Many people periodically, especially in cold and damp seasons, develop herpes on the lip. It is an insidious virus that immediately begins to manifest itself against the background of a general decrease in immunity. How to properly treat herpes on the lips at home is a question our readers often ask.

Causes of herpes on the lips

The causes of the herpes virus include:

somatic, chronic diseases;
intoxication of the body;
stressful situations, overexertion;
excessive physical activity;
drugs, alcohol, nicotine;
unbalanced diet;
period.

In some cases, its appearance is influenced by prolonged exposure to sunlight and unlimited consumption of coffee. Herpes is easily transmitted through household contact and sexual contact.

Also, herpes on the lips can be transmitted through kissing and or other human contact. It is enough for the virus to get on the mucous membrane or a microtrauma or a crack in the skin for infection to occur. Even if the patient’s scabs have already dried up, and for some reason you decide to touch them or touch them, and then do not immediately wash your hands, viruses remain on them, which you spread to all objects and the body.

For prevention, you need to follow simple hygiene rules:

do not contact people with herpes;
use hygienic lipstick;
increase immunity;
avoid stress;
don't get too cold.

Which doctor treats

The choice of specialist depends on the area where the rash appears. You can contact a therapist, he will give you a referral to a specialist. If a rash appears on the skin, a dermatologist will be able to prescribe the correct treatment. For herpetic rashes on the genitals, women should contact a gynecologist, men - a urologist or andrologist. If the virus has infected the oral cavity, consultation with a dentist is necessary. An immunologist will help you choose the right medications to restore your immune system.

Treatment of herpes on the lips at home

Home treatment for this type of cold on the lips should be carried out comprehensively. Strengthening decoctions, natural antiseptics and even some medications will help. You shouldn’t just lubricate herpes with one, even the best, composition and think that it will go away as quickly as possible, use several methods.

The use of natural biostimulants - folk remedies

It is quite possible to cure herpes in one day, provided that therapy is started in the first 12 hours. During this period, the symptoms are not yet sufficiently pronounced, slight tingling and slight swelling occur. If you apply Gerpevir, Zovirax or Acyclovir to your skin at this time, the symptoms will disappear in one day. You can also use Corvalol alcohol lotions, they are effective and leave no traces. Traditional healers claim that you can get rid of herpes by applying a hot spoon to your lips. However, this method is not safe.

Aloe leaf juice

In this folk recipe, it is recommended not just to use it for lubrication, but to drink the liquid. You need to drink a small spoon for seven days. Squeeze the juice right before drinking, take a quarter of an hour before meals. Aloe juice perfectly strengthens the immune system, and the disease does not manifest itself for a long time after treatment.

Echinacea tincture

Herpes on the lips appears due to weakened immunity, so many methods of traditional treatment are aimed at strengthening the body's protective functions. Echinacea purpurea tincture is often used for quick treatment. You can buy it for pennies at a pharmacy. Take a small spoon three times a day a quarter of an hour before meals. It is important that the last appointment does not occur later than 18.00 pm. The course of treatment lasts from 2 to 4 weeks.

Hydrogen peroxide

Using hydrogen peroxide, you can only eliminate the symptoms of the disease, but not eradicate the virus from the inside. The ulcer must be treated with peroxide 2 times a day. Perform this procedure until the rash disappears completely. To treat herpes on the labia, you can use exclusively 3% hydrogen peroxide for a week.

Colloidal silver

If formations on the lips appear frequently, then use colloidal silver for treatment. You need to drink half a teaspoon orally. Do this twice a day between meals, dissolving in 0.2 liters of regular cold water. The course of treatment should not last more than 10 days.

Arnica infusion

Add 0.25 liters of boiling water to a large spoon of dried arnica flowers. Leave for 120 minutes, then strain. Lubricate the wounds with infusion every two hours. The plant helps relieve symptoms and promotes speedy healing.

Aspen leaves

If you can collect aspen leaves in a clean area, they will help get rid of a cold on your lips. You need to pass them through a meat grinder, put the pulp in bandages and squeeze out the juice. Apply the resulting juice to the wound up to three times a day. Healing will come quickly.

Egg white

It is better to take the whites of homemade chicken eggs. The store-bought product simply does not contain enough of the necessary beneficial components that actively fight herpes. Separate the protein, beat into foam and lubricate the herpes several times a day. By the way, if it is not possible to get chicken eggs, then it is better to use the white of purchased quail eggs.

