black tea for ganglion cyst
The acidic property of black tea helps heal a ganglion cyst and prevents it from getting worse. The tea’s anti-inflammatory nature also provides relief from pain and swelling.
- Dip a black tea bag in warm water for 5 minutes.
- Remove it and squeeze out the excess water.
- Hold the moist, warm tea bag over the affected area for 10 minutes.
- Repeat a few times daily for several days.
2. Frankincense Oil
Frankincense oil is an effective astringent that can help reduce the size of a ganglion cyst and prevent it from recurring. It can also ease the pain.
- Apply 2 drops of frankincense oil on your cyst.
- Cover it with a soft, clean bandage.
- Do this once daily, using a clean bandage each time, until the size has reduced. Continue applying the oil for a couple of weeks to reduce the risk of recurrence.
