February 24, 2006, Newsletter Issue #139: Bloodroot, Warts & Skin Tags

Tip of the Week

Bloodroot pastes and salves have been used successfully to treat warts. This herb works because it is an *escharotic*, which means it has a scab-producing substance, working much like wart medications containing salicylic acid. You can make a paste by mixing about 5 drops of bloodroot extract and a sprinkle of flour. Apply to skin BUT make sure to do a sensitivity test as bloodroot can cause skin burns to some people. Once youīve determined your tolerance, apply the paste for a day or so, then remove it and wait for the scab to form and drop off. Repeat process until skin tag is gone. AVOID using on children.
