    Black Salve: Anecdotal Healing Skin Growths, Warts, Moles & Skin Tags

    Black Salve: Anecdotal Healing Skin Growths, Warts, Moles & Skin Tags. A small jar of Virxcan Sun Skin Salve

    [I have permission to bring Lori’s experience to you here on the blog because we both feel strongly about sharing knowledge with readers and letting you make up your own mind. Our family has also used it with good success! This is anecdotal only.] By Lori Alexander

    Our Experience With Black Salve

    This is my opinion only!

    I take no responsibility for the results you experience with Black Salve, but my family has had wonderful experiences with it. I bought it many years ago and I forgot who told me about it but it has gotten rid of our moles, warts, pre-skin cancer, and skin cancer (basal cell and squamous cell).

    It truly is amazing. Not one thing that I have treated has EVER grown back!

    If you have something growing on your skin, you put a big blob of it on a little round band aid and put it on your sore, mole, or wart. Wait twenty four hours, then take the band aid off.  Sometimes it stings a lot. This definitely means it is something that needs to go.

    If nothing happens, it means that there was nothing that needed to go.

    Black Salve: Anecdotal Healing Skin Growths, Warts, Moles & Skin Tags. a bandaid with a dab of black salve

    I had a sore on my chest that was getting redder and wouldn’t heal. I put some Black Salve on it and it immediately started stinging. It stung the whole 24 hours and when I took the band-aid off the sore was white, swollen, and full of puss.

    The thing that is great about Black Salve is it only goes after the cancer, wart, or mole. The skin around it gets a little red but that is all.

     

    When you take the band aid off, clean the sore with hydrogen peroxide, put a dab of Vaseline or coconut oil on it (I bought my Vaseline at the health food store so there wouldn’t be any petrochemicals in it), and put another small round band aid on it.

    Do this (apply vaseline or coconut oil) every day until it is healed.

    [Clarification from Lori: You apply the Black Salve only once for 24 hours. Then after this, you change the band-aid (applying Vaseline or coconut oil to the sore) daily until the root falls out and it completely heals which can take up to three weeks if it’s big like the one of my arm was.]

    This is the key to having the smallest scar possible.  Sometimes it leaves a little scar, but if you went to a doctor, they would probably leave a bigger scar (if it had to have it cut out).

    You can get a fever using it. We’ve never gotten one, but I heard it is possible as your body fights the injury.

    Usually after several days, the root will eventually fall out and leave a hole in your skin, but it will heal. Sometimes if the wart or mole is a little stubborn, I will keep it on for 48 hours. I would suggest doing no more than one area at a time so you don’t overwhelm your body.

    I love finding things like this that I can take care of instead of going to the doctor. We have had amazing success with this and will keep on using it since it works so great!  We have had our small jar for many years and all of my family uses it.

     

    Recently, I had this sore right near my elbow that wouldn’t heal. I put some Black Salve (see link below to read more) on it and immediately it began to burn. It burned the whole 24 hours and became red and swollen. Even when I took the Salve off and put vaseline and a band aid over it, it burned for about a week afterwards.

    It was by far the biggest spot I have ever used this on. Puss and even a little blood oozed out from under the band aid.

    The Root Uprooted with Black Salve

    The big white thing is now the root. It should come out in a few days.

    The core coming to a head

    (Yes, the good Lord didn’t bless me with good skin. I freckle and wrinkle very easily, and I am 56 years old with way too many years in the sun!)

    That same wound and core closing up

    Here it is several weeks later. This was by far the worse treatment so far. It was much bigger and deeper than I thought it would be. It was very swollen and painful for at least a week and then it again “leaked” clear fluid and blood.

    I finally put on Manuka Honey on it yesterday to help it heal up faster, and it did the trick! It will take a few more weeks for it to completely heal, but it’s getting there.

    Two Months Later

    Above is a picture about two months after applying the Black Salve (see link below to read more). It is a flat red spot that will probably completely disappear in a few more months.

    I LOVE this stuff!

    ***UPDATE: It’s been six months and I can barely see it!

    5/13/2018: Here’s one that I treated with Black Salve a few days ago on my neck. I will show you it in a few months to show how little scar it leaves!

    Another core of a benign skin cancer on the neck coming to a head
     
     That benign skin cancer healed.

    I link to Virxcan Black Salve only so you can see it on Amazon here and read the reviews.  It is an ‘Amazon’s Choice’ product. Mind you, I am not recommending that you use it – just showing what we use. We’ve had our one jar for many years and we have shared it with others. We only need/use a tiny bit each time.

    Also, there appears to be a knock-off product: DO NOT USE IT, even though it is on Amazon. It is called “Virxcan-X Salve” by Sunstone Formulas. Sunstone is NOT the same. Read the reviews!!

    Hi! I'm Jacqueline!

    Thanks for being part of this journey with me.
    Welcome to my own little place on the internet! Home is where I love to be. I feel there is no greater place to incubate souls. These days you’ll find me using my experiences here to write about herbal remedies and natural health research — a big passion of mine. But being a wife and mother is not easy. It is challenging and potentially lonely. I get that. I wanted to create a place to connect with and support other moms for creating a natural, healthy, and fulfilling home life.

      Thanks for sharing your experience! Quick question about this paragraph: “When you take the band aid off, clean the sore with hydrogen peroxide, put a dab of Vaseline or coconut oil on it (I bought my Vaseline at the health food store so there wouldn’t be any petrochemicals in it), and put another small round band aid on it. Do this every day until it is healed.”