Sea buckthorn or amaranth oil

Or amaranth oil is sold in pharmacies. They can lubricate the formation up to seven times a day. This is a simple and accessible folk method.

Tea tree oil

Calendula and zinc ointment

In this case, you need to moisten the rash on your lip with alcohol tincture five times a day. After a couple of minutes, lubricate the formation with zinc ointment.

Validol tablets

These inexpensive pills are taken to prevent heart disease, but will also help with herpes. The tablet should be ground into powder and sprinkled on the lips in the area of herpes formation. Place the second tablet under the tongue until completely dissolved. According to reviews, the inflammation should go away within a few days. Carry out the procedure in the morning and evening. Doctors dispute the effectiveness of Validol in the treatment of herpes.

Garlic

One of the effective methods of traditional medicine to combat herpes is garlic. It is important that its juice gets on the bubbles. First, a clove of garlic is peeled, cut into 2 parts and rubbed into the affected area. When tingling occurs, you cannot immediately wash off the juice; you must leave it for a while. Perform the procedure 3-4 times a day.

Swamp cinquefoil

This herb provides enhanced resistance to herpes. You need to collect fresh grass and grind it to a paste. Then apply several times a day.

Tincture of calendula and oleoresin

This method of folk treatment for rashes on the lips is recommended if they bother you too often. You need to find resin in the pine trees in the forest, place it in a jar and fill it with alcohol tincture of calendula (buy at a pharmacy). Leave for ten days, shaking. Then lubricate the wound.

Laundry soap

When a person feels that herpes will appear on his lips, he needs to take laundry soap. Rinse the area on your lip where itching occurs. Do not wipe, but simply blot with a paper napkin. Apply baby powder to the affected area, do this three times a day.

Try to choose methods that are easier to implement and with which you can complete the full course of treatment.

Treatment with medications

To get rid of blisters on the lips, various preparations are used: ointments, creams, gels and tablets. For more effective treatment for advanced forms, it is necessary to apply a topical agent and take the drug orally. The most common medical pharmaceutical drugs:

Valaciclovir (destroys viral cells from the inside);
Famvir (has a rapid effect against the pathogenic herpes virus);
Zovirax ointment (does not damage healthy cells);
Panavir-gel (herbal-based antiviral drug);
Acyclovir (blocks the synthesis of the viral DNA chain).

When the tablets enter the body, they are distributed throughout all areas, therefore they have a strong effect, but have a greater number of contraindications. The modern market for antiherpetic drugs is quite large.

Acyclovir

Acyclovir successfully relieves the disease and its symptoms. Available in two forms:

Pills. Before use, you should consult your doctor and inform him about other medications you are taking (if any). You also need to indicate chronic diseases, since the medicine has contraindications. Tablets are more effective than ointments. They are used not only for treatment, but also for prevention.
Ointment. It is important to use at the first symptoms of herpes. Before use, the affected area must be treated with a cotton swab dipped in warm water. The ointment is applied with a cosmetic stick so as not to spread the virus. Perform the procedure every 3–4 hours.

Tetracycline ointment

The ointment is a bacteriostatic antibiotic. Used for the prevention and treatment of secondary bacterial infection. Apply a thin layer to the affected area 4 times a day, covering 1 cm of healthy skin around the resulting cold. If the bubble bursts and a wound forms, avoid getting the drug into this area. When treated from the first symptoms, the result will be visible the next day; if the disease is more protracted, it will take 3-4 days.

Contraindicated for use: with low leukocytes in the blood, mycoses, individual intolerance to components, impaired liver function, stomach ulcers.

Fenistil Pencivir

The drug is based on penciclovir, which helps fight herpes. A local drug, an analogue of Famvir, has an antiviral effect, reduces itching, pain and other signs of the disease. Used every 2 hours for four days.

Levomekol

This ointment will cure a bacterial infection in advanced forms of herpes. Levomekol is used when an abscess forms on the skin. The drug acts only on the desired areas. Symptom relief is felt within an hour. But the drug must be used correctly. If you are taking antibiotics, it is better to discuss this with your doctor, since taking medications in parallel leads to candidiasis.

