13 Home Remedies To Remove Skin Tags

Skin tags are caused due to the accumulation of blood vessels and collagen in the thicker parts of the skin. In dermatology skin tags are generally referred to as acrochordons.

Other factors that increase your risk of getting skin tags include:

• Skin chafing and irritation
• Pregnancy
• Acromegaly
• Human papillomavirus (HPV)
• Obesity
• Insulin resistance
• Type 2 diabetes

***Please note that an ugly looking mole that has a non-uniform shape, border, and or color needs to be seen by a professional immediately. If you have a lesion that fits into one of the categories pictured on the right, it’s a good idea to find an integrative oncologist and discuss what to do.

On the other hand a non-cancerous skin tag is a fleshy outgrowth which tends to be very small in size and lifted off the skin. They usually occur on eyelids, neck, arms, the lower breast, and in or around the armpits. Skin tags can occur both in men and women. Your doctor can remove them for a hefty fee or you can easily remove them yourself using one of these simple home remedies: 

1. Apple Cider Vinegar

This is one of the best home remedies for skin tags on the neck. Soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar and apply it over the skin tag. Use this remedy up to 3 times a day for about a month for complete removal. Learn more about this method by following this link.

2. Castor Oil

Mix a little castor oil with baking soda to form a paste and cover it with a bandage. Wash and pat dry at least once a day and repeat the process for a month. You will notice the skin tag disappearing slowly.

If you’re looking for speedy removal and you have the time apply the castor oil paste at least five times a day mixed with a few drops of Lomatium herbal extract. This method will remove the skin tag in only ten days!

3. Pineapple Juice for Skin Tags

Pineapple juice is a very effective method and can even remove your moles and warts too!

Get this:
• Pineapple (not from concentrate juice, or raw)
• Cotton ball

Do this:
• Take the pieces of pineapple and blend them to get juice.
• With the help of cotton ball, apply this juice to your skin tags.
• Do this twice a day for a few weeks.

4. Tea Tree Oil

This is the most easy and even painless home remedy for skin tags. As per the ancient Chinese medicine, your skin tags indicate that there is dampness within your body. Due to its natural antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties, tea tree oil dries out any wart and even skin tags from the inside out.

You need:
• Tea tree oil – 3 drops
• Cotton ball
• Water – enough to soak the cotton ball

Process:
• Clean your skin tag
• Soak the cotton ball in clean water.
• Take out the cotton ball and squeeze a little to just drain out the excessive water. Don’t squeeze too hard.
• Add a few drops of tea tree oil onto the wet cotton ball.
• Gently massage your skin tag with the cotton ball.
• Repeat 3 times a day for best results.

5. Onion Juice

Cut an onion and rub 1/4-1/2 tsp of salt on it. Leave it in a container overnight. Extract the juice in the morning. You don’t need to use it immediately. That night before going to bed, apply the juice to your tags and wrap with a bandage. Repeat the process for at least 10-12 days.

6. Banana Peel

A banana peel can be very effective for skin tag removal. Cut a small piece of banana peel and cover the skin tag with the inside of the peel. Secure some gauze over the peel and leave it on overnight. Repeat this remedy daily until the skin tags fall off.

7. Cauliflower Juice

While you can always blend cauliflower with water to get its juice and apply to your skin tags, this is a more effective recipe which uses other vegetables with cauliflower to rid of tags even faster!

You need:
One Potato
2 Garlic cloves
A few pieces of Cauliflower
A bandage

Directions:
Blend all three ingredients with a small amount of water to form a thick paste.
Apply a dab of this paste on your skin tags at night before you go to sleep.
Wrap the area with a bandage.
Remove it in the morning and wash the skin tag.
Repeat this process for a few days until the tag falls off.

8. Garlic Remedy

Due to its superb antibacterial, antifungal and antimicrobial properties, garlic is one of the best remedies for skin tags too. You will need fresh garlic cloves for this.

