Though cold sores are caused by a form of the herpes virus (HSV), the winter weather can provide the perfect environment for them to thrive.

The NHS points out that cold sores "usually clear up on their own within 10 days, but there are things you can do to help ease the pain.".

Among its uses, though, is apparently its ability to soothe the pain associated with a cold sore.

Patients are recommended to apply the diluted solution directly to the cold sore.

Research on the effectiveness of aloe vera on cold sores, however, is still ongoing.

Every Day Health recommends dabbing a bit of aloe vera on your cold sore throughout the day to ease discomfort.

A study of 116 people with the virus found that those who applied a lemon balm cream to their lip sores saw a significant improvement in redness and swelling.

Once you have mixed the oil with a gentle carrier oil, dab it directly onto the cold sore using a clean cotton swab
