Cold Sore Balm

Crafted with Lemon Balm grown on the farm. Packaged in an one ounce tin.

Lemon Balm is often used for cold sores because it has natural antiviral, soothing, and healing properties that can help the skin recover faster from outbreaks caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1.

Why lemon balm helps with cold sores

1. Antiviral effects
Lemon balm contains compounds such as rosmarinic acid and polyphenols that can help slow the replication of HSV-1, the virus responsible for most cold sores. This may reduce how severe the outbreak becomes.

2. May shorten healing time
When used early (like in a balm, cream, or strong tea applied to the skin), lemon balm may help cold sores heal faster and reduce how long they last.

3. Reduces redness and swelling
Lemon balm has anti-inflammatory properties, which can calm irritated skin, decreasing pain, redness, and swelling.

4. Helps with itching and burning
Cold sores often start with tingling or itching. Lemon balm can have a mild soothing effect that makes the area feel more comfortable.
