Using Oil of Oregano on Cold Sores

by Anonymous

I have tried and used everything for my cold sores. All of the top name brands and an antibiotic. Nothing works. I still have the cold sore for about 7 to 10 days depending on how quick I get the medicine on. BUT, Oil of Oregano, speeds my healing time of the cold sore by about 5 days. I feel the onset ( tingling) feeling of the cold sore, I take 3 drops orally, every morning while the cold sore is coming. My cold sore never gets really big like they usually do.

Thanks for sharing your results with us. While I haven't found any research studies on Oil of Oregano and herpes, I did find one about an oil that shares some of the same ingredients as oregano oil and its effectiveness against the herpes virus.

Researchers looked at clove essential oil's antiviral properties against herpes. Clove essential oil contains carvacrol and thymol - the same ingredients found in Oil of Oregano. The scientists found clove essential oil exerts antiviral properties against the herpes virus. This may explain how Oil of Oregano may have reduced the severity of your herpes outbreaks. Thanks again for your comments and please keep us up to date on your progress.
