Natural Ways Of Curing Lipomas

 A lipoma is a benign (non-cancerous) overgrowth of fatty tissue. Lipomas are painless, harmless, and very slow-growing. They are located between the skin and the muscle, move freely under the skin, and feel spongy or doughy. Lipomas are most commonly located on the neck, shoulders, abdomen, arms, thighs and back. They can get in the way of motion and be unsightly. Here are some natural treatments you can try to reduce your lipomas and improve your range of motion and appearance.


Treating Lipomas with Natural Oils and Herbs

1
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.
2
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.


3
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.
4
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.

Treating Lipomas with Diet Improvements

1
Switch to organic foods as much as possible. Switching to organic foods reduces the number of preservatives and additives you eat. Your liver will then be able to focus on removing the toxins stored in the lipoma’s fatty tissue.
  • Limiting the amount of processed and pre-packaged food you eat will also limit the amount of additives and  preservatives you eat.
2
Increase the amount of vegetables and fruits in your diet. Fruits and vegetables have antioxidants which help lower fats in the blood.[9]
  • Choose brightly colored fruits and vegetables for the highest level of antioxidants. Some great examples of fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants are blueberries, raspberries, apples, plums, citrus fruits, leafy green vegetables, squash and bell peppers.
3
Eat more fish. Fish has good amounts of healthy omega-3 fats and good quality protein. Omega-3 fats help to decrease inflammation and may help limit the growth of lipomas.[11]
  • Salmon and tuna are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids as well as high in protein.[12][13]
  • Good sources of omega-3 fatty acids include mackerel, herring, trout, which are also high in vitamin B-12.
4
Limit eating red meats. If you do eat red meat, make sure it is grass-fed with no added antibiotics or hormones. Grass-fed meat has a lot of healthy omega-3 and omega-6 fats.[15]
  • Chicken, tofu, and beans are all healthy alternatives to red meat that are also high in protein.

Considering Other Treatments

1
Be aware that natural treatments may take some time to be effective. It may take 1-3 months to see any reduction in size.

2
See your doctor if you are experiencing pain or discomfort. Lipomas are generally harmless, but there is a very small chance that you may have liposarcoma. Liposarcomas are lumps that are similar to lipomas, but they grow rapidly, are painful, and do not move under the skin.[16]
  • Your doctor will diagnose you with a biopsy, MRI or CT scan if he thinks you have liposarcoma.
3
Choose a medical treatment. Most lipomas are surgically removed or extracted. Scarring and bruising are possible side effects. Recurrences are not common.[18]
  • Liposuction is another treatment method. A needle and large syringe is used to remove the fatty tissue.[19]
  • Lipomas can be shrunken with steroid injections. This does not eliminate the lipoma, but it does reduce the lipoma before surgery.

The Pros and Cons Of COVID-19 Contact Tracing Apps

                Written by                Jack -  Guest author Contact tracing apps seem to be the new fad. Their popularity is also one that comes on the back of a series of unfortunate events. They seem to hold another approach to fighting the menace of a disease that has claimed no less than 400,000 lives worldwide. The widespread race to get these apps working can also be attributed to the coming together of two big names in tech, Apple and Google, to make the frameworks for such apps happen.
