The author's own remedy for getting rid of a cold sore fast is one or two 500 mg tablets of L-lysine, which you can get at many grocery stores and pharmacies. One dose may make a cold sore disappear over night. Always carefully read and follow the instructions on the supplements you use.
If you suffer from painful cold sores or you need a healing lip balm without any harmful chemicals in it, this easy recipe can help. One way to ensure the purity of your cosmetics and medicinal salves is to make your own. It’s easy.
You will need a double-boiler.
Warning: Be sure to use essential oils of lavender and calendula and not fragrance oil. Fragrance oils are harsh chemicals that are blended to give the illusion of a particular scent. Essential oils are the natural extracts of a particular herb and impart healing properties.

1 ounce emu oil
1 ounce almond oil
1 ounce avocado oil
1/2 ounce beeswax
1/4 ounce aloe vera gel
6 to 10 drops of lavender oil

Combine the first four ingredients, emu, almond, avocado oils and beeswax into the double boiler. Melt these ingredients together. Then stir in the aloe vera gel. Remove from heat and allow it to cool a little before stirring in the last four ingredients. Stir well and pour into a tin.
