Woodsage combined with Chickweek makes a good rinse for cold sore relief. Using equal amounts of the powders, one teaspoon each, boil for five minutes in one cup of water, let steep for another ten. Another effective mouth rinse is made from a combination of White Oak (acts as an astringent), Camomile and Lemon Balm (helps heal tissue), and Red Sage (fights infection). Rinse with this mixture several times a day.
