Cold Sores - BY AIRIKAJANE
Love your site there are some very useful tips! My favorite tip is for cold sores, very annoying to us all. When you feel the first tingle start taking L-lysine this is a dietary supplement and it works so well. If you start it early, the sore will not usually develop. If you already have the sore it will help clear it up fast. I have recommended this to everyone I know and it really does work.

Another thing I noticed there are a lot of breakout remedies on this site, one thing you need to remember is that over drying your skin can and usually does cause breakouts so always remember to use a good moisturizer with spf!
Peroxide Ear Remedy- BY MICHAEL J.
Swipe inside your ears with 3% hydrogen peroxide on a cotton tip, let it bubble up for a minute then swipe with a clean cotton tip..this helps to kill any bacteria that is inside the ear canal. Used daily after your shower, you will notice a reduction in cold and flus.
Sore Throat - BY KANDICE P.
Gargle with warm salty water if you have a sore throat. (2 tablespoons of salt to 8 ounce water.)
