Frequently Asked Questions
What causes cold sores and how can I prevent them?
Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1). They can be triggered by stress, illness, sun exposure, or a weakened immune system.
What are the best natural treatments for cold sores?
Popular options include lysine, lemon balm (melissa), zinc, tea tree oil, and echinacea. These may help reduce severity and speed up healing time.
Can lysine help with cold sore outbreaks?
Yes! Lysine is an amino acid that helps suppress the herpes virus and can be taken regularly to prevent outbreaks or in higher doses during a flare-up.
More from our Naturopaths
Are cold sore creams or supplements better?
Topical creams offer fast relief, while supplements like lysine or immune boosters help reduce frequency of future outbreaks. Combining both is often effective.
Is it possible to stop cold sores from recurring?
While there's no cure for the virus, managing stress, supporting your immune system, and taking cold sore-specific supplements can reduce recurrence significantly.
Can you prevent cold sores before they start?
Yes — prevention focuses on managing triggers and supporting your immune system. Common strategies include:
Managing stress
Getting enough sleep
Supporting immunity with nutrients like zinc and vitamin C
Using treatment at the first tingling sensation
Cold sores are often triggered by fatigue, stress, or illness, so prevention is about reducing these triggers.
Are cold sores contagious and how do they spread?
Yes — cold sores are highly contagious and spread through direct contact, such as kissing or sharing utensils, especially when blisters are present.
Why do I keep getting cold sores even when I’m healthy?
Even if you feel healthy, the virus can still reactivate due to hidden triggers like stress, sun exposure, or slight immune dips. Once you carry HSV-1, outbreaks can happen intermittently throughout life.
