Balmonds tea tree salve for cold sores

01/10/2012 by Ruth Holroyd 2 Comments

Tea tree oil is one my must have bathroom skin care products and it works a treat on cold sores. Any salve with tea tree in it will help to heal and fight the virus.

Balmonds say this product is “Cooling and natural, also suitable for use on cold sores, spots, bites, stings and fungal conditions.” so it’s not just the cold sores you can use this salve for.

Ingredients for Balmonds tea tree salve

  • Olea europaea (olive) fruit oil – nourishing, anti-bacterial
  • Cera Alba (Beeswax) – a natural emulsifier, provides a protective base and keeps the skin moisturised.
  • Arthamus tinctorius (safflower seed oil) – excellent for sensitive skin.
  • Cera alba (beeswax) – a natural emulsifier. Provides a protective base and keeps the skin moisturised.
  • Lelaleuca alternifolia (tea tree oil)
  • Limonene (from essential oils)

Suggestions for use:

If you suffer with cold sores, as soon as you feel that dreaded tingling sensation that indicates an imminent attack, apply Teatree Rescue Salve every half hour until the tingling sensation has completely gone. The salve has a high oil content so DO NOT USE IN HOT SUNSHINE, use indoors and overnight.

Suitable for babies, children and adults. Can be safely applied directly to any area of the body, including face, hands and scalp.
Always patch test (leave for 24 hours) before use.

Allergy advice:

We recommend customers patch test on an unaffected area before use (leave for 24 hours) as some people may be allergic to herbs, oils or beeswax.

Hello, I’m Ruth, author and blogger

Ruth

 

Hi I'm Ruth. I've grown up with eczema and multiple life-threatening allergies and collected more as I've got older.  It started with a peanut allergy and now I'm allergic to milk, wheat, soya and many more. In this blog I share tips, advice and things I've learnt living with allergies, asthma and eczema with a focus on topical steroid withdrawal. You can buy my books, which are brilliant by the way! The first is Anaphylaxis: The essential guide and the second, The Shape of Skin, healing poems for eczema and sensitive skin. The reviews speak for themselves. If you want to chat you can find me on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn (links below). Do get in touch. And please comment on blogs, it makes a humble blogger do a little happy dance!
