Cold sores: Melissa officinalis or lemon balm (cream) expedites healing of cold sores. It can reduce healing time by half. Studies also show that regular use can help v recurrences. Brief supplementation with lysine 1, 000mg orally three times a day at the onset, can also hasten healing. Maintain a healthful lifestyle (regular exercise, nutritious diet, adequate sleep, keeping stress at bay).
