10. Lemon Balm
Lemon balm oil is commonly used to relieve stress and anxiety, but it also quite popular as a natural treatment for cold sores. It is known to quicken the healing process, as well as prevent any infection from spreading and working to lessen any discomfort. Before using the lemon balm on your skin, do a patch-test on your arm first and wait 24-hours to see if there’s a reaction. If nothing happens, then you can apply the balm directly on your cold sore several times a day. You can also drink the tea by steeping lemon balm leaves in hot water for 10 minutes and drinking a few cups a day.
