Apple Cider Vinegar Working on Lipoma

Vickie (Hudson Valley NY) on 06/23/2025

I have a lipoma on my upper arm, which is very noticeable (almost the size of a quarter). I started using ACV, but instead of ingesting it, I applied it directly to the lipoma. I took a cotton ball, which I cut in half and flattened it a bit so it wouldn't be too bulky, and applied ACV directly on it so it was pretty soaked, then placed that on top of the lipoma and secured it with surgical tape, which I found easy to remove later, and also because the tape is wider and on a roll, so you can grab the size you need. In just about 3 days I noticed that the lipoma was shrinking! I was astounded! I did this routine before going to bed, and sometimes I pulled back the tape in the morning to add more ACV to the cotton to keep it moist. It's been about 2 weeks now, and the lipoma is so much smaller. I am so very happy! But one thing - the ACV did burn my skin, I believe, because it caused a small open wound from being on the skin so long. After about a day or two is when it caused a sore and made my skin a little red, but I was so happy with the results, I just accepted it. I did let my skin breathe for about a day or two in between to give it some fresh air, and then I applied it again. So now I keep applying it about every other day, or so, to see if it will eventually go away completely. I can't wait to go back to my doctor so he can measure it again and see that it's gotten smaller! This may not be for everyone, but it sure is working for me!

Apple Cider Vinegar for Lipomas

ACV does not shrink lipomas.

I was on an ACV (with mother) long before I had gotten a lipoma.

Lugol's Iodine for Lipomas

Jennifer (England) on 10/12/2023

I have used Lugol's Iodine applied on the skin once or twice a day for 2 or 3 weeks. The 3x1 inch fatty tumour/lipoma shrank to almost nothing. It was amazing. If you haven't yet tried this, it may work for you. My Lugol's solution was 15%, most are a lot lower than this, so maybe take a little longer for results. The skin can get quite dry, so maybe moisturise too, and shellfish allergy may be a problem for some.

Re: Carbs and Lipomas

I have a lipoma behind my left ear. It grew to about 5 x 5.5cm over many years. It would occasionally itch. About 4 weeks ago I started a sugar and gluten detox and noticed that my lipoma is softer and has shrunk. It is now 4x4.5cm, in only 4 weeks of cutting out gluten and sugar and hasn't itched since. I suspect it is due to excluding sugar from my diet.

Lugol's Iodine for a Lipoma

I went to the dermatologist about a firm, solid lump on my arm. He said it was a lipoma and I could have surgery to remove it. Before I did something invasive- I tried out some natural remedies - none worked - till I tried painting Lugol's iodine on the lipoma. It started working immediately. The lump did not come back!

Why the mention of pets? I only ask because I am here trying to find a solution to 2 large lipomas on my dog. One on the stomach and one on the side of the neck..I doubt I could get her to drink anything as part of a cure. Any suggestions on what may help her?

Salt and Spit Remedy for Benign Fatty Tumor (Lipoma)

Amy (Riverside, California) on 09/20/2020

Spit and salt made my dad's fatty tumor disappear! (Use the suffers saliva only)

My dad had a fatty tumor on his back and he had gone to an elderly lady's house that was known for her home remedy treatments. My mother had stomach problems and a friend of my mother's knew this lady that would massage the stomach area in case food was stuck in the intestines. This lady had saved the friend's nephew's life from food stuck in his intestines as he was dying from the problem and doctors could not help him! The man was so sick he could not eat! The lady was able to dislodge the food with massage therapy and the young man got well and could eat again!

Anyway, while at the lady's house my dad told the lady about a fatty tumor on his back and she looked at the fatty tumor and advised him to every day place spit with salt on the fatty tumor and it would get well. My dad did this every day, his own spit with salt on the fatty tumor every day, and to our surprise the fatty tumor disappeared! She didn't even charge him for this knowledge! But it worked for him! Mind you it was not a cancerous tumor but a fatty tumor.

You use only the saliva from the person that has the fatty tumor, saliva and salt and place this on the fatty tumor every day.

DMSO Shrinking Lipoma

Wendy (Cedar Falls, Ia) on 08/25/2020

Lipomas:

I recently decided to give DMSO another try (I've tried it before, but was not able to tolerate the discomfort on the skin). I purchased a roll-on product 70% DMSO 30% Aloe Vera.

As everyone who has lipomas knows, they don't go away on their own. My grandmother had them and my mother has them. Perhaps there's a genetic component, but I don't know. However, I will say this, my grandmother had cancer in the bile duct and my mother had to have her gallbladder removed. I decided (no really) I wasn't going to go the same route and didn't have time to deal with illnesses or surgeries. It was a decision I made for this body.

