YES
Deep Diaphram Breathing
For me cold sores are brought about by stress. Deep diaphram breathing is the only real thing that has stopped me from getting them at all. When I have a bit of a tingle or the first signs of redness I go and lay down and just work on long, slow, deep breathing. The redness then goes away and no cold sore! I was getting them every two weeks for a while there and the breathing is the only thing that broke the pattern. I try to do deep breathing all the time now (whenever I remember)
