The Cures For Cold Sores

I want to talk to you about the cures for cold sores that you can use to help fix this problem. A lot of people don't fully understand what this type of sore actually is. I often hear people say that it is like herpes, which is true. What you probably don't understand is that there is an incurable virus living in your body known as HSV-1. Herpes works the same way except it is HSV-2. These are viruses that hide in the nerve cells of your body where they can't be destroyed. The HSV-1 hides in the nerves of your face and will spread to your lips (which have a high nerve concentration). I'm going to share with you the cures for cold sores.

The first cure that you can implement is prevention. The virus will live dormant in your body if you have a strong immune system. That's why a lot of people rarely ever have an outbreak of cold sores. That means you should be eating properly and exercising on a regular basis. I'm not saying that you have to be perfect with your diet and exercise. You just need to add it in and start living a little more healthy. This will improve your immune system and force the virus to live dormant.

Another one of the cures for cold sores is general cleanliness. The virus is just spreading. A cold sore is designed to spread. You've probably noticed that a sore will eventually break open and start oozing a liquid. That liquid is nothing more than pure HSV-1 and it is designed to spread. Wash your hands and keep the cold sore clean and dry.