Viferon

Viferon is available in the form of candles. They are prescribed mainly for the rectal form. The drug has an antiviral effect and helps improve immunity. It is allowed to be used even by newborns, premature infants and expectant mothers during the second and third trimester. Contraindicated in the first trimester of pregnancy.

Corvalol

If treatment with Corvalol is started immediately, without waiting for foci of inflammation to appear, the disease will go into a latent form. By cauterizing the resulting ulcers, the process of recovery and healing will be accelerated. Using Corvalol, make lotions, moisten cotton wool in the preparation and hold for several seconds. Perform the procedure every 3 hours.

Ointment and gel

A wide range of ointments have been developed for the treatment of herpes rashes. The most popular are:

Zovirax (based on Acyclovir);
Vivorax (prohibited for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding);
Fenistil-Pentsivir (contraindicated in children under 12 years of age, expectant and nursing mothers).

The most effective drugs in gel form:

Viru-Merz Serol (based on Tromantadine, non-addictive);
Panavir (contains a hexose glycoside, increases immunity, fights the virus);
Gerpenox (reduces swelling, relieves pain, accelerates healing);
Infagel (stimulates the immune system, suppresses the virus).

Herpes patch on lips

There are antiherpetic patches (Compeed). If they are used at the initial signs of the disease (mild tingling, twitching, redness), then they can prevent the further appearance of herpes. The patch has several positive properties:

makes the wound invisible to others;
maintains an aesthetic appearance;
reduces symptoms;
prevents infection;
promotes healing.

How can you cauterize

Common and effective cauterizing agents are tincture of propolis, calendula, valocordin, and corvalol. They are safer than using iodine. But it is worth remembering that all alcohol tinctures relieve symptoms, but do not remove the virus from the body.

Toothpaste

Paste for herpes is used in two ways.

Apply a thin layer to the affected area and leave to dry. Apply to the rash until the paste falls off along with it.
During the day, smear the sore every 2 hours (apply the paste for 20 minutes, then rinse with warm water).

It should be borne in mind that these methods are not absolutely safe, as they can cause an allergic reaction.

Features of herpes treatment

During pregnancy

Since many drugs are contraindicated for women during this period, you can use folk remedies that are safer:

make lotions with Corvalol;
lubricate the inflammation site with Forest Balm toothpaste;
lubricate with oils (sea buckthorn or rosehip).

It is still undesirable to self-medicate; you should seek advice from a doctor. Zovirax is often prescribed to pregnant women. Never take antiviral pills without consulting your doctor.

In children

Treatment of herpes in children should be comprehensive: destroying the virus, strengthening the immune system, and following strict instructions for using medications. The sooner you start using ointments, the better and faster the results will be. In traditional medicine, the following are most often prescribed: Acyclovir, Valacyclovir, Penciclovir, Famciclovir.

Therapy using antiviral ointments lasts up to 5 days. The medicine must be applied in a thin layer to the affected area every 3-4 hours. The following drugs are suitable for immunotherapy: Cycloferon, Viferon.

On the labia

They use antiviral and antiherpetic drugs in ointments and tablets (Acyclovir, Gerpevir, Zovirax). The tablets are distributed in the body, destroy the virus and block its development. Ointments are used to get rid of unpleasant symptoms (itching, burning, pain). Together they demonstrate a pronounced effect. Treatment must be supported with immunomodulators. The first thing you should do is consult a specialist; the course of treatment will be determined by your doctor.

Absolutely every person, regardless of age.

Herpes is an infection that, once it enters the nervous system, spreads there and remains forever. 95% of the world's population are carriers of herpes. Only in some people does it “sleep”, and in about 20% it periodically comes out.

Be careful, the sores have woken up from their sleep!

The manifestation of herpes is called relapse.

The following factors can provoke it:

Herpes can affect the skin and mucous membranes, but most often appears on the lips.

It is important to remember that it is much easier to cure a cold that is just starting to appear. To do this, you need to monitor the condition of your lips and pay attention in time to the prerequisites for the appearance of a cold:

increased sensitivity of the lips;
tingling.

It is impossible to cure herpes completely; it is necessary, at the first manifestations of the disease or at subsequent stages, to take a number of measures to get rid of its manifestations as quickly as possible.

