Cold Sore Therapy (CST)

Having a beast of a time with cold sores?

CST is a soft ointment designed to help you through the discomfort of cold sores. It aims to reduce swelling, peeling, and irritation caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1).

How CST Helps:

Reduces Inflammation: Soothes the intense tingling, burning, and irritation.
Eases Discomfort: Combines natural anti-viral botanicals, beeswax, and lanolin to calm irritated skin.
Assists Healing: Supports the skin's recovery process during this uncomfortable time.

When to Apply CST:

Apply as soon as you notice discomfort, itchiness, or tingling.
Continue to apply as frequently as needed.
Blister Timeline:
- Blisters may subside within 2-3 days, but complete healing can take 3 weeks or more, depending on your physiology and ability to suppress the virus.
- Early action may resolve symptoms much faster.

Additional Recommendations:

At the first hint of a cold sore, consider seeking a medical script for an antiviral such as Ezovir or cold sore tablets with Lysine hydrochloride.
Sadly, there is no instant remedy for this virus, but CST can help reduce inflammation and discomfort while assisting healing.

Do These Botanicals Actually Work?

Yes! Research supports the effectiveness of CST's natural ingredients:

Frankincense (Boswellia serrata): Known for its anti-inflammatory and healing properties.
Lemongrass: Shown to completely inhibit viral replication at concentrations as low as 0.1% (source: PubMed).

What Causes Cold Sores?

Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1):
- The primary cause of cold sores, often appearing on the lips (herpes labialis).
- HSV-1 is a highly contagious virus, typically spread through direct contact with infected lesions or fluids (e.g., saliva).
HSV-2: Increasingly, HSV-2 can also cause cold sores.

Tips for Managing Cold Sores:

Hygiene: Bleach or sterilize your toothbrush and avoid sharing personal items during an outbreak.
Early Action: Catching symptoms early and taking action can significantly reduce the severity and duration of symptoms.

Client Feedback

Oh, I've got a cold sore and the Cold Sore Balm works an absolute treat - of course like all your products xxx
Spresa 7/02/2025 SMS

I'm so grateful for your CST - cold sore paste, which has helped get me through a horrible case of covid-19. The Sinus Ease was great too, but the CST I find I use over a wider area of skin, and it's such a relief. Please keep making these. Thanks,

Inhibits Viral Activity: Formulated with lemongrass essential oil, which scientific research shows can completely inhibit viral replication at concentrations as low as 0.1%.

Calms Swelling and Burning: Infused with frankincense (Boswellia serrata), for anti-inflammatory properties that ease intense prodrome irritation.

Prevents Cracking and Peeling: Uses a protective base of beeswax and lanolin to lock in moisture, softening tight skin patches and preventing painful cracking as the blemish heals.

Accelerates Skin Recovery: Supports the tissue regeneration process, helping to streamline your body's natural timeline for resolving lesions.

Safe, Non-Toxic Barrier: Delivers targeted, therapeutic botanical relief without relying on harsh synthetics or drying chemicals on delicate lip tissue.

Contains, but not limited to:

Essential oils: Frankincense & Lemongrass
Beeswax, Lanolin

Detailed Botanicals Information

Apply a small amount of the ointment directly to the affected area of discomfort as frequently as needed to keep the skin continuously coated and moisturized.

Hygiene Tip: Because the virus is highly contagious, wash your hands thoroughly before and after every application. Avoid sharing towels, cups, or cosmetics, and safely sanitize or replace your toothbrush at the first sign of an outbreak.

🩺 Medical Recommendation: While there is no instant cure for the virus, catching symptoms early yields the best results. If the outbreak is a bad one, consider combining early CST application with a medical prescription for an oral antiviral (like Ezovir) or over-the-counter Lysine hydrochloride tablets. For future outbreaks apply CST immediately irritation signs occur to help reduce a full blown episode.

Apply at the absolute first hint of a cold sore—such as a sudden itch, tight sensation, or localized tingling on the lips.

Early action can drastically reduce the severity of the outbreak, dropping the standard multi-week blister timeline down to just 2 to 3 days.

Scar Healing Balm: Transition to this nourishing balm once the active blister has dried up and flattened to accelerate underlying tissue repair and fade any lingering skin discoloration.
