Lipoma

If you know you have a lipoma then you have probably already been told that they are not dangerous but it is also a fact that they don’t come out of thin air and there is a good reason for them to have developed.

All roads seem to point to the liver as far as lipomas are concerned. It is largely up to our livers as to how much and what kind of fat floats around our bodies and, not to put too fine a point on it, a lipoma is really just a mass of stuck and hardened fat...

1. Get your liver into better health. I haven’t yet met the person with even just one lipoma (most people who have them get a few) who hasn’t also had other signs of a congested or underactive liver. In this regard a lipoma may be the best thing that could have ever happened to you because having a healthy liver is essential to long life and good health.

Getting livers into better health is something that herbalists do best. Firstly read, what is detoxification, and a cleansing diet then use herbs such as St Mary’s thistle, Dandelion root and Celandine. Any herbalist anywhere will help you get the best of these herbs and I recommend you find a good herbalist to help you with this.

2. Even with the healthiest liver in the world that lipoma is still not going to go anywhere unless you do something to help it find the exit. Other practitioners will have their favourites but the best thing I think we have to work for this is Garlic.

It must be first of all made clear that the art of using Garlic in the case of lipoma treatment is something to be approached with care and trepidation.  If you do too much of this and you do it too often then you will damage your skin.

People have different levels of sensitivity to Garlic so I cannot just recommend one dose regime and expect that it will work for everyone and not do any harm. You have to find the level that you can safely tolerate which means you should start off slowly and build up the exposure until you see any sign of tissue damage (redness or pain) which means you are reaching your upper limit.

The simple procedure is to rub a freshly cut clove of Garlic against the lipoma and leave the juice or residue of the Garlic on for a while to soak in.. Before going to bed is the best time to start (feed your bed-partner plenty of Garlic for dinner and they won’t notice it, much). You might rub the clove against the lipoma 5 or 6 times to start, just to get it acquainted with the Garlic. You can definitely rub the Garlic in for longer and do it more vigorously, with time, if it’s safe for you to go stronger. 

Start carefully, Garlic is caustic, which is what you want because you are looking for it to break down the plugged up fat, but it can burn your skin if you use too much of it too often.

This has worked for people but it can take a few weeks for the lipoma to start obviously breaking down. At some point it is probable that your skin will start to get sore and sensitive, just miss some treatments until it looks and feels better then start again as soon as you are ready.