Directions:
Crush the 3 or 4 garlic cloves and make a course paste.
Before going to bed, apply this paste to your skin tags.
Now use the bandage to cover the tag so that the paste stays in place.
In the morning, remove the bandage and wash off your skin.
Do this for few days until your skin tag falls off.

9. Fig Stem Juice

Figs are not only laxatives but can treat various skin infections by regaining and maintaining pH balance. The stem is what we are most interested in using in this case.

Directions:
Take a few fig stems.
Blend them to create a paste.
Apply to your skin tags 3-4 times a day.
The effect can be seen in about 2-4 weeks.

This remedy works well for moles too.

10. Lemon Juice

Citric acid helps in decomposing the cells of your skin tags. Simply grab a lemon, cut it and squeeze its juice into a bowl. Dip a cotton ball in the juice and apply to the skin tags. Let it dry and repeat the process two or three times a day. The skin tags will fall off after two-four weeks of regular use.

Note: After applying lemon juice, do not step out in sun, this may give you a blotchy tan. If you must expose the area to sunlight first wash your skin to remove the juice from it.

11. Dandelion Stem Juice for Skin Tags

Dandelion is not only good for liver diseases but also for skin diseases including eczema, warts, moles and skin tags. Extract the juice form dandelion stems and apply it on your skin tags to see results in only a few days. All you need to do is squeeze the milky white juice from the stem onto your tags. Do this three-four times a day and allow it to air dry. You skin tags will gradually become dark black and then fall off.

Precaution: If you are allergic to ragweed or other plants like daisies, chrysanthemums, marigolds etc., you may be allergic to dandelion too.

12. Oregano Oil

Oregano essential oil has very strong antibacterial properties due to its phenolic terpenoids components like arvacrol, thymol and p-cymene. These components have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antimelanomic, anti-oxidative, antispasmodic, antiseptic properties. Oregano oil can cure skin tags in two-four weeks. It may take up to two months to remove skin tags using this method. If you decide to use oregano oil please share your success story in the comments section.

Directions:
Mix 2-3 drops oregano oil with 4-6 drops coconut oil. Apply the mixture at least three times a day. You may see your tags changing color on daily basis. They will get red, purple and gradually dark black before dropping off your skin.

Note: Do not apply oregano oil without diluting it in a carrier oil such as coconut, otherwise you will get red marks all along the skin that surrounds your tag. Also DO NOT apply this home remedy on skin tags over your eyelid.

13. Black Walnut Hull Homemade Tincture for Skin Tags

Black walnut hull has been recognized as a very effective herb for various skin diseases including warts, moles, acne, impetigo, athlete’s foot, ringworm, skin tags and even eczema. Many herbalists believe that Juglone, which is the primary natural ingredient present in black walnut hull makes your unwanted skin cells toxic to such a level that your body rejects the tissues. When targeting skin tags with this herb, they die and fall off. In fact, black walnut hull tincture is also administered internally to kill intestinal parasites and worms. For skin diseases, this tincture is applied externally. You can make your own black walnut hull tincture at home. There are two types of this tincture- water based and alcohol based. If your skin is very sensitive or you can not bear the stinging sensations, you can make water based tincture otherwise make the alcohol based tincture which is more effective and works fast.

Water-Based:

You need:
Black walnuts- 5-10 (use those which have green husks)
Water- enough to immerse the husks
A saucepan
Gloves
Vitamin C powder (optional)- ¼ tsp (you can get it by crushing vitamin C capsules. Alternatively you can cut lemon rinds into small pieces and let them dry in the sun. Put these peels into a coffee grinder and Voila! You have natural homemade vitamin C powder)

Directions:
Wear gloves because black walnuts stain.
Remove the husks from the black walnuts.
Now put the green husks in a saucepan and pour water on them, enough to cover them.
Heat this until it boils.
Remove from the heat and cover with a tightly fitting lid.
Let this stand for 24 hours
After a full day strain and store in a bottle.
If you want, you can add vitamin C powder to it which will work as a preservative. Vitamin C is also good for the skin.

