About Cold Sores (Fever Blisters)

Cold sores are small, fluid-filled blisters caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), typically appearing on or around the lips and healing within 7–14 days. The virus remains dormant in nerve cells and can reactivate due to triggers such as stress, illness, sun exposure, or immune suppression. Many people seek natural alternatives to conventional antivirals due to cost, accessibility, or a preference for holistic approaches that address both symptom relief and immune resilience.