Treating herpes at home can reduce the frequency of colds on the lips, reduce the symptoms of the disease and shorten the period of exacerbation.

Despite the benefits, you should not get carried away with licorice tea, as the risk of poisoning is high. Also, taking licorice root orally is not recommended for the treatment of herpes in pregnant women, as well as people suffering from kidney failure and hypertension.

Other remedies available at home

In addition to ointments and decoctions, you can treat colds on the lips with the usual means that are always available in every home:

Cautions and nuances

If herpes appears on the lips, it is important to take active measures to prevent its appearance in the eyes, mucous membranes and genitals.

To do this, you need to wash your hands more often and better. If you touch the herpes on your lip, and then touch your eyes with these hands, then the possibility of a cold appearing in your eyes is almost 100%.

It is also important to closely monitor the last stage of herpes development, when it is about to break out. At this moment, along with the leaking liquid, a million viruses will be released.

If you accidentally touch the sore at this time, you should immediately wash your hands.

How to behave during disease activity:

if possible, do not touch the herpes at all, and after treating it with any means, wash your hands well;
use a separate towel and dishes so as not to spread the disease to the rest of the family;
the resulting bubbles and crusts should not be torn off or pressed, this can give impetus to the spread of the disease to new areas of the skin;
during illness, you should avoid close contact with your partner, including kissing;
Do not wet contact lenses with saliva under any circumstances, otherwise you can introduce the virus into the mucous membrane of the eye;
All products are applied only with cotton swabs and not with your hands.

When is it time to see a doctor?

If herpes on the lips is caused by one of the reasons indicated at the beginning of the article, then it should go away in a few days. If the illness lasts longer 10 days, then you need to consult a dermatologist.

A virus that does not go away for a long time and cannot be treated may indicate more serious diseases of the body, for example, immunodeficiency.

In this case, treatment should be strictly according to the doctor’s recommendations and under his supervision.

If you notice that watery pimples have formed on your beautiful lips, then this indicates that it is necessary to begin treatment for herpes.

Although, based on modern medical knowledge, you will have to come to terms with the fact that only the appearance of the manifestations of the disease is eliminated, but you will not be able to completely forget about the virus. The fact is that it has the property of being integrated into the genetics of nerve cells, due to which changes occur in the immune system and the corresponding type of antibodies is produced.

If the immune system is weakened, because the body lacks vitamins, when the body is overcooled or stressed, a characteristic cold begins to appear on the lips.

Treatment for herpes on the lips is selected for each sick person individually, after examination by a doctor and passing certain tests.

Types of herpes virus

Herpes viruses are common among people today; doctors have identified some types of viruses:

The first type. This type tends to appear in the lips, mucous membranes, skin around the eyes, and also on the genitals.
Second type. This type of viral disease causes inflammation in the genitals.
Third type. This type of virus can cause chickenpox or shingles, in this case blisters appear in the torso area along nerves, for example, in the ribs.

The manifestation of a viral disease can be identified by the state of the immune system, the type of virus and its prevalence. In general, herpes is difficult to treat after the first infection, since in this case no antibodies are observed in the body. Recovery is hampered by the weakened immunity of the patient and the immature immune system of the ill three-year-old child.

Many patients come to doctors with herpes that appears on the lips, caused by the first type of virus. This form of the disease is common; antibodies to this variety are observed in 90% of people who have reached the age of 40.

The second type of virus is mainly encountered by a person when he begins sexual activity. As for antibodies to this disease, they are detected in 5th of the US population.

In Russia, it is not customary to register such diseases, so no one knows the exact figure. This form of the disease ranks third among STDs. It is said that 10% of adults living in developed countries are affected by herpes of the reproductive system.

Danger and consequences of herpes viruses

The main danger of the disease, no matter what type it is, is incurability. Once a virus enters the body, it tends to remain there for life, thereby placing a large burden on the immune system.

If the immune system is weakened, it can cause relapses of the disease from time to time, so the body’s resources are depleted, due to which various pathogenic microflora (staphylococcus, E. coli) are not properly counteracted. As a result, prostatitis, vesiculitis and other diseases may begin to develop.

It is definitely worth starting treatment on time for herpes simplex, which manifests itself on the lips, as well as the second type of virus. Otherwise, you risk developing a generalized herpes infection, which can damage the central nervous system, skin, mucous membranes, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract and liver. If a complication of a genital disease occurs, cervical and prostate cancer begins to develop.

