An effective home treatment for ganglion cysts is, "The Book Method." This method sounds painful and perhaps a bit hasty. But some who suffer from ganglion cysts choose this method of treating ganglion cysts because it is so easily available and brings a resolution to the problem swiftly!

How Do I Get Rid of a Ganglion Cyst with a Book?

As the name implies, you simply hit the ganglion cyst with a book. While some describe the method as smashing or whacking, it may not even take quite the force these words would imply.

  1. First, find a hardback book that you can easily handle with one hand.
  2. Tap the cyst a couple of times lightly on the cyst. This will give you courage to increase the force you use.
  3. Hit the cyst with more force once or twice.
  4. Increase force if needed until the cyst is gone or you no longer feel comfortable doing so.
  5. Apply ice to the site of the cyst for 10 minutes.
