I applied the tincture to the corners of my mouth where I was getting my cold sores, twice daily. After a day the sore dried up and after a couple of days it fell off!

Then i figured lets use this stuff as a mouthwash, so I put some on my finger and rubbed it all around and used a tooth brush to brush it onto the inside of my cheeks and on my tongue and all over my teeth. Dont' do that cause it tasted really really bad.

Anyway, to make a long story short. I've never had the cold sores come back. I'm cured! Thank you mj (and tea tree oil)!! :hippy:
