Skin-Tags Oh My!

Don't ya hate those dreadful skin tags?

They don't really bother me and are completely harmless.

Nevertheless, you can get rid of them!

From personal experience. A dear family member of mine has some and they want to get rid of them. We found a great way to get rid of them.And no, clipping with fingernail clippers is not the solution. Ouch!

  Nail Polish! Just dab a very little amount on the skin tag. Top, and sides, but not your skin. Check the skin tag to make sure there is always some nail polish on it. Let nature do the rest. the nail polish suffocates the skin tag, causing it to die, turn black and fall off! It's amazing and almost pain free! Small skin tags fall off within three days. And larger ones can take up to three weeks or more. It's worth the time though. Especially when a bottle of nail polish is less than 99c. Who wants to painfully freeze them off when you can do this?

Skin may become slightly red or irritated around skin tag. But do not worry.
Skin tag may get larger. Which is normal because the skin tag is just coming out of your skin. It is even possible for the skin tag to double in size.

So happy skin tag killing. Please comment and post your results with skin tags!

Prunella vulgaris/ Heal All/ Self Heal

August's Featured Alternative- HARVESTING!
Prunella Vulgarius - Heal All

This beautiful flowering herb is not called heal all for no reason. It's mouth shaped flowers, rough-like little hairs and long tops is something that every home should have.To buy such a thing would cost you more than $60 on Amazon.


So why waste your money when (from my experience) grows from Ohio all the way across through to the panhandle in northern Idaho.

They are ready for picking as soon as a flower has bloomed on it. Here are some pictures of my harvesting last month. 

Prunella Vulgaris, grown in sunny, wet, dry, and shady conditions. Along trails, besides rivers, etc. this can be found everywhere. Grows to about 1-2ft tall. Purple Flowers. This particular site where I harvested in along side trail to the scenic Kootenai river, in North Western Montana.

I harvested about a pound Prunella Vulgaris. I must admit, I was very surprised to see such large tops! Some larger than the size of my pinky finger. I have never seen them so big. It must be the Montana air or something because in Ohio they were small.
The largest one I picked was almost the size of my index finger!