      Did you apply the black salve only once (for the 24 hours) and then apply the Vaseline every day after that? Or did you apply the black salve every day until it was healed? (Just want to make sure that I’m reading it correctly.)

      Thank you!

      This is a really good article. I appreciate the honest review of the salve, and the photos are very encouraging. One of my sweet grands has a mole on her cheek that she hates. I just ordered the salve so when it arrives I’ll have her read this post for encouragement. She will be so glad to get rid of that thing.

        Hi, Toni! Thanks for letting me know that. There are many reviews I have been reading and many work perfectly. The ones that get 1 or 2 stars just say it doesn’t do anything to it. Let me know how it does!

        Joanna, that I don’t know. A typical keloid isn’t a growth like a mole or basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma, but you can test a small area. If it isn’t something that can “die”, it should not hurt or help. Just my opinion 🙂 J

          I feel like I’ve tried so many things for my keloids (including steroid injections by a dermatologist- which made one WORSE because he hit a blood vessel right in the middle of my chest ?.) SOOO frustrating!!

      I’m a little afraid of black salve since it will take the cancer out (if it’s skin cancer), as deep as the cancer goes… But I am covered in freckles and moles, and literally everyone in my family has had squamous or basal cell, and even a few melanomas, so I probably should buy some and carefully use…
      Did you know there is an Amish farmer in federal prison for making black (or bloodroot) salve because of the label on his product? I am friends with his nephew, who is also named Sam Girod. Terribly sad story.

        Yes, Katrina. It is a sad story. Thousands have used it safely but I am sure there are others who are either not following instructions or have something else going on besides. After all I have seen in the OR and from medical malpractice, I trust myself much more and can use common sense after researching. But, I digress. I would love it of you would take a few pictures to add to this post if you are comfortable with that. Blessings!

        Kimberly, in several places she mentions it stinging…If you are a highly sensitive person or have a very low pain threshold, I wonder if you can find a topical ointment with lidocaine in it and put a tiny amt. right around the bandaid (but not on the spot you are targeting?

      Hi Lori,

      Thankyou! This has been so helpful.

      Is there any reason it needs to be vaseline or coconut oil? Is it possible to use pure vitamin E oil?

      • Jacqueline

        August 29, 2019 at 3:37 pm

        Emily, it can be Vitamin E oil, but it also needs to keep the scab moist. I actually do not like vaseline, so have started to use only raw honey or coconut oil so there is no scarring. It is under a bandaid, so not sticky! Hope that helps! ~J

      Hi Jacqueline, I have a question regarding moles. Will this work on raised moles or is it only for flat moles? I have one on the base of my neck that I’ve had since I was a little girl and have been self conscious because of it. It is close to the size of a pea and stick out. I would love to try this, but want to make sure it will work. Kindest regards, Emily

        Hi, Emily! I would try lemon juice first. I have not personally removed a mole so don’t want to advise on that. Lemon juice has worked for several friends’ moles on their face. Here is what they did: https://articles.mercola.com/how-to-get-rid-of-moles.aspx
        I hope that gives some guidance! ~J

        Hi Emily!

        Being in the comments thread, I received this and thought you might be interested in knowing that I recently removed a raised mole (that had been a little bit itchy on and off for years) on my back with bloodroot salve (black salve) from Zenith Herbal. This is said to be the best, most reputable source for high quality, safe products. I feared the pain, etc. but having first tried vitamin C powder (that was said on Mercola not to impact anything but the mole), I quickly discovered the salve was so much better. The C powder DID affect my normal skin around and along with the mole. I stopped using it, let it heal, and then used the black salve which only went after the mole with FAR LESS pain! (Brief, stinging ache was all) It was gone in one week and has healed so well! I kept it covered with a round, sensitive skin band-aid and applied the healing salve also sold by Zenith, but found that my old stand-by herbal healing salve (Lucinda’s 8-Herb Salve) worked even better. (Plus it is much cheaper!!) Maybe this will help you, too! ?

        Diane, make sure it is not a melanoma. That is not what Black Salve is for – black salve does nothing for melanoma. Once you know it is a basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma, you may consider it at that size. Where is it located? That makes a differnce, and if it is pendulous, that would also be a consideration. I would pray about it and ask the Lord to lead you. You can also detox internally and I can tell you how to do that on email if interested. Let me know!

        Marney, I am not sure to tell because I don’t know the ingredients that your salve contains or the size of your container.
        If it is oil based, I would use a tiny bit of olive oil or coconut oil. Obviously not too much. Start very small and stir or mash in with a small spoon.
        If it is water based, use a few drops of water.. work with it like you would bread dough to get the right consistency!
        I hope that helps!

          Hi Jacque,

          Thanks for posting this article…have you ever heard of someone using this for breast cancer? I’ve been detoxing deeply and now my tumor is at the surface, I feel it really wants to get out! Its quite large, maybe 3 centimeters…I know this would be quite intense, and I would need to be brave, any recommends you have a greatly welcome and appreciated.

          Thanks for posting your article, I had do a bit of digging to find anything positive on black salve.

          Kindly,
          Marie

            Hi, Marie! I do remember seeing a video a long while ago on someone doing what you spoke of, and it did exit with some blood and pus. If I remember, it was intact.
            I can’t say that I know of anyone else that has done that, otherwise, though. I would love to know what you have been deeply detoxing with!
            God bless you as you seek for wisdom and an answer to your question!
