunlight and certain foods and drugs may trigger an attack. It is advisable to use sunblock on your lips and face in both winter and summer. Other triggers include fever, hormonal changes such a menstruation and physical or emotional stress. Although these situations can not always be avoided, take particular care to look after yourself during these times. Practice stress management techniques and exercise regularly, making sure you get adequate rest.
