Skin Tumors in Pets

Skin tumors are incredibly common in our pets, and while most of them are benign, it’s essential to address them. In this video, I’ll be sharing eight remedies that you can use to treat your dog or cat’s skin tumors at home. I’ll also demonstrate how to make a new skin tumor home remedy paste, so make sure to stay until the end.

Understanding Mass Cell Tumors

Mass cell tumors are the most common skin tumor in dogs, accounting for 7 to 21% of all skin tumors. Mass cells are a crucial part of your pet’s immune system, helping to ward off foreign invaders like parasites. However, when these cells form a tumor, they can release toxic chemicals, leading to symptoms like itching, scratching, and localized swelling. The most common sign of a mass cell tumor is a red, raised, often ulcerated lump that is fairly irritated.

Natural Remedies for Skin Tumors

There are several natural remedies you can consider for treating skin tumors in your pets:

1. Nettle: A great natural antihistamine that can be given as a tea or extract to help counteract the release of histamine from mass cells.
2. Quercetin: A natural anti-inflammatory and antihistamine that is ideal for pets with mass cell tumors. It can be given as a supplement.
3. Licorice Root Extract: Considered the natural corticosteroid, licorice root extract has properties similar to corticosteroid drugs and can be effective in treating allergies and tumors.
4. CBD: Ingredients from the cannabis plant have been studied for their effects on skin tumors, and CBD can be used both orally and topically to treat mass cell tumors.

1. Turkey Tail Extract: A medicinal mushroom that is classified as a medicinal treatment for cancer in Japan. It can boost the immune system and is given as a supplement.

Making an Anti-Cancer Paste

I’ll show you how to make an anti-cancer paste using three key ingredients:

1. Chaga Mushroom: A potent antioxidant widely studied for immune support and cancer treatment.
2. Castor Oil: A topical anti-inflammatory used for lumps and bumps.
3. Neem Oil: Known for its insecticidal properties, but also has skin support and anti-cancer properties.

To make the paste, mix chaga powder with boiling water, let it steep, and then add castor oil and neem oil. Apply this paste directly over the tumor and cover it with a bandage overnight. Repeat this process twice a day for two weeks to assess its effectiveness.
