Cold Sore Triggers and Natural Cures for Fever Blister Eruptions

Author: Dee Cohen

Are you eating foods and involved in activites that may make you vulnerable to cold sores and herpes outbreaks? Let's review some triggers to be sure that you can stay in the best health and avoid these nuisances that can last a ten days or more on your lip.

1)  Watch your intake of the amino acid argine. This is common in protein powder supplements and foods, chocolates and products made from peanuts. Peanut butter can be found in thai dishes and hidden in after school snacks. Also peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are popular for everyone. Take lysine which will help counteract the argine, but try to cut back on it as well.

2)  Be careful around uv light and sunlight. Whether artificial or natural, uv light and sun bathing can be a trigger for cold sores. Be sure to use spf protection on your lips which are very fragile and vulnerable.

3)  If you're a female, your hormones around menstruation may cause imbalances that create a cold sore. Be sure to eat very well around this time of the month as well as get a lot of rest so your system is strong.

4) Be aware that a big event like a school prom, work presentation or wedding can make you stressed and cause loss of sleep , anxiety and a cold sore. They are just when you don't want them.

Stay conscious of these factors and take lysine as well as vitamin b complex and vitamin c to assure your body stays strong. Avoid extensive dental work right before a big event as this can also stimulate a cold sore for some. When your mouth is stretched and kept open for long periods of time the tissue can be vulnerable.
