“When my daughter had a cold sore, I went to the drug store to see what I could buy to help her with the pain. Everything available said not to use in children younger than 12 years old. The blister lasted 7 days. When I found out that you could put essential oil on a cold sore I tried it the next time, and it was amazing. We used it 3 times a day, and the sore was gone within 3 days.” -Kelly
