It seems that everyone is watching their salt intake. If you are alive and breathing you have heard that the American diet has way too much salt in it, and I agree, but I also wanted to remind everyone of an easy way to use salt to help aid getting rid of cold sores in your mouth. One of our sons this week in fact had a couple of cold sores in his mouth so I told him to get some warm water and about a tablespoon of just plain old table salt and to rinse his mouth out as many times as it took to empty out the cup into our bathroom sink. He literally stood there and swished and spit until it was all gone. By the next day his sores were so much better he did not even complain about them anymore. My grandmother used to have us do this and it works. Cheap and easy. So don't suffer with cold sores, grab a cup, warm water, and a Tablespoon of salt and have at it!
Happy swishing!
