Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 OK --- I tried to search the archives for help on this but couldn't find anything, but it seems like I remember a discussion some time back. My dd has a fever blister/cold sore. She has been using campho phenique (sp?) but it doesn't seem to have helped much. Suggestions, please???

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 Tea tree works on this. My dd used it for about 3 days neat and it disappeared. She said the taste was terrible but it cured this sore fast.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 Crush an aspirin and dab some of it on the blister at the first sign. Or, if you have Melissa offic. growing, chew a leaf and dab it on the sore. L-Lysine taken at the first inkling will do a good job, too...

Suggestions, please??? the aromatherapy specific is Melissa... melissa officianalis... in a very low dilution...1% should do...it's a skin and mucous membrane irritant so keep it very low... if you have the fresh plant, you might try a poultice of the leaves....

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 That's what we use for them around here. Just dab a tiny bit on once or twice a day. It stings a bit at first but heals quickly......smells good too.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Hi C-M And thanks for that tip. > Or, if you have Melissa offic. growing, chew a leaf and dab it on > the sore. I was halfway through infusing some lemon balm oil when I got my last cold sore but I'll definitely try the fresh leaf next time.
