Why Do I Get Cold Sores
July 30, 2008 7:14 pm HealthMost of us carry the herpes simplex 1 virus which is the virus that causes those terrible, ugly cold sores that plague most of us. The problem is that medical research has not come up with a cure for the virus which most of us have. The virus usually lies dormant in our bodies, but when we are affected by another virus, stress, a lack of sleep then it becomes active.
Sometimes over the counter anti cold sore medications can help a little but for many these just don’t work. For others they cause a numbing feeling, and still others report other side effects. Many people are finding that the natural remedies our grandmothers used seem to work best. It is amazing how well our bodies respond to natural products.
