Your Cold Sore Emergency Kit
The telltale tingle of a cold sore always seems to strike at the worst moment, like right before a wedding, a big interview, or just in time for date night. These tiny viral troublemakers love to surface when we’re stressed or run down, making preventive care all the more important. Almost everyone will battle a cold sore at some point, but for people who experience ongoing bouts, antiviral medications may not be the only (or most effective) option.

What Are Nasal Polyps, and Can You Treat Them?
Breathing should be as natural as … well, breathing. But nasal polyps can turn the “in-through-the-nose” part of this process into a serious struggle. Small, benign growths are more common than many people realize, especially among those with allergies or asthma. As Dr. Michelle Durney explains, nasal polyps are one way the body responds to chronic inflammation. Before you resign yourself to a lifetime of mouth breathing, however, consider these gentle, natural solutions to help clear your airways.
Nature’s Secret for Strong, Healthy Eyes
Your eyes work nonstop, yet they have no built-in armor to defend against daily stressors, like blue light, UV rays, and oxidative damage. That’s where targeted nutrition comes in. Supplements like melatonin (which does far more than support sleep) and vitamins B, C, and E support overall eye health. Taurine, an essential amino acid found in energy drinks, is another powerful retina revitalizer. Give your windows to the world some natural TLC!