Alcohol-Based:

You need:
Black walnuts- 5-10 (use those which have green husk)
Grain alcohol- enough to immerse the husks
Water- equal to the quantity of alcohol
A jar with lid (mason jar)
Gloves

Again, wear gloves to avoid stains.
Remove the husks from the nuts and put these green husks into the jar.
Add grain alcohol, enough to cover the husk.
Put the lid on the jar and let the solution stand for 2 days.
After 2 days, strain it and add an equal amount of water.
Store in a bottle.

Apply your homemade black walnut hull tincture on your skin tags 2-3 times a day.

Note: Pregnant woman should avoid this method.

Do not be afraid of skin tags as they are unobtrusive and painless. Never try to remove them by surgical means at home. This may cause infection and make everything worse. Try these simple home remedies instead!

12 Food Additives To Remove From Your Diet

MANY FOOD ADDITIVES have been studied and linked to various diseases. Becoming informed about the additives in everyday food items can make for an easier shopping experience and healthier food for everyone.

Here’s a list of some of the most medically questionable and harmful additives in everyday foods:

• Acesulfame-K
• Aspartame
• BHA & BHT
• Food Colorings (Blue, Red, Green, Yellow)
• Monosodium Glutamate
• Olestra
• Potassium Bromate
• Propyl Gallate
• Sodium Chloride (Salt)
• Sodium Nitrite
• Trans Fats
• White Sugar

Since some of these may not be familiar to you, sodium nitrite is a preservative added most commonly to bacon, ham, hot dogs, sandwich meats, and smoked fish. BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole) and BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) are other preservatives added to foods like cereal, gum, potato chips, and vegetable oils. Propyl gallate is found in meats, chicken soup base, and gum. All of these preservatives have been linked to cancer.

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) can cause migraines and other adverse effects. Trans fats are being eliminated from most foods, as the studies linking them to heart disease, strokes, and kidney problems are widely accepted.

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener found in products like NutraSweet and Equal as well as diet foods and soft drinks. And acesulfame-K is a newer sweetener used in soft drinks and some baked goods.

Many food colorings have been banned by the FDA, but some can still be found in foods that require a particular color. Olestra was common for a time in potato chips as an additive that prevented fat from being absorbed in your digestive system. Food colorings have been tied to cancer and Olestra also blocks vitamins from being processed.

Potassium bromate is sometimes added to white flour, breads, and rolls to increase the volume of the products, but it has cancer-causing properties that have prompted some states in America to actually require a label to that effect.

Finally, white sugar and sodium chloride (salt) can be dangerous and should be removed from the diet.

10 Reasons Why You Should Drink Warm Lemon Water in the Morning

Instead of getting a cup of coffee, why not replace it with a warm water lemon drink!? Below are the good factors to consider.

1. Boosts your immune system: Lemons are high in vitamin C, which is great for fighting colds. They’re high in potassium, which stimulates brain and nerve function. Potassium also helps control blood pressure.

2. Balances pH: Drink lemon water everyday and you’ll reduce your body’s overall acidity. Lemon is one of the most alkaline foods around. Yes, lemon has citric acid but it does not create acidity in the body once metabolized.

3. Helps with weight loss: Lemons are high in pectin fiber, which helps fight hunger cravings. It also has been shown that people who maintain a more alkaline diet lose weight faster.

4. Aids digestion: Lemon juice helps flush out unwanted materials. It encourages the liver to produce bile which is an acid that required for digestion. Efficient digestion reduces heartburn and constipation.

5. Is a diuretic: Lemons increase the rate of urination in the body, which helps purify it. Toxins are, therefore, released at a faster rate which helps keep your urinary tract healthy.

6. Clears skin: The vitamin C component helps decrease wrinkles and blemishes. Lemon water purges toxins from the blood which helps keep skin clear as well. It can actually be applied directly to scars to help reduce their appearance.

