WiseWays Herbals: Salves for Natural Skin Care, Lemon Balm Salve 2 oz

I don't usually write reviews unless I really love something or hate it. This product has blown me away. I came to amazon to get some clear cold sore covers so I can mask the ugly cold sore I felt myself starting to get. I saw this instead and all the raving reviews and order this instead. I got this so quick (love amazon) that I was able to PREVENT the cold sore from even coming out. a few days later I felt it in a different spot (persistence, I tell ya) and I immediately ran to this, and again, I never got a cold sore. Amazing.The second test- My boyfriend had a cold sore. And he got to a bit late (before I could remedy him like the loving and amazing SO that I am), it was the second day where it was starting to blister up, I put this on his lips before he left for work and gave him a few qtip filled of this to apply during the day. The next morning it was still a little bad, starting to break open.. we continued to put on the lemon balm salve and I swear, but afternoon it was healing. No more open wounds, no more blisters. Just a little red and irritated.. like it was raw skin healing.I am so so so impressed. This is a must have to any medicine cabinet of anyone who suffers from the occasional cold sore (apparently 80% or so of us). Works better than anything I have ever seen.The ONLY downside.. It naturally contains a lot of citronella, which in my opinion isn't the most pleasant to have on your lips, right under your nose. But its worth it regardless. the upside to that, I am sure it would make a great insect repellent!

The human body is a disgusting place that likes to collect germs and viruses. Amongst these horrific afflictions are cold sores. Maybe you inherited yours as I did, maybe you were less than discriminating with your romantic partners. How you acquired your simplex virus hardly matters, we're all in the same boat now.Maybe you're familiar with the futility (and the expense) of over the counter creams and snake oil. Maybe you already know a lot of these 'cures' only barely work, but you can't stop yourself from buying them because what else is there, really? What choice do you have?Brothers and sisters, give lemon balm a try. Seriously.I bought lemon balm about a year ago in the middle of an outbreak. For the record, my lip-demons hatch maybe once every few years, always during a time of extreme stress. Anyway, the lemon balm seemed to soothe the little monster, and it appeared to heal faster. But I couldn't say for sure. Since that time I've used lemon balm on various bites and allergic skin reactions. It really helps.A new sore broke out two days ago. I put lemon balm on it as soon as I felt that tell-tale tingle. I kept it saturated. It never grew beyond its starting size. Day two it started to peel, the stage right before the sore typically scabs over. Kept it swimming in lemon balm and it never got any bigger. By the evening of day two I could feel it was dying.Day three -- no growth, no scab -- just healing skin.This stuff works in my opinion, and it's a helluva lot cheaper than what you buy at a drug store -- plus you get plenty of it.

My young daughter just got out of the hospital from a severe case of EBV. Her tonsils were so swollen her throat closed up. On the fourth day there, (also right after prayer and fasting)- i ended up putting cayenne ointment on her feet to get the lymphs moving, and this lemon balm cream on her neck. She soon quit crying from pain and to our surprise no more pain meds were needed. I reapplied a couple more times w/ some repeat applications, and i kid you not- by the next morning her tonsils were back to normal. The Docs and I were all shocked.I used this cream on my lyme child the very same week, who broke out in a big body rash right after eating a smidge of dairy in a potato soup. It was gone by morning, but 30 min later there was a definite difference where i applied the cream!I had to come back on here and say i am sold on this now! Thank you so much for such a great product. I have been sharing our story and this product w/ so many people now!

Nice product. It is very moisturizing and has lots of natural ingredients inside.

At first it seemed like it would be too greasy but it really isn't! The salve is light (the opposite of petroleum jelly), so it absorbs into the skin extremely well; the greasiness doesn't last long.I was expecting to smell a stronger lemon balm scent, though I'm glad it doesn't leave any strong scents behind. I cannot stress how nicely it melts and then dissolves into my skin. It leaves no thick greasy feeling behind like similar salves and balms.Don't let the size of the jar fool you, a tiny amount goes a long way. It was securely sealed when I received it.

I've always have have bought abreva cold sore medicine and paid the hefty price of 19.99 for a tiny tube of it. I was doing some research on home remedies for cold sores and I stumbled upon lemon balm. After reading a bunch of material on this I went to the store to purchase some and quickly realized this stuff is just as expensive as abreva but I was tired of having breakouts so I bought it anyways. I don't have breakouts to often but when I do it takes about 2 weeks to heal a major pain. After using this stuff for about a week I quickly realized this stuff is for real. My cold sore was gone and healed!!!! It evens stops cold cores when you start to feel one coming on. I started to feel tingling on my lip and saw a cold sore starting to form I put some lemon balm on it and stopped it in its tracks before it even had a chance to breakout. I would recommend this to any one that suffers from cold sores. I have since bought lemon balm from Amazon since it is much cheaper then the store and the 2oz will last you for awhile. I have had the same container for the last six months and I have only used maybe half. I even use it just for maintenance and I have not had a break out in 6 months and counting. I will continue to buy this well worth it!!!!!!!

It doesn't work as effective as it did when I first started buying this. I'm not sure why, maybe they switched up the formula
