Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Herpes / October 2005One last issue, cracked lips
No pimples, no redness, no tingling, same for all the rest of herpes related symptoms, you name it...except the ocassional cracked lip. I'm on the go, to solve this difficult problem. I am not talking in here, about avoiding acidic foods or other categories of foods, using lip balms or mouth washes. I am up for the root cause of it, and of course, the cure for the problem. I recall white tea was one of the herbs that would contribute to solving the problem but it may be necessary for something more effective. Cracked lips are supposedly caused by bacteria, fungus or yeast, but I need more feedback here. Perl von Molson Well, the riboflavin (vitamin B2) supplements seems a reasonable way to try it, conform to several sites, but I've found this interesting tip: . " Vitamin E Capsules work great! I use the gel out of vitamin E capsules and it has worked wonders! It heals chapped lips overnight! " http://www.ehow.com/tips_3074.html So I do have vit. E capsules, and I've followed the tip. I'll see how it works. Perl von Molson I don't know, in this society, if you don't read what's on every single container/bottle you get ripped off. What I have is, yeah, vitamine E capsules, but it's synthetic, namely dl-alpha-tocopherol, instead of the natural form, that is d-alpha-tocopherol. I just read that "natural vitamin E has been shown to have significantly greater bioavailability than synthetic vitamin E".

I had a revelation, though, with licorice root. Licorice root, and I am talking about the true root, not synthetic, is a very sweet piece of wood that I've been sucking on. I've purchased it from one asian stores in a packaged bulk ammount. Will this be the miracle cure of the chapped lips? I'll know this for sure, shortly. (maybe a combination of both, vit E and licorice root) If this will work for me, I'll probably be solved my herpes problems, in a cure-like fashion.

[quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > > > Perl von Molson Licorice (see above), whether it works against herpes viruses topically, it doesn't seem to help much with a chapped lip (I have it in the middle of the lower lip; each type of the crack seem to require different treatments). I am using aloe vera plant on the lips now. I wish I could have found ethylic ether but I did not. The only one product available that contains ethylic ether, it's used for treating warts. ;-) (not to be used on lips) As I initially said, I am not looking for some addictive releave from chapped skin, such as lip balms, but rather something that would cure the problem. (because it is a problem when you have chapped lips quite often, caused by whatever reason: spicy food, wheather, or others) As a last resor I may use some homeopathic stuff, I don't know yet. Perl von Molson Well, I know that Aloe Vera is great and all that, but it's not a cure for my type of problem. Therefore, I may try the following homeopathic remedy: Choose the best matching remedy The following is not to be taken as medical advice, neither is it a claim for the suitability of any remedy in treating any condition.

Perl von Molson Hi Perl, You do know that's the old standby for chapped lips, right? It's in a lot of lip balms and was what people used back when I was a kid. ar >Well, I've tried white petroleum jelly, from a tube. > >This is it.
