How to Remove a Skin Mole With a Homemade Bloodroot Paste

Bloodroot is a low-growing woodland plant that is native to the north central United States as well as British Columbia and the prairie provinces in Canada. Several clinical studies have shown its effectiveness in removing skin tags or moles. There is also research showing its effectiveness in apoptosis, which is a kind of "cell suicide" or programmed cell death. It is a powerful herb. Used on skin tags and moles, bloodroot is an effective home remedy. It should be used very carefully, however, and in consultation with a health professional.
