One can also use lavender essential oil at the first sign of a cold sore and proceed with this Cold Sore Balm to aid in healing. It's soothing to lips or other areas and can be used for shingles too.

Directions: This may be used daily to help lessen outbreaks. Due to the Melissa oil content, this is recommended to be a helpful therapy by experts such as Dr. Michael Murry. Apply as soon as you feel symptoms. This is not prevention and if you have a break out you will need to use a fresh q-tip to apply it to the area so you will not contaminate the balm. It is still contagious with the balm on it.

Recommendations: It may be beneficial to also look into other diet & lifestyle changes to help boost your immune system to lessen occurrences. Avoid refined sugar, highly processed, refined diets, junk food, caffeine, chocolate,  peanuts, almonds, seeds, nuts in general as these are foods with high arginine and are triggers for herpes.
