St John's Wort!!!!!!!!!!!!
Although this is more of a preventative thing. I used to regulary get cold sores, and then I started taking SJW. I got one tiny cold sore when on it, and since then I have been completely cold sore free for about a year now (touch wood). I then read that SJW is supposedly anti-viral and even indicated on some internet sources for cold sores although there isn't much research to back it up. I think this is probably more to do with the fact that SJW isn't patentable and also because its more of a preventative measure, rather than some cream you apply.
I used to use that Zovirax, which worked the best.
If you mean mouth ulcers, then I read somewhere that vitamin A is good. I mean mouth ulcers can be indicative of a vit A defincency.
Kind regards
Meri
