I am not a big fan of the winter. This year I’m going to prepare early and get some coldsore treatment in my bathroom cabinet. I don’t know why I am so afflicted by these sores that just pop up everytime the weather gets a little colder.

So the treatments that I have seen lately are the Green Balm – I’ve read rave reviews about it. It’s made of yarrow and is a favourite of psoriasis sufferers too. It can also be used to treat dandruff and acne, or so I have read online.

The other treatment that I want to try is dabbing garlic on the sore. As garlic is a natural antibiotic, it could actually zap the virus. I guess I won’t find out until in a week or four I will have one of those unpleasant sores spouting up on my lip waiting for me to zap it! I’ll let you know how it goes.
