Treatment Lipomas with Natural Oils and Herbs

Create an ointment using natural oils and herbs.

  Natural oils such as neem and flaxseed make excellent base for ointments. Experiment with different combinations of herbs and oils.

- Neem oil is an astringent that helps protect your skin. It is commonly used in Ayurvedic (ancient Indian) medicine to treat lipomas.

- Flaxseed oil has high levels of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids help to reduce inflammation. Be sure to buy flaxseed oil certified to be free of heavy metals, such as lead and mercury.

- While not a natural oil, cooled green tea is a great alternative for your base. It is high in antioxidants that help regulate blood sugar and blood fats.

Mix chickweed with a natural oil or tea base.

  Blend 1 teaspoon of chickweed to 2-3 tablespoons of neem oil or flaxseed oil. Apply the salve to the lipoma.

- Chickweed is used to reduce fats.

- You can also use 1-2 tablespoons of cooled green tea instead of neem or flaxseed oil to make a paste.

Try creating an ointment with turmeric.

  Put 1 teaspoon of turmeric together with 2-3 tablespoons of neem oil or flaxseed oil. Smooth the ointment onto the lipoma. Your skin will turn a bit orange or yellow because of the turmeric. Cover the lipoma with a bandage to protect your clothes.

- Turmeric, like neem oil, is commonly used in Ayurvedic medicine.

- For a paste, add 1-2 tablespoons of cooled green tea instead of neem or flaxseed oil to the turmeric.

Add dried sage to neem oil or flaxseed oil.

  Mix ½ to 1 teaspoon of dried sage with 2-3 tablespoons of neem oil or flaxseed oil. Coat the lipoma with the balm.

- Substitute 1-2 tablespoons of cooled green tea for neem or flaxseed oil to make a paste.

- Sage is used in traditional Chinese medicine to dissolve fatty tissue.
