How-to-Cure-Lipoma-using-Apple-Cider-Vinegar

Lipoma is a fat lump or nodule that made of adipose (fatty) tissues which are located beneath the skin. Actually, it appears like a big pimple that can reach to several centimeters. It is a benign tumor (non – cancerous) which is harmless, painless, non – itchy or not as red on the skin and it is soft to touch and can be moved under the skin.

Lipoma is not a dangerous health problem but grows in size without spreading throughout the body or not forming metastases. These fatty nodes occur inside the body like torso, upper thighs, neck, upper arms and armpits that was caused due to some irregularity on your body (a sign of something went wrong).

Even most of the doctors considered this lipoma as a common small problem but in certain cases when you’re having more lipomas then you have to know what the underlying problem is. There is no exact cause for the occurrence of these lipomas inside the skin. It occurs in people of all ages, most commonly in middle age.

It is also considered as a beauty problem and can be removed from the treatment procedures like surgery, liposuction, and steroid injections. However, all these treatments can shrink Lipoma but won’t destroy it completely. So, it’s best to use some natural ways for treating Lipomas. Apple cider vinegar (ACV) stands best in treating Lipoma without any side effects and cost effective.

  • It acts as a best remedy for losing weight that results in the decrease of fat deposits in your body.
  • It has essential organic acids, nutrients, pectin, potash and enzymes that raise the metabolism and burns the fat faster.
  • It hydrates and refreshes the body to remove the water retention. It also suppresses your appetite to make you eat less and feel lighter.

I read lots of reviews on acv so I’m going to try it and I’ll report back to you all and let you know if anything changes in a few months. I was really worried at first, now I’m willing to try anything other than doctors. Stay healthy all

    I have a lipoma tumor the size of a baseball ( no exaggeration) on top of my left shoulder blade. Doctors want nearly $2,000 to remove it- which is insane, but another conversation to be had. I’m taking ACV to help lose to last 10 of 60 lbs. I hope taking the ACV will also shrink the lypoma so I don’t have to wear loose-fitting shirts. Time will tell

      Melt 2 – 3 tablespoons of beeswax and add 1/2 teaspoon of dried cedar in it and stir well. Cool this mixture and then add 3 – 4 tablespoons of raw, organic apple cider vinegar. Stir well and pour this mixture into an airtight container. Leave for a few hours and use it as your lipoma ointment.

      Simply prepare a lipoma herbal ointment by mixing 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder (or 1/2 – 1 teaspoon of dried sage or 1 teaspoon of chickweed) in 2 – 3 tablespoons of flaxseed oil or neem oil (or 1 – 2 tablespoons of cooled green tea). Apply it to the lipoma affected skin areas and rinse off with water after a few minutes and repeat the same action regularly.

    Hi,

    I have multiple lumps for very long time. (More than 15 yrs) – Two big lumps in stomach area and several small ones in both my arms, triceps etc. I even had 1 removed and did biopsy and was confirmed to be non-cancerous. Since I have multiple lumps in different parts of the body, I dont think applying any mixture would be a workable solution. I would prefer direct intake of ACV either separately or dilute with water / honey. What Im concerned is the side effect mentioned here for direct intake that it may affect the enamels / tooth. I would like to know the speed of impact to the enamels / tooth once I start taking in ACV. Will there be damage in 1 week or is it ok to consume for a month or so without any side effects ? Pls. clarify. Thanks in advance.

      Hello, direct consumption of ACV is not recommended because, it is highly acidic and can destroy tooth enamel. So, it is always advised to drink the ACV in diluted form i.e. for 1 spoon of ACV you should add 5 spoons of water. From this, it becomes less acidic and safer to drink. For safer side it is always better to use straw for drinking purpose. Through this method, the ACV doesn’t touches your teeth and is directly swallowed inside. Consumption of ACV directly can be harmful to tooth enamel as well as stomach.

      During the fermentation process in the second stage alcohol is formed which is further converted into acetic acid. So, ACV contains almost 3-4 % of alcohol.
