Cold Sore or Herpies?

[MrTShirt]

Attention Dr. Rachel, Dr. Vanity, Dr. Roxy G, et al.
Here is your chance to have a customer for life.
If a customer has a cold sore (HSV-1), suggest Melissa officinalis oil.
Guess what, it is also effective for HSV-2.  That is the sexually transmitted herpes virus.
By the way, the oil is also known as lemon balm oil, an essential oil available at your local health store.

HSV1 aka oral herpes can also be transmitted sexually. Generally oral to genital. Once on the genitals it can be transmitted genital to genital.
