Bloodroot For Treating Moles and Skin Tags

Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) is a perennial, herbaceous plant native to North America and Canada. It has been used for many purposes, by Native Americans, for centuries. It can be made into a salve, which has been proven very effective for removing a mole, or skin tag. Several products for treating moles and skin tags contain bloodroot, including DermaTend™.

The FDA warns against the use of bloodroot for anything, saying it is toxic, and disfiguring when used for removing moles. I find this to be misleading, as I myself have used bloodroot. It does destroy the cells of a mole, which are actually caused by a virus. The FDA claims that bloodroot will severely disfigure those who apply it to "skin cancers". This is where their findings become misleading.

First off, moles, and skin cancers are two different things. Moles can become cancerous, as can any cell, but they are not inherently so. The FDA sites a case, where an alternative health care practitioner prescribed bloodroot for skin cancer, and breast cancer. In these cases the tumors spread, and there was apparently disfigurement in the patients. The problem is, bloodroot is not recommended to treat cancer. If you have cancer, there are many treatments alternative to chemotherapy; however that is not what we are talking about.

We are talking about using bloodroot for removing non-cancerous moles and skin tags. The FDA claims that bloodroot may not remove all of the diseased cells, and that is partly why it is so "dangerous". This may have some truth to it, but we are not speaking of cancerous moles. It may be true however, that bloodroot may not entirely remove a deep mole, in one application. That is why it is nor a bad idea to have a dermatologist check you out before, and after removing a regular shaped mole with bloodroot. Although you may have to reapply the salve, you do not have to worry about removing all the "cancer", as we are not treating "cancer". At worst you will have not removed all of the non-cancerous mole, and will need to repeat the process.

In my opinion, bloodroot is very safe and effective in removing regular moles and skin tags. I have myself removed several moles with a bloodroot product. Some of the moles were completely removed easily and quickly (3 days), and some took longer and required multiple applications. If left on too long it can burn your skin, but you would have to leave it on for weeks! I myself have left it on my skin for four of five days (two or three is recommended), with slight burning, but no disfiguration. I could see how if you had skin cancer, and applied bloodroot to a skin cancer, it could be dangerous. The bloodroot would likely kill the cancer, and if the cancer had spread, it could cause problems.

That is why the FDA findings are misleading, and needed to be addressed. I have safely removed several moles with bloodroot. I suggest you find a good dermatologist, with some knowledge of alternative methods, before treating yourself. With that said, bloodroot is an effective way of removing a mole at home.

DermaTend™ For Removing Moles

Does DermaTend™ work for removing moles? Well in my experience, it does. It is natural, blood root based topical solution which removes moles. Blood root is a paste made from plant extracts. Although it has many uses as a general anti-viral, it works well to remove skin moles.

Removing a mole form home can be safe and easy with products such as DermaTend™. All one need do is apply the solution, and wait as the mole is destroyed to the root. There is a slight amount of stinging as the skin must be pricked, so the paste can enter the skin and treat the mole quicker. The pain is not nearly as bad as having surgery and stitches. Removing a mole by surgery, is by far the most painful of treating them in my experience.

Then there is the issue of price. DermaTend™ is very affordable. You should be able to remove literally dozens of moles, for the price it would cost to remove one mole with a plastic surgeon. DermaTend™ cost under $100, and you won't be able to get even one mole removed for that at the hospital. Aside from that I don't like hospitals, and I would prefer any safe "at home" method for that reason. There are many natural products for removing a mole, DermaTend™ is a good one. Check out their website for more information on the product.

All Natural Mole Removal

There are literally dozens of all natural mole removal methods which are both safe, and effective. Not only that, they are inexpensive and easy.

I was shocked to find out that there were alternatives to having moles removed by surgery. I began having moles removed at age 12, and had several trips to the dermatologist throughout my teens.

I always remember asking my doctor if there were any advancements in the treatment of moles. His replies were always the same, "Unfortunately not".

I didn't discover the truth until much later. I wish I knew then, what I know now. I would have had a lot less scar tissue, and embarrassment as a teenager.

Anyways there's great news for any people concerned with removing moles safely, and effectively, from home, with all natural methods.

There are several products on the market which I have tried, with varying degrees of success. You should know that there are so many ways to treat moles, warts and skin tags, that there is a treatment that works for everyone.

Many people believe that moles are caused by over-exposure to the sun, but this is not really true.

Moles, skin tags, and warts are caused by a viral infection within the body. Before trying any products for removing your moles at home, I highly suggest you educate yourself on the root causes of these infections, and then choose the proper regimen for you.

I highly recommend you check out Moles, Warts, and Skin Tags Removal for more information. It is an excellent resource.
