A lipoma is a benign (non-cancerous) tumor of fatty tissue. Fat tumors are painless, harmless, and slow growing. Lipomas are located between the skin and muscle, move freely under the skin, have a soft or mushy feel. Most lipomas appear on the neck, shoulders, abdomen, arms, thighs, and back, which can interfere with movement and cause cosmetic problems. Here are some natural treatments you can try to reduce your lipoma, improve your range of motion and your appearance. [1] X Trusted Source Mayo Clinic Go to Source
Steps
Treat lipomas with natural oils and herbs

Prepare ointments with natural oils and herbs. Natural oils such as neem oil and linseed oil are excellent substrates for ointments. Try several different combinations of oils and herbs.
- Neem oil is an astringent that helps protect the skin. This oil is commonly used in Ayurvedic medicine to treat lipomas. [2] X Research Source
- Flaxseed oil is high in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids work to reduce inflammation. You should make sure to purchase flaxseed oil that is certified free of heavy metals, such as lead and mercury.
Tip: While not a natural oil, cooled green tea is also an excellent base for oil substitution. Green tea is rich in antioxidants, which help stabilize blood sugar and blood fats. [3] X Research Sources

Mix sage with natural oil or tea as a base. Mix 1 teaspoon of sage with 2-3 tablespoons of neem or flaxseed oil. Apply medicine to the fat.

- You can also use 1-2 tablespoons of cooled green tea instead of neem or flaxseed oil to make a paste.

Make turmeric ointment. Mix 1 teaspoon of turmeric with 2-3 tablespoons of neem or flaxseed oil. Rub this medicine on the lipoma. Turmeric will cause the skin to turn yellow or orange. You should use a bandage to cover the fat tumor to protect the clothes. [5] X Research Sources
- Similar to neem oil, turmeric is also widely used in Ayurvedic medicine.
- To make a paste, you can mix turmeric with 1-2 tablespoons of cooled green tea as a substitute for neem or flaxseed oil.

Mix dried sage into neem or flaxseed oil. Mix ½ teaspoon of dried sage with 2-3 tablespoons of neem or flaxseed oil. Apply oil to the cyst.
- Replace the neem and flaxseed oils with 1-2 tablespoons of cooled green tea to make a paste.
- Sage is used in traditional Chinese medicine to dissolve fatty tissue. [6] X Wood Research Source , M. The Earthwise Herbal: A Complete Guide to Old World Medicinal Plants, 2008

Eat more fish. Fish is rich in omega-3 fats and good protein. Omega-3 fats reduce inflammation and inhibit the growth of lipomas. [9] X Fritsche KL.The science of fatty acids and inflammation . Adv Nutr. 2015 May 15;6(3):293S-301S
- Salmon and tuna are good sources of omega-3 fatty acids as well as protein. [10] X Trusted Source American Heart Association Go To Source[11] X Research Source
- Rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids include mackerel, herring, and salmon, which are also high in vitamin B-12. [12] X Research Source

Limit your intake of red meat. If you eat red meat, make sure you’re using grass-fed meat that’s free of antibiotics and hormones. The meat of grass-fed cattle is rich in healthy omega-3 and omega-6 fats. [13 ] X Research sources Byelashov OA, Sinclair AJ, Kaur G., Dietary sources, current intakes, and nutritional rpe of omega-3 docosapentaenoic acid. Lipid Technp. 2015 Apr;27(4):79-82.
- Chicken, tofu and beans are healthy alternatives to red meat and are also high in protein.

Switch to organic foods as much as possible. When switching to organic food, you will limit the preservatives and additives loaded into the body. The liver will then be able to focus on eliminating toxins that have accumulated in the fatty tissue of the adipose tumor.
Do you know? Limiting the amount of processed or packaged foods also helps reduce the additives and preservatives you eat.

See your doctor if you experience pain or discomfort, new lumps, or swelling. It is quite possible for a tumor to look a lot like a lipoma but is actually a different disease. Lipomas will not cause pain, so if you do feel pain, this could be a sign that there is another underlying disease. Also, it’s best not to try to treat a new tumor or swollen area on your own until you’ve seen your doctor. [14] X Trusted Source Mayo Clinic Go to Source
- This lump shouldn’t be cause for concern, but it’s still best to make sure it’s a lipoma and not something else.

Your doctor will probably do a biopsy for you and take an X-ray, MRI, or CT scan. These tests will help your doctor make sure it’s really a lipoma. In most cases, your doctor will perform a quick diagnostic test in the office. [15] X Trusted Source Mayo Clinic Go to Source
- The biopsy won’t hurt, but you may feel some discomfort. Before doing the biopsy, the doctor will numb the area around the lipoma. They will then use a thin needle to remove a small sample from the tumor. Finally, they will use a microscope to examine the tumor sample to make sure it is a lipoma
- X-rays, MRI, and CT are imaging tests. In most cases, your doctor will only do one of them. X-rays can show the dark areas where the fatty tumor is located, and images from MRI and CT can show more details of the tumor. [16] X Research Source

Ask your doctor if liposuction surgery can treat lipomas. If you have a small lipoma that makes everyday life inconvenient, your doctor may be able to remove it with liposuction. To perform this procedure, your doctor will use a numbing medicine around the tumor so you won’t feel any pain. They will then use a needle to suck the fatty tissue out of the lipoma. [17] X Trusted Source Mayo Clinic Go to Source
- This procedure is very quick and does not require much rest. However, you may experience swelling, discomfort, and bruising.

Consider surgical removal of the tumor if the fatty tumor is interfering with your activities. If your doctor thinks surgery is right for you, he or she will put you under anesthesia before surgery. To remove a lipoma, they will make a small cut and separate the tumor from your body. Finally, they will sew up the incision. [18] X Trusted Source Mayo Clinic Go to Source
- After surgery, you may have scarring at the site of surgery. However, the scar may be barely noticeable. In addition, discomfort and bruising are also common for a few days after surgery.
- You may also consider surgery if a fatty tumor is affecting how you feel about your body.
Tip: If your lipoma is removed surgically, it is unlikely to return.
Advice
- It’s always best to consult your doctor before trying natural remedies.
- Apply multiple herbal ointments daily for best results.
- Never try to squeeze or stimulate a lipoma.
Warning
- All of the above herbal remedies have not been scientifically studied. The evidence may be hearsay and should not be used as a substitute for medical evaluation and treatment.
