Home Remedies for Ganglion Cysts. How to Treat and Prevent Ganglion Cysts - Part 2
6. Aloe Vera
The anti-inflammatory and healing
property of aloe vera reduces pain, swelling and stimulates healing of ganglion
cyst.
Apply some fresh/homemade aloe vera gel
on the affected area for 40-60 minutes, and then wash it off with lukewarm
water. Follow this remedy on regular basis 2-3 times a day.
7. Epsom salt
Epsom salt has healing and
anti-inflammatory property that relieves pain, inflammation and helps reduce
and heal the ganglion cyst within a few weeks.
1. Mix 1 teaspoon of Epsom salt, 1
teaspoon of glycerin and 2 pinches of borax powder in 4-5 tablespoon of water.
Mix the ingredients completely and apply it on cyst using cotton swab and cover
it with bandage. Follow this remedy twice a day for several days.
2. Alternatively, add 1-2 tablespoon of
Epsom salt to 1-2 cups of warm water. Soak the affected area in it for 15-20
minutes. Repeat once or twice a day for
several days.
8. Echinacea
Echinacea helps shrink the ganglion cyst
as it enhances the level of the chemical called ‘Properdine’ in the body, which
stimulates our immune system and minimizes the ganglion cyst.
1. You can get readymade echinacea
ointment and directly apply it over the cyst. Do this 3-4 times a day until you
get result.
2. You can also drink a warm cup of
echinacea herbal tea twice daily, but only for 7 days, do not have it on
regular basis.
Note: People suffering from autoimmune disorder must not
take echinacea internally.
9.
Frankincense oil
Frankincense oil not only reduces the
pain but also reduces the size of ganglion cyst. Additionally, it prevents cyst
from recurring.
1. Apply 2-3 warm drops of frankincense
oil on the cyst and cover it with betel leaf or soft bandage.
2.
Repeat this once or twice daily, using a new betel leaf or clean
bandage, until the size of cyst has reduced. After that you can continue
applying it for 12-15 days to reduce recurring.