It is not so common to find herpes type 4 Epstein-Barr; it tends to cause cancer of the lymph nodes.

As for the fifth herpes virus, it can also be found rarely, and pregnant women should especially be wary of it, since this virus can cause cytomegalovirus infection, which is manifested by a decrease in the child’s intelligence and motor skills. This disease is transmitted in an unknown way; many doctors claim that you can become infected from breast milk, urine, semen and saliva.

How is the disease transmitted?

Pay attention!

You can become infected with the common herpes virus directly through direct contact, everyday objects, airborne droplets, if you stand next to a person who is coughing, yawning and is infected with the herpes virus.

You can also become infected from a carrier who does not show external symptoms of the disease. Genital herpes can be infected through kissing, saliva, or sexual contact. Basically, the disease occurs in an acute stage, so it is enough to come into contact with a patient once to become infected.

As for the second form of the disease, it cannot be transmitted if you visit a swimming pool, bathhouse, use a shared toilet seat, towel and shared utensils.

What tests are taken?

To determine the presence of a herpes virus in the body and its type, it is necessary to examine an enzyme-linked immunosorbent blood test. If a virus enters the body, IgM immunoglobulins are observed in the blood; after the relapse occurs, IgG is detected there.

The ELISA test determines whether there are IgM and IgG in the blood, as well as the type of virus and immunoglobulins, or rather the number of immunoglobulins. All this data is necessary to approximately assess the state of immunity.

The type of disease can also be determined using polymerase chain reaction; in this case, the material that is examined should be taken from the places where the rash occurs. This method helps to find the virus in the process of relapse, as well as to understand what type it is.

The disadvantage of this method is that it is necessary to comply with special requirements for sterility and maintain the required temperature indicators during the research process. If all these rules are not followed, the results of this method will be useless, and the diagnosis, of course, will be incorrect.

Causes of herpes recurrences

To prevent an exacerbation of labial and genital herpes, you should not:

supercool;
be exposed to stress;
overwork physically and psychologically;
perform physical activity during the menstrual cycle;
lead an unhealthy lifestyle during pregnancy;
sunbathing intensely;
abuse alcoholic beverages;
take some medications.

Often with this disease, the patient experiences fever, weakness, and the lymph nodes increase in size and cause pain. Joints and muscles also begin to ache. The virus may also cause:

burning;
tingling;
itching on the lips;
red spots on the skin;
watery pimples.

After a little time, the contents of the pimples begin to become cloudy, they burst and ulcers appear. Then they begin to dry out and a crust forms. Do not touch the water bubbles or peel off the crusts with your hands. During treatment, be sure to wash your hands and use your own personal towel.

Pay attention!

In general, symptoms of the disease begin to subside within a week. There is no need to self-medicate herpes for a long time. Otherwise, you will weaken the immune system, and the risk of tumor formations of various nature will also increase. If the measures you took did not produce significant improvements, then be sure to contact your doctor again and get tested again.

Why is herpes dangerous during pregnancy?

Every woman infected with herpes is a type 1 virus, even before pregnancy, her blood contains antibodies that tend to protect the fetus. But it is very dangerous if the first infection occurred during pregnancy.

In this case, the viral disease can pass through the placental protection. And this indicates that a premature baby may be born, the fetus may receive developmental defects, and may not survive and die right in the mother’s womb, because the body reacts violently to the primary infection.

If type 2 herpes worsens, doctors recommend a cesarean section. If a woman decides to give birth on her own, in order to prevent the baby from becoming infected, the virus must be neutralized with the help of medications.

Home remedies for herpes

If you decide to start treating the external manifestations of the virus on the lips or genitals, do not forget that you will not defeat the virus, since it tends to integrate itself into the genetics of the nerve cell apparatus. It is impossible to completely cure the disease; from time to time it will remind you of what lives in the body.

And remember, in order to avoid infection, you should not only avoid contact with carriers of the virus, but also often take walks in the fresh air, do not forget about physical exercise, and always try to receive only positive emotions.

If infection has occurred, then you should help your immune system: take vitamins, try to strengthen your body, carry out the treatment course prescribed by your doctor if a rash appears.

