Home Remedies for Fever Blisters
Overview:
Fever blisters, also known as cold sores, are small, red blisters that typically form on the lips and around the mouth. Filled with clear fluid, they eventually scab over after a few days. These blisters are caused by the herpes virus, which can become active due to triggers like colds, fevers, sun exposure, and stress during menstruation. While there is no cure, certain remedies can help reduce the severity and frequency of outbreaks.
Dietary Considerations:
To manage cold sores, consider reducing or eliminating foods such as chocolate, peanuts, grains, seeds, oatmeal, and whole-wheat products from your diet. Symptoms like tingling, burning, or itching sensations, fever, swollen lymph nodes, and general discomfort often precede an outbreak.
Effective Home Remedies:
1. Aloe Vera:
- Apply fresh aloe juice or gel to the affected area at the first sign of tingling. It can help halt the growth of the sore.
2. Cornstarch Paste:
- Apply a cornstarch paste to the blister to alleviate symptoms.
3. Grapefruit Seed Extract:
- Mix a drop or two with aloe or olive oil and apply it to the sore.
4. Ice:
- Rub an ice cube on the sore for 10 minutes every hour at the onset to slow viral movement to the skin.
5. Lemon Balm:
- Use lemon balm extract to reduce symptoms and speed healing.
6. Herbal Tincture Mix:
- Combine equal parts of echinacea, calendula, oats, burdock, and lomatium tinctures. Take a teaspoon four to five times daily to soothe tissues, remove toxins, and combat viruses and bacteria.
7. Mint Extract:
- Apply topically to speed up healing.
8. Sage and Ginger Tea:
- Drink several cups daily until the blisters clear up.
9. Tea Bags:
- Use a cooled tea bag on the blister. This can help it disappear within a few days.
10. Vaseline:
- Apply to moisturize blisters and prevent cracking and bleeding.
11. St. John's Wort Oil:
- Use a drop or two to soothe and reduce pain, accelerating recovery.
12. Witch Hazel:
- Apply to sores to aid in healing.
13. Salt:
- Press salt onto the sore with a moistened finger for about a minute, twice daily, for 2-3 days.
14. Camphor:
- Apply spirit of camphor to the sore.
