Apply it on the spot where your sore is starting to hurt and keep it there for as long as possible. Continue to do this 3-4 times a day. What the ice will do is deaden the blister that is trying to appear. This method will work if you begin doing the moment you start feeling a cold sore is coming on. If you wait until it already has appeared, it&#8217;s too late.<\/p><p><strong>\u2022 Aloe Vera<\/strong> &#8211; This home remedy for cold sores will work if your cold sore does blister on you. Take a leaf from an aloe vera plant and rub the liquid from it onto your cold sore blister. It may sound strange, but it gives results. Do this a few times a day and at night. Within a day or two, your cold sore will be gone. I know people who will grow aloe plants in their home just for this very reason.<\/p><p><strong>\u2022 Vitamin B<\/strong> &#8211; Taking <a href=\"http:\/\/innovativehomecare.com\/12-essential-vitamins-for-healthy-aging\/\">vitamin<\/a> B supplements has been shown to help get rid of a cold sore. Vitamin B-12 works especially well.<\/p><p><strong>\u2022 Tea Tree Oil<\/strong> &#8211; Many people say this is the best home remedy for cold sores. This is a drink that contains tea tree oil, herbal sage, and violet. These ingredients are mixed together with a couple of sage leaves and ginger powder and put in with a cup of boiling water. Drink this 2-3 times a day and within a couple of days, your cold sore will be gone.<\/p><p><strong>\u2022 Coconut Oil<\/strong> &#8211; Take 100ml of coconut oil, 2ml of Dettol, and 3ml or carbolic acid and mix them together. Apply twice daily directly on your cold sore. Some people say this formula also works on boils and mosquito bites.<\/p><p>Other Home Remedy For Cold Sores &#8211; Witch hazel, the spirit of camphor, and lemon balm extract are said to work.<\/p><h3>What Causes Cold Sore?<\/h3><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9917\" src=\"http:\/\/innovativehomecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/eating-chocolate-rich-in-arginine.jpg\" alt=\"eating chocolate rich in arginine\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.innovativehomecare.com\/staging\/8503\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/eating-chocolate-rich-in-arginine.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.innovativehomecare.com\/staging\/8503\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/eating-chocolate-rich-in-arginine-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.innovativehomecare.com\/staging\/8503\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/eating-chocolate-rich-in-arginine-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.innovativehomecare.com\/staging\/8503\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/eating-chocolate-rich-in-arginine-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.innovativehomecare.com\/staging\/8503\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/eating-chocolate-rich-in-arginine-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p><p>There are also some foods that you do not want to eat when experiencing a cold sore. These foods will only make the problem worse. Avoid eating chocolate, oatmeal, seeds, peas, nuts, and any wheat products. Why? Because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/vitamins\/ai\/ingredientmono-875\/l-arginine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">arginine<\/a> is in these foods and they are a cold sores friend. Other salty foods and even coffee can cause a cold sore to linger.<\/p><p>The next time you feel a cold sore coming on, give one of these tips a try and see if it doesn&#8217;t give you the relief you&#8217;re looking for.
