Unlock the power of Lemon Balm!
Research shows that lemon balm Melissa officinalis is an effective remedy against the herpes simplex virus. Studies reveal its antiviral action, specifically targeting Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). In a 5-day study, melissa balm treatment showed a reduced healing period, reduced spread of the infection and rapid effect on typical symptoms. This herb from the mint family has shown promising results in expediting the healing process of cold sores and diminishing symptoms' severity when applied topically.
