During the cold weather months many people experience chapped lips and cold sores. Lysine has been proven to be a helpful amino acid in the care of cold sores (herpes simplex) and canker sores. Some natural sources of Lysine are cheese, eggs, lima beans, potatoes, milk, meat and brewer’s yeast. Some people benefit from poking a hole in a Vitamin E capsule and spreading it on the lips to help moisturize and protect them. Lip treatments with camphor as a primary ingredient should be avoided, as camphor is a drying agent.
