Abreva really is expensive but you don’t need very much and it really works for me. If you put it on the when you feel the first tingle it stops it right in its tracks.
Never tried honey. Not sure where to get the “raw” stuff.
I can find it at my local upscale market. But if you are in the boonies, try Amazon.
Some swear by Monuka honey from Australia. But, a local beekeeper might be worth finding, and getting it right from the hive.
It keeps very well, and is good for lots of problems. Do your homework.
