Q&A: Aromatherapy for Coldsores

Q: Do you have any remedies or suggestions for my coldsores?

A: Dab undiluted Tea Tree onto the coldsore regularly. This is perfectly safe, however, you need to ensure that it is fresh and good quality. Lemon is also anti-viral but may well sting and be inappropriate if you have sensitive skin.

Your immune system is clearly low so you should review your diet and stress levels. My personal favourite “de-stressing oils” include Bergamot, Geranium, May Chang, Frankincense, Clary Sage and Green Mandarin.
