Cold sores: Nine all-natural ways to treat... | Chatelaine.com

We’ve all been there. You’re getting ready for a big presentation or a first date when you notice a small red blister making an unwelcome appearance. It’s a cold sore and of course applying an over-the-counter cream to get rid of it only makes it more obvious.

Failing to follow a healthy, nutrient-rich and balanced diet can further promote an attack.
