You need to read this if you suffer from coldsores...
I was going about my day as usual yesterday when I suddenly felt "the tingle" (you know the one) of a coldsore starting. I immediately ran for my Abreva, which I always keep in my purse pocket for this very reason, but yesterday though, it was not in its spot! What?! Where is it? I always keep it in the small pocket of my purse...how could it be missing? In a nervous pinch, and in practicing what I preach (and love), I grabbed my lavender essential oil and dabbed a tiny bit on my lip. Realizing I applied it on directly, I quickly grabbed my carrier oil, peppermint oil, and tea tree oil, blended them together, and placed the new mixture on my lips. I did use a higher dilution rate for this condition, as it is intended for short-term use only*. The great news, after a few applications and 24-hours later, I am coldsore free! I am extactic to report, it worked just liked my beloved Abreva, maybe even better! The healing powers of essential oils and medicinal herbs amaze me more and more each day!

*(Please note, as a practitioner and eternal student, I use myself as a test case to experiment with my own conditions, so please always follow dilution rate guidelines for essential oils, never my self-doctoring ways.)