7. Freshens breath: Not only this, but it can help relieve tooth pain and gingivitis. The citric acid can erode tooth enamel, so you should monitor this.

8. Relieves respiratory problems: Warm lemon water helps get rid of chest infections and halt those pesky coughs. It’s thought to be helpful to people with asthma and allergies too.

9. Keeps you Zen: Vitamin C is one of the first things depleted when you subject your mind and body to stress. As mentioned previously, lemons are chock full of vitamin C.

10. Helps kick the coffee habit: After taking a glass of warm lemon water, most people suggests of less craving for coffee in the morning.

Why does it have to be warm water not cold? Cold water likely provides a shock or stress factor to the body. It takes energy for your body to process cold water.

The recipe is really simple - a cup of warm water (not hot) and the juice from half of a lemon.

10 Personal Uses Tea Tree Oil Can Help

Tea Tree Oil, also known as Melaleuca alternifolia, can be found in a wide spectrum of skin care and spa products that can comfort and beautify the appearance of skin.

1. Plantar Warts

Plantar warts and palmer warts are noncancerous skin growths, caused by a viral infection in the top layer of the skin. Put tea tree oil directly on the wart, rub it in, and let dry before putting on footwear/socks.  It’s best to do this at night before you go to bed. Rub it on, read for 15-20 minutes, and let it dry.

“But don’t wear socks to bed, as that adds moisture, which fungus thrives in,” says Krista Moyer, N.D., a naturopath doctor at Broadway Wellness in Vancouver, British Columbia.

For sensitive skin, you can add tea tree oil to a carrier oil like olive or coconut oil.

2. Dandruff

When tea tree oil is applied on the scalp, it penetrates the hair follicles, unclogs them and kills microorganisms that trigger dandruff, itchy scalp and irritation. It effectively moisturizes the hair and scalp. So it is one of the best solutions for dry and itchy scalp. It helps to get rid of the dead skin cells and dirt on the scalp thereby creating a favorable environment for healthy hair growth and scalp.

Tea Tree Oil for Scalp Treatment:

1. Take a small application bottle and fill it with 3/4 full of any carrier oil like jojoba oil, olive oil, coconut oil, almond oil, etc.
2. Add 10-15 drops of tea tree oil in it and mix it well.
3. Apply this to your scalp and hair.
4. Massage it gently for few minutes to make oil saturated all over the scalp.
5. You will feel some tingling effect on your scalp but don’t worry about it! It’s a good thing!
6. Wash your hair with shampoo and apply conditioner.
7. This process helps to keep all your scalp problems at bay.

3. Skin Spots

Tea tree oil can control the sebum in the skin as well as speed up healing process.Tea tree oil can be applied directly to pimples for an effective and natural skin spot and pimple treatment. It contains natural properties which make it an excellent alternative to harsh synthetic chemicals. Just a small amount of oil will penetrate the skin to unblock the sebaceous glands, clean out pores and dry out whiteheads, blackheads, pimples and other blemishes.

To apply, pour a few drops of tea tree oil onto a cotton bud, cotton pad or tissue. Gently dab the tea tree oil onto any pimples or spots. Leave for a few hours, or overnight. The redness and swelling should decrease.

4. Sinus irritations

Tea tree oil helps with irritations of the nasal and respiratory system. Place a few drops of tea tree oil in small saucepan of boiling water. Remove from heat and tent with a towel over your head. Breathe in for 10-15 minutes. This inhalation will loosen phlegm when you’re congested.

5. Tick Removal

Just add to skin and the little stinker will usually unlatch.

6. Toenail Fungus and Athlete’s Foot

Dab a few drops directly on the site or soak a cotton ball in tea tree oil and rub it on the affected area. Try making a mixture of tea tree oil and olive oil and rubbing in on your nail. You can reapply this mixture or pure tea tree oil as often as you like.Twice per day is usually sufficient for helping mild cases.

