We explored the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy (PDT) using curcumin and blue light for treating recurrent cold sores, specifically herpes labialis. This innovative treatment approach was assessed based on its ability to accelerate the healing of lesions and reduce their recurrence.
Our findings suggest that PDT shows promise as a safe and cost-effective option for managing this troublesome condition. However, it is important to note that the study was primarily focused on the combined effect of curcumin with PDT, making it difficult to determine the isolated benefits of curcumin on its own for cold sore treatment.
Overall, our research highlights an exciting potential pathway for alleviating the symptoms associated with recurring herpes labialis, paving the way for future studies to further investigate its components and their individual effects.

Effective inflammation relief
I switched to this product after using curcumin for a long time, and it seems effective in alleviating inflammation. I caught a cold and had a sore throat and runny nose, but after two days of taking it like cold medicine, the symptoms vanished. Highly recommended for cold sores!
