Cold Sore… let Homeopathy help!
ochmadmin Cold sores are a common viral infection (herpes simplex). They often blister together in patches and after breaking, form a crusty surface. The virus spreads through close contact and remains dormant until it is triggered by stress, hormonal causes or a change in the environment. Symptoms include itching or tingling, blistering and oozing.
Here are some great homeopathic remedies to help with cold sores:
Ars: burning eruptions, better heat. Patient feels anxious and restless
Hepar-sulph: for painful eruptions. Worse cold. Patient feels chilly and irritable.
Merc-sol/viv: bleeding gums, a coated tongue, excessive salivation and bad breath accompany the cold sore. Eruptions burn and the symptoms are worse at night.
