Canker Sore RELIEF

Canker sores are painful.  Relief just can’t come quick enough for me. Yes, I’m a wimp when it comes to pain!!!  For some fast relief , I reach for a cup of chamomile tea.  Simply brew & let it cool, then just swish it around for 1 minute in your mouth.

 I know what your thinking….”So what’s so special about chamomile tea”?

The answer is 2 things….

1st – chamomile tea is full of volatile oils that will instantly reduce irritation (that is what is causing it to HURT!)

2nd – chamomile tea has an amazing antibacterial chamazulene that will speed up the healing process!

Need Proof?

In a recent study, 82% of people that was suffering with canker sores reported relief just a few minutes after doing the 1 minute swish!

Help With Cold Sores

No one likes them,but the fact is  -this time of the year(with the added stress of the holidays) can bring on Cold Sores.  A natural way to prevent cold sores is taking the amino acid lysine.

The lysine hinders activity of arginine, which is a chemical that fuels the herpes virus that causes a cold sore break out.  Take 500 mg a day for prevention and double the dosage if you feel an impending outbreak.

Dry, Cracked Lips

Is your lips dry & cracked?  Heal them with dabbing licorice oil on them!

The oil will ease away the discomfort & it seals in the moisture.  As an added Bonus - licorice oil helps to keep away the virus that causes cold sore outbreaks!