7. Skin Tags

Clean your skin tag and the surrounding area with warm water and mild soap. Pat dry with a clean towel. Add one drop of undiluted tea tree oil to the gauze pad portion of an adhesive bandage. Secure the bandage over your skin tag so the tea tree oil soaked gauze pad is in direct contact with the skin tag.

8. Ringworm

Cleanse and thoroughly dry the skin area that is affected by ringworm. Immediately place any linens used on the affected skin in the dirty laundry to avoid risk of further contamination. Put several drops of tea tree oil on the end of a sterile cotton swab, and apply it directly to the ringworm. Completely cover all affected areas with the oil. Repeat this process three times per day.

9. Psoriasis

Add a few drops of tea tree oil to your body wash, lather, wait then rinse. Or apply tea tree oil directly to your problem areas then when the tea tree oil has been absorbed apply a tea tree oil enriched moisturizing cream. 5% tea tree oil mix.

10. Yeast Growth

Studies have found that tea tree oil disrupts the membranes of yeast cells, and lavender kills Candida in a test tube. Mix them together and yeast doesn’t have a chance.

• 5 drops tea tree essential oil
• 5 drops lavender essential oil
• Distilled water

Mix the tea tree and lavender oils with a few drops of distilled water. Using a cotton swab, dab the blend on the affected parts of the body.

10 Herbs That Kill Viruses And Clear Lungs

“…The God of nature directs the human agent to USE NATURAL REMEDIES now.  {2SM 286.4}  

1. Oregano

This potent herb has many great benefits, but it’s best known for being very useful in killing viruses and bacteria. It has been proven to drastically reduce viral activity in just 15 minutes and is considered useful against herpes simplex type 1, rotavirus, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).
 
How to use it: To use it against a virus, you can drink the tea daily, add chopped oregano to your food, or take it dried and in capsules. To clean surfaces, mix a few drops of essential oil with water and shake thoroughly before spraying the surface and wiping it down.
 
Viruses aren’t the only reason to take oregano though. It also contains natural decongestants and antihistamines. When you take it daily, it can actually boost lung function, whether or not you’re sick.
 
2. Peppermint
You probably already know that peppermint is excellent for opening up your lungs and nasal passages. It contains menthol, which reduces swelling in the nose and other membranes to ease breathing, but it also loosens up any mucus forming in the lungs.
 
How to use it: A hot cup of peppermint tea is a great way to remedy a nasty cold that has settled in your lungs.
 
Peppermint leaf extract is also quite potent when used against viruses and will greatly reduce the influence of the virus. Not only does it attack the virus, peppermint also reducing inflammatory compounds found in the body, so you’ll feel better, too. It treats the symptoms while preventing the virus from wreaking havoc in your body.
 
3. Lemon Balm
Commonly used as a fragrant addition to food, lemon balm has proven useful against bird flu, herpes, HIV-1, and enterovirus 71. It works to prevent replication of the virus, which is where the trouble starts, and can keep it from spreading in your body.
 
How to use it: The essential oil is best if you want to really keep it potent, but for everyday use, try making a tea.
 
This herb is actually useful for aromatherapy and is absorbed easily through the lungs. It contains triterpenes that will help calm your body and ease respiratory issues somewhat. To use the power of aromatherapy, crush the fresh leaves, cup in your hands, and inhale deeply several times.
 
4. Eucalyptus
This powerful medicinal plant is often found in over-the-counter cold remedies for the very fact that it is useful in opening up your lungs. It does this by stimulating the cilia in your lungs (the tiny little hair-like protuberances) to clear out mucus and other gunk that may be caught up in your lungs. In addition, it boosts your circulation, making it easier for the body to flush the virus out.
 
How to use it: you can take it orally in a tea or syrup, or you can apply it to the skin (dilute first). Rubbing eucalyptus oil on the soles of your feet may help your body recover from a virus faster than usual.
 
Since eucalyptus kills off bacteria, fungi, and viruses, it can frequently be found in nasal rinses, which allow you to flush out mucus, plus kill off the virus. It fights against diseases and can be helpful to keep in your natural first aid kit.
 