Anyway, back to the DMSO, I have a large lipoma on my left arm above the elbow. It's a large, sprawling one and I believe it has entangled itself either in the muscle or nerve because there is pain when I rub my fingers over it. Since that lipoma is so large, I decided to address that one first. I have applied it twice/day for about 1 week now. It has reduced in size by about 1/2. Do I have skin irritation? Yes, but I decided to 'suck it up' and 'deal with it'.

I have noticed the skin irritation does get better though with time. I have read (please research DMSO) that it can stain clothing, so that's another reason I am working on my arm first. I have small lipomas on my upper thighs, but since I am wearing pants, I have decided to tackle those after I see complete remission of the lipoma on my arm.

I have also many lipomes onto my arms and onto the legs and I found under the link

http://natur-selbsthilfe.de/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=64#p137

the following commend:

A physician had told me about his healing of dogs by Borax: "I also have a fifteen year old dog (fox terrier) who had a large right lip lipoma, he reacted extremely well on borax, so this tumor disappeared within a week, I applied a solution weighted internally and externally not necessary, senile dementia blown away: - a new old dog! Procedure: At 10 kg of weight, add 0.5 g of borax to 1 liter of non-fluoridated water. Add 0.5 ml of this solution ("concentrate") with a 2 ml syringe. The rest of the syringe is drawn up with distilled water. You can also take sterile saline, the dogs are not so sensitive ... With 1 ml of this solution (ie half) in this syringe I have placed around the tumor wheals, d. H. small injections around and into the tumor (looks like you've touched stinging nettles - just type in Google "wheals" and look at pictures). Syringe and insulin needle you can get from the pharmacist. The rest you inject the dog - of course, without a needle - in the throat and lets him swallow. I did that for 5 days. You can literally watch the tumor (in my case, a lipoma) melt away - at least that's how it was with my dog. "

Now I will try to put these stinging nettles with borax into and in he near of my lipomes. I will answer if it will be worked!

Turmeric and Aloe for Lipoma

Ada (Hong Kong) on 11/14/2018

Turmeric + Aloe Vera worked like magic on my lipoma: 3 days!
I found this tip from some Indian naturopath: Mix a bit of turmeric with a bit of aloe vera gel and wrap thick layer well over lipoma with bandage and leave on lipoma for approximately 6-8 hours a day/ night (mine was on back of ear, around 1 cm big, had it for over a year- it was quite difficult to affix bandage with mixture there, but not impossible).
Day 2: I could feel it is getting "inflamed" and started being painful and warm- I was as worried to develop abscess on my head, as I was aware that inflammation is probably the only way to drain that gross growth which look horrible.
Day 3 was quite painful, very warm even part of my face, so I realised I can try to squeeze it- and it burst and I drained it VERY WELL and bye bye gross growth!
Note: After I remove T+AV mix, rinse and splash bit more aloe and leave it.
Wound after care (oh yes was super worried to not cause some major infection): Saline water rinse, tea tree oil and (once it closed a bit) more aloe on wound.
This worked like magic- today is day 4: Mini wound is healing great. I am free of lipoma.
Indian naturopath said it takes 7 days, but it was 3 for me to get it off...
Love natural healing.

Apple Cider Vinegar Starting to Shrink Lipomas

Kathy (Delray Beach) on 06/14/2018
5 out of 5 stars

My body is loaded with lipomas which started when I was a teenager, multiplied through two pregnancies and went off the chart when I aged into my 50s. I have been drinking the equivalent of about 8 ounces of apple cider vinegar daily, 2 to 3 tablespoons at a time throughout the day and during the evening. There has been a significant difference now having done this for approximately four weeks and I am overjoyed at the fact that many of them have begun to not only soften but shrink and disappear.

You have nothing to lose, stick with it and be consistent, everybody’s body reacts differently and for some reason, it has worked for me. Good luck!

Apple Cider Vinegar and Sodium Bicarbonate for Lipoma

Caz (Kzn, South Africa) on 12/04/2017

ACV & Bicarb reduced my neck lump - almost gone now

Hello and Bless you for this website and everyone for their reviews and comments. For the last ten years I have had a lump growing on the side of my neck. I refuse to see Doctors as I have had nothing but negative experiences from them.

I ignored the lump and over the years it grew from a little bean sized lump until it spread right up the side of my neck to the base of my skull and reached my neck spine area. It started has a hard little bean size and became a huge soft moveable spongy lump. It started becoming visible a few years ago ago. Recently it became uncomfortable.

I started using ACV for another reason and noticed that overnight my lump reduced to half its size. I visited Earth Clilnic and read all the negative and positive comments, and decided to give ACV a try. This is the beginning of the third week of using ACV and the lump has reduced to a few small hard bead size, and is no longer visible or uncomfortable. Every single day there is a marked reduction of the lump.

