Avoid the Cold Sore
The reason you get a cold sore is because you have been infected with the herpes simples virus I, but don’t worry over 80% of the population is infected, but the virus usually lies dormant unless another virus or a stressful situation affects us and causes the virus to awaken.
When the virus awakens then we get those terrible outbreaks around our mouths. The problem is that once we are infected then we will always have outbreaks when our immune system is not at its best.
The answer to avoiding the outbreaks is to keep the immune system working smoothly by taking the right vitamins, trying to avoid the cold and flu and living in a stress free environment. When we do get a cold sore the best solution is to try natural remedies first before trying over the counter medications, that may cause other side effects.
