Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.
If there is anything that I have been good at, it is getting fever blisters! I do not have to be sick or stressed. I would never even think of letting my lips get dry; that would be inviting another fever blister (cold sore).
Then, when I realized I was getting another cold sore, I read one of these wonderful testimonials the other day at www.Oil-Testimonials.com. It said that I should use the Melrose essential oil blend, 4 or 5 drops in a capsule and topically.
I did that orally twice a day and on my lip several times a day. This protocol stopped it on the spot! The fever blister never became bigger and believe me, it would have!
The Melrose oil blend took care of the damage done, there was no swelling, pain, or bleeding at the end of 2 weeks!
Thank you so much Young Living!

| 1. | Associated topics: herpes,cold-sores-/-fever-blisters — "The presence of beta-caryophyllene in many essential oils might contribute strongly to their antiviral ability. These results indicate that phenylpropanoids and sesquiterpenes present in essential oils contribute to their antiviral activity against HSV [herpes simplex virus]." | Link |
| 2. | Associated topics: herpes — "The patient was successfully treated with topical peppermint oil [for postherpetic neuralgia, a complication of shingles].... The authors believe this is the first evidence of peppermint oil (or menthol) having a strong analgesic effect on neuropathic pain." | Link |
| 3. | Associated topics: herpes — "Essential oils from anise, hyssop, thyme, ginger, camomile and sandalwood were screened for their inhibitory effect against herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) [genital herpes]. A clearly dose-dependent virucidal activity against HSV-2 could be demonstrated for all essential oils tested. Chamomile oil exhibited a high selectivity index and seems to be a promising candidate for topical therapeutic application as virucidal agents for treatment of herpes genitalis." | Link |