My Recipe and Dosage:

I use ACV with the Mother and bicarbonate of soda.

Pour three table spoons of ACV in a clean glass.

Add 1/3 to 1/2 tsp of bicarbonate of soda, and let it dissolve until there are no further bubbles.

Add water.

Drink on an empty stomach.

I take the above concoction three times a day on an empty stomach:

- First thing in the morning upon waking up

- about 3 mins before lunch

- about 30 mins before going to sleep.

I will continue with this remedy even after the lump has totally disappeared, as I feel physically better taking it, as if I am receiving some type of boost.

God Bless

Salt and Spit Remedy for Breast Lump

Salt & Spit works GREAT!

I had a sizable lump on my breast. I took AVC with water 3 times daily, drank fresh green juices and cleaned the lump with peroxide then did the salt & spit solution. I would also put organic coconut oil on it.

I wore a tight bra and it started to hurt, it drew the toxins up to the surface of the skin the burst and drained over one week. It hurt a bit, but, all better. While it drained I continued using peroxided to clean and then more spit et salt.

It's all gone and no scar. People, we can heal ourselves. Now, I'm vegan and eating clean and workingout. Good luck.

DMSO, Castor Oil, Turpentine Healing Lipoma

Cure for Lipomas

I had a stone like item inside my buttox cheek when I was about 10 years old. Mom took me to the doctor who said he did not feel anything. It made me feel like I was sitting on a rock. Twenty years later it continued to grow until it was huge. I went to see a doctor who suggested a surgeon. The surgeon did the surgery removing nearly half of my left buttox to make it the size of the right one. It was a 10 day hospital stay and horrible. It has reappeared now and I'm using DMSO, Castor Oil, and turpentine mixture. I rub in on daily and it has decreased in size over half in just a few weeks. I will continue to use it and perhaps add the clove oil.

Always seek out natural remedies before surgery whether it be benign or malignant. Cancer doctors are using the same things they did 40 years ago and nothing has changed. People are still dying of it.

Bentonite Clay for Lipomas

Poochmcgooch (Florida) on 02/24/2017
4 out of 5 stars

BETTER BUT NOT CURED

I have found that ingesting bentonite clay has a lot of benefits, including liver, kidney and gallbladder cleansing as well as intestinal cleansing. The clay can also help heavy metal detox and remove toxins from the body while adding plenty of healthy minerals to the diet. I have been faithful with my bentonite clay (2x 2 tsp @ first thing in the morning and before I go to bed). I mix the 2 tsp of bentonite clay with a bottle of filtered water (not tap) and mix it all up (without a metal spoon or anything because the clay has metal properties and will lose potency if mixed with metal).

Doing this for the last month and a half, I have not had any more additional lipomas. I currently have 5 lipomas: small and pea sized- soft too. My father has them and I inherited them. From all my research and reading, I have seen many "solutions" and mixed results. I believe if you stick to the bentonite clay long enough there can be a reduction. I am not there yet, but am faithful it will happen. In addition to my daily ingested clay, I have also switched over to a paleo/fish diet (strictly fish/vegetables/fruits/NO SOY and reduced polyunsaturated fats). I have lost over 15lbs and have felt overall improvement in my self-esteem and have worried less about these lipomas ever since. I look forward to where my healthy eating habits will take me as well as the bentonite clay.

Warning: you will experience some constipation on the first day, but it will subside- DRINK A LOT OF WATER. The clay is not easy to down because it is literally dirt. Mix it with water and drink it 1hr before your first meal, make sure to be on an empty stomach and be persistent. The lipomas will disappear, or at the least be halted.

Keep your chin up, let God do the healing and hold the faith while you're at it.

Bless up.

Dietary Changes Helped Shrink Lipomas

I have been in extremely bad shape with multiple ailments including fibro (and many lipomas). I feel great now, actually better than I have ever felt in my life and I'm 59. I set out to reverse my fibro but healed so many other concerns in the process. The first thing I did was get rid of all processed and packaged foods. Then I discovered paleo which I did for about 18 mths. I also did multiple cleanses including a parasite cleanse. I noticed that quite a few of my lipomas also disappeared. I have about four left and found this site by searching for a natural cure for them. I will try some of these and report back. BTW, I am effectively living free of fibro.

Topical Application of Turmeric Cured my Lipoma in a Week

Baleswolf (San Diego) on 10/07/2016

I found a fatty growth over one of my ribs the size of a 50 cent piece. I take about 3,000 mg of turmeric per day for general inflammation. I made a paste with olive oil and a capsule of turmeric and applied it to the fatty growth daily and completely covered it with a band aid. I continued this for 7 days. I would remove band aid and clean area and immediately reapply so that it was continually in contact for the 7 day period. After the 7 days it was gone.
