Aloe Vera is one plant that is best known for all its medicinal properties, but people mostly associate it with after sun or wound care. But it is another home remedy that can be used when treating cold sores as well as it helps dry up any blisters and make the healing process faster. Cut open one of the Aloe Vera stems and remove the gel, placing the gel in a container. Take a fresh cotton ball and dip it into the gel, then rub it directly on the blisters until they’re completely covered, and repeat this a few times a day. As always, it’s best to use fresh Aloe Vera rather than store bought products, which tend to contain more chemicals and other contaminants.