5. Osha Root
While osha root tends to be studied more for its possibilities in cancer treatment, it has also been examined as a potential antiviral. It reduces inflammation and helps prevent oxidative stress, at least in the trial run. There still isn’t enough evidence to make big claims, but many people use the root to treat HIV and AIDS.

When it comes to congested lungs, powdered osha root is considered to be very useful in easing congestion. It helps you take deeper breaths by improving circulation and helping the body clear the lungs.
 
How to use it: You can take osha root in powder form or as a herbal extract or tincture. Start small, as there’s no regulated dosage amount as of yet. Take with caution, as the effects have not been fully studied.
 
6. Ginger
Most people enjoy ginger in their food, or in a nice cup of hot ginger lemon tea. However, if you feel like you’re coming down with something, you’ll want to take a little more than you would just for flavor. Ginger can break up the mucus in your lungs and boosts circulation, to ease breathing when you are sick.
 
Gingerols and zingerone, found in this zingy herb, have been shown to stop viruses from replicating. They can also stop the viruses from spreading throughout your body by blocking the virus from the cells that they attempt to take over.
 
7. Rosemary
If you have an herb garden, you likely already have rosemary in it. Most people use it for their cooking regularly, but you can also pop it into your medicinal herb cupboard. Rosemary naturally attacks viruses and fights off everything from hepatitis to influenza, thanks to its oleanolic acid.
 
How to use it: Rosemary tea is greatly beneficial if you’re starting to get a cold or dealing with another virus. It is also ideal for clearing out your lungs if you live in an area that is highly polluted. Take a cup of tea daily to ease mucus build-up and to protect your lungs.
 
8. Dandelion
As a natural anti-inflammatory, dandelion can be helpful in treating lung disease. This common flower is often considered a weed, but it has so much more potential.
 
How to use it: If your lungs are inflamed due to a disease, then dandelion tea made from dried roots or tincture taken regularly can be helpful.
 
You’ll also find that dandelions have been studied for their antiviral properties, particularly in regards to dengue fever, HIV, and hepatitis B. For a so-called weed, this little flower is rather useful.
 
9. Licorice
Did you know that licorice root is a natural expectorant? It helps loosen the mucus in your body and flush it out by making you cough. It’s best to get that mucus out of your lungs, after all. The root also helps with sore throats and reduces inflammation throughout the entire system.
 
The Chinese have used licorice for many years to treat an assortment of different diseases. However, this root contains substances like liquiritigen, glabridin, and glycyrrhizin, all of which work to prevent viruses from getting a hold in your body.
 
How to use it: Licorice root can be made into a tea or a syrup that you can take regularly when you feel a cold coming on.
 
10. Elderberry
You’re likely familiar with elderberries as a way to treat illness in general and as an immunity booster. However, this tiny fruit, commonly made into syrup, is helpful in treating viruses and keeping the lungs clear. In fact, studies have shown that elderberries prevent viruses from getting into cells, reducing the contagion of the virus, and helping shut it all down.
 
How to use it: If you have an upper respiratory infection, elderberry syrup is a good treatment for this. It can reduce the amount of time that you’re sick and also helps reduce the severity of the symptoms.
There are plenty of herbs for any type of issue you’re facing, but these 10 are particularly good for both lungs and preventing viruses. Many have other benefits, as well.

With the way things are in the world today, it’s no wonder we’re all looking for ways to stay healthy. Keeping your immune system in great shape is always good, but it’s a good idea to know what to do if you are sick already. Fortunately, there are plenty of natural ways to keep viruses at bay and to ensure your lungs stay clear, even if you do get sick.
 
Something to note about these treatments is that they do well in concentrated form. That means you’ll probably want to try more than just a cup of tea if you feel something icky coming on. Essential oils, extracts, or concentrated tinctures are all excellent choices when you are being threatened by a virus.
