Guest guest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 There is a place on my lower lip regularly splits - quite painful! Overnight it seals up then breaks open as soon as I clean my teeth in the morning! I wonder if it is related to the cold sores I get whenever my immune system is out of wack but that isn't the case now as far as I know! I appreciate any help - thank you in advance!

You can make tea or use the essential oil, or you can infuse the herb in coconut or other veggie oil. Second, it's a really good idea to keep the lips very moist. Using a lip balm you prefer. If you don't use a lip balm and really have no preference, I can recommend several. I really like Carmex. Or you can use Blistex, or Mentholatum Lip Balm. You can also make your own, to make sure it has wholesome ingredients. If you'd like a lip balm recipe, email me, and I will send you one. Or you can use coconut oil or other veggie oil straight on the lips. I am sure the others here will speak up and give you more advise, but this is what I would use for the condition you are talking about. If you try it....let us know if it works for you.
