Cold Sore Remedies

I want to take the time to talk to you about the cold sores remedies. There are a lot of people that suffer from outbreaks of this problem all the time. Many people that have this problem are very embarrassed by it and don't even have the first clue on why it occurs. I've even heard people say that they think they get these sores because of some sort of irritation or infection. The reason you have this problem is that you have a virus in your body that creates it. 80% of people have the virus that leads to cold sore and there is no cure for it. There are specific things you can do to help stop this. This is why I'm going to talk to you about cold sores remedies.

The first thing that you need to know is that prevention is the most important thing you can do. The virus will live dormant in your body and not create problems as long as your immune system is strong. Your goal should be to keep your immune system as high as possible. Basically you achieve that through a healthy lifestyle. That means you should be eating a balanced eating plan and you should be exercising on a regular basis.

The cold sores remedies are very simple. The first thing you need to do is make sure you keep your cold sore clean. The reason that these sores are such a problem is that they spread very easily. Keeping it clean is important for preventing the spread. Drinking tea is another great thing you can do. Tea contains anti-viral substances that will prevent the virus from spreading and will allow your immune system to more easily fight it.
