There are many natural cold sore remedies available to those who are seeking a different type of treatment from the usual pharmaceutical route. For example, pressing wet tea bags or ice onto your cold sore might reduce the sensations of pain. However, many of the benefits these remedies provide are relatively short-lived and only deal with one aspect of cold sore symptoms.
This is where Herstat cold sore treatment comes in. Not only does our ointment help reduce pain, redness and swelling, it also moistens dry skin and substantially reduces the length of an outbreak.
The ingredients
There are five ingredients in our clinically proven product, including white soft paraffin, liquid paraffin, Propolis ACF, ethanol, and lanolin (wool fat).
Together, these help to:
- Provide a moist environment favourable for wound healing;
- Create a protective barrier against secondary infection;
- Keep the skin supple to sooth itching and reduce the urge to pick and scratch.
Additional benefits of our product might come from the use of a special brand of propolis – Propolis ACF. This substance, which is made from plant resins by bees, is used as a preservative in Herstat due to its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, but these same properties could also help to speed healing and fight against the symptoms of your cold sore.
