Cold Sore Cure

From U.K The Guardian, Tuesday 3 March 2009
Cherry Chappell has compiled a vast compendium of traditional homemade remedies. Here is a selection of the best - some sound sensible, while many are bewildering.
Cold sores on the lips

Unlike mouth cankers, which tend to be singular and inside the mouth, cold sores (lip herpes) usually take the form of a rash of small blisters clustered around one major site on the lips. They can be treated with propolis, a product of bees that is often called bee glue. It is largely resin but also contains elements of wax and pollen. According to the Oxford Book of Health Foods, there have been a number of scientific investigations into the efficacy of propolis. Their results indicate that extracts from propolis were effective against various bacteria, including mycrobacterium tuberculosis, against the fungi involved in skin infections and also against the types of virus involved in colds and flu.
