Calm A Cold Sore Fast with Peppermint Balm!

Peppermint oil has powerful antiviral & antimicrobial properties.   The active ingredient in peppermint essential oil is methone.  Methone revs up blood flow to a cold sore allowing it heal faster.

Coconut Oil is awesome at hydrating the skin.

Mix the 2 together for a balm with a kick!

Mix together 1 teaspoon of coconut oil and 10 drops of peppermint essential oil.  Use a Q-tip to apply the mixture (balm) on the cold sore 2 times per day.
*The coconut oil prevents painful cracking during the healing process.

Canker Sore RELIEF

Posted by Natural4Life in cold sore, cracked lips, dry lips, Family Health, Mix It Up Yourself, Oral Health. Tagged: , , , , , , , , .

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

Posted by Natural4Life in cold sore, cracked lips, dry lips, Natural Healers. Tagged: , , , .

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.

Coconut Oil Lip Remedy

Posted by Natural4Life in As Seen On The Dr. Oz Show, cracked lips, dry lips. Tagged: , , , , , , , , .

Coconut Oil is one of Dr. Oz’s Top 3 Picks for all natural products that work very well as Lip Moisturizers.  It smells great & feels good on the lips!  Another nice thing about Coconut Oil is that it is a solid at room temperature, but easily “melts” into your skin when you apply it.
