Skin Tags/Warts

Unsightly warts or skin tags? Apply morning and night. If using Oregano, use a Qtip to dab one drop of on affected area…this will give you good control of application. Oregano is a hot oil so you won’t want to spread it around. Skin tags should fall off in a couple of weeks, you’ll be impressed!
For kids:Frankincense works wonderfully too! Apply morning and night and don’t cover with a bandaid, it’s important to let the area breathe. Also, it’s convenient to put the EO in a roll-on bottle so kids can apply themselves…they like taking charge