In the process of treating herpes on the lips, as well as during remission, the absence of symptoms, it is necessary to give up bad habits, that is, do not abuse alcoholic beverages, do not eat a lot of sweet foods.

Beef, chicken, fish, dairy products, citruses, peaches, apples, bananas should not be excluded from the diet, and of course, do not forget about black currants.

Make your diet varied and include foods rich in zinc, because this trace element quickly heals wounds. This trace element is contained in: brewer's yeast, mushrooms, pumpkin seeds, blueberries, nuts and oysters.

Treatment of herpes on the lips and face with medications

Basically, after the patient has been examined by a doctor and a diagnosis has been made, the doctor must prescribe treatment. In order to eliminate itching and burning, it is necessary to resort to the use of various means.

For proper and competent treatment, do not forget about creams, gels, ointments and tablets:

cream Acyclovir, Valaciclovir, Oxolinic, Viru-Merz;
gel Allomedin, Infagel;
tablets Gerpevir, Remantadine, Minaker.

If you treat your lips with antiviral drugs before the rash appears, but already in the presence of a burning sensation, you can prevent external manifestations. If a rash has already appeared, it means their healing time will be shortened.

How to treat herpes with folk remedies?

Folk remedies for treating herpes at home are very popular and effective today. And many people resort to natural and safe healing methods that are successfully practiced by traditional healers.

Recipes and treatments

In order to eliminate external manifestations in the lip area, it is necessary to lubricate the healthy skin near the lesions, and then the lesion itself. Thanks to this, the virus will not spread further. To lubricate the sores, use a cotton swab.

For example, with an overdose of celandine, severe poisoning occurs, vomiting and upset of the digestive organs occur. But at the same time, this natural remedy goes well with pharmaceutical drugs.

Folk remedies for treating herpes at home will help you quickly cope with the problem and defeat the disease.

The disease herpes is quite unpleasant, and to prevent it from affecting you, try to lead a healthy lifestyle, observe personal hygiene rules, strengthen your immune system and have a positive psychological attitude.

When unpleasant and painful pimples appear on our lips, we delicately call this phenomenon a cold. Although in fact it is just herpes, the viruses of which are present in the body of almost every person, and the blisters on the lips belong to type I herpes - the most common. It is almost impossible to cure herpes completely, but with the right approach it is possible to remove its external symptoms in a fairly short time: after all, there are folk remedies for herpes on the lips that are available to each of us.

Herpes on the lips is a problem that is relevant all year round. In winter, its appearance is provoked by low air temperatures and ARVI epidemics, in spring by vitamin deficiency, in summer by swimming in open reservoirs and exposure to the open sun. In addition, even kissing a person who is a carrier of this virus can cause the development of herpes. Pharmacological drugs that can correct the situation are not affordable for everyone, and folk remedies for herpes on the lips with the same therapeutic effect will be much cheaper.

1. Folk remedies for herpes on the lips: fir oil

Fir oil, as is known, is an almost colorless liquid (sometimes it has a light yellow tint) with a characteristic pine smell. As a folk remedy for herpes on the lips, it is used as follows: every two hours you need to lubricate the affected areas of the lips with a cotton pad soaked in fir oil. This method of treatment has its drawbacks: each time after applying oil to the blisters, the burning sensation intensifies, and even when fir oil gets into the mouth, a persistent specific taste appears. But in just a couple of days your lips will become healthy and beautiful again.

Fir oil will help your lips become bright and beautiful again.

2. Folk remedies for herpes on the lips: propolis tincture

Another fairly popular remedy for herpes on the lips is propolis tincture. The principle of its operation is based on the fact that it first “burns” the bubbles, and then dries them and at the same time disinfects the wounds. This procedure itself is even somewhat aggressive, so it is recommended that after “propolis” treatment of the affected areas of the skin, lubricate them with some light soothing cream - for example, with chamomile extract. Calendula ointment is also quite suitable for these purposes.

3. Folk remedies for herpes on the lips: cologne and valocordin

This method is based not so much on a therapeutic effect, but on a disinfectant: cologne made with alcohol not only kills pathogenic bacteria that have settled on your lips, but also “burns” the affected areas of the skin, promoting their speedy regeneration. The same can be said about valocordin. A cotton pad moistened with cologne or Valocordin should be pressed to the sore lips and held for several seconds. It will be unpleasant and even painful, but if you want to get rid of herpes on your lips, be patient a little.

