Cold Sores Causes and Remedies
Cold Sore Remedy #2: Lemon Balm
Lemon balm is not made from lemon but is an herb that is closely related to mint. It is thought to hold various medicinal properties and is often used to help people relax and to help people get a good night’s sleep. It can also be used as a remedy for cold sores.
Ideally, lemon balm can be used in a lip balm containing extracts from the herb. A lip balm will help soothe the cold sore while also helping to prevent the lips from cracking further. A lemon balm tea compress can also be used topically to help soothe and treat the cold sore.