4. Folk remedies for herpes on the lips: black tea

Among the effective folk remedies for herpes on the lips is freshly brewed black tea: for medicinal purposes it should be brewed somewhat stronger than for drinking. True, this is a somewhat painful method, but for some it is more preferable than exposing the wound to cologne and other alcohol tinctures. Soak a cotton swab in hot tea and apply it to your lips. Some people use a regular teaspoon instead of a tampon, since the metal retains heat much longer. It is advisable to do this procedure several times a day.

Freshly brewed black tea will not only give you energy, but also cure herpes.

5. Folk remedies for herpes on the lips: garlic

Garlic, which has proven itself well as a means of treating and preventing various colds, is quite capable of acting as a “homemade” cure for herpes on the lips. Two cloves of garlic need to be passed through a garlic press or grated on a fine grater, add to it a tablespoon of yogurt, low-fat sour cream or vegetable oil, a tablespoon of flour and the same amount of honey. The prepared ointment is applied to the lips, allowed to dry, then replaced with a fresh portion and this is done several times.

6. Folk remedies for herpes on the lips: ash

And people used this method in ancient times, since the ash was always at hand - in the stove, chimney, or left after a fire. No, you don’t need to make a fire to treat with ash: just burn a few sheets of paper so that you end up with a tablespoon of ash. It is mixed with half a tablespoon of honey and the lips are smeared with this mixture.

7. Folk remedies for herpes on the lips: Kalanchoe

If you have Kalanchoe growing on your windowsill at home, then you have absolutely no need to worry about the appearance of herpes on the lips, as well as the formation of cracks in the corners of the mouth, called jams. You need to lubricate painful areas with freshly squeezed juice from aloe leaves three to four times a day. Don’t worry about the fact that your indoor plant will be left completely without leaves because of this: the treatment period will not take more than two to three days. In addition, this method can be used in combination with others, then the result will certainly not take long to arrive.

8. Folk remedies for herpes on the lips: table salt

When the appearance of herpes blisters is associated with hypothermia, and they are small in size, you can limit yourself to applying grains of ordinary table salt to them. And some folk healers recommend simply taking a small pinch of salt, putting it on the tongue and dissolving until completely dissolved.

9. Folk remedies for herpes on the lips: aloe juice

A plant such as aloe vera is known for its beneficial effects on the skin, and, in addition, its juice can localize inflammatory processes. The method of treating lips with aloe juice is extremely simple: you just need to lubricate the sore spot several times a day. And for greater effectiveness, it is advisable to drink one teaspoon of this juice before meals, after mixing it with honey, since it itself is quite bitter.

Aloe vera juice is one of the best helpers in beauty matters.

10. Folk remedies for herpes on the lips: soda solution

Brew a tablespoon of baking soda with a glass of boiling water, and then bring this mixture to a boil over low heat. Attention: you cannot boil it! The solution for the treatment of herpes on the lips should be used exclusively hot, making lotions using a piece of cotton wool. It is not recommended to remove the soda crust that has formed on the lips until it falls off on its own. Like most of the other folk remedies listed in this article for treating herpes on the lips, this method is quite painful.

Traditional methods of getting rid of herpes on the lips.

When it appears, you need to lubricate your lip with toothpaste with mint, and even better, tooth powder applied before bed helps. After this, usually by the morning a crust appears on the sore, which prevents it from growing and promotes rapid healing.

Earwax can also be cured.
This method, although a little unpleasant, is effective. If you smear ear wax on your lip at night, then by the morning you will notice that the sore has become much smaller and the painful sensations have disappeared.
Some quickly get rid of herpes on the lips using aloe juice or Valocordin, although for me these methods turned out to be ineffective.

And I would also like to remind you that, although it is impossible to completely remove this virus from the body, it is still possible and necessary to fight it with all the means described above, otherwise the number of viruses will increase, which will lead to complete infection of the body, and this should not be allowed under any circumstances. Well, if folk remedies do not help, then you should consult an infectious disease specialist who will select the necessary ointments and tablets for you. And one more thing - do not allow your immune system to weaken, harden yourself, eat fortified foods, and then the problem of how to quickly get rid of herpes on the lips will simply disappear.
