7 All Natural Ways to Get Rid of Your Moles
Moles are something most of us encounter at one point in our lives. While most of them are harmless, sometimes they can be a sign of serious health concerns. If your mole has any of these traits, it may be a good idea to visit your doctor.

Looks different from month to month (changes in color, size or shape).
If you mole is a harmless one and you want to get rid of it, we've got you covered. Here are 7 remedies you can use at home to get rid of your mole naturally.
Apple Cider Vinegar
This stuff is amazing. It has all sorts of culinary and health uses. Did you know it can also remove moles? It's not an over night thing, it will take a little while. Soak a cotton ball with the vinegar and tap it over the mole to stay on over night. Use some coconut oil on the skin directly around the mole to to protect your skin. This will cause the mole to scab over and fall off over time.
Pineapple and Sea Salt
Pineapple is packed with natural citric acid that will dissolve the mole; the sea salt sheds the skin giving you smoother, clear skin underneath. You could also use lemons or other fruit high in citric acid.
Honey
Another amazing gift from nature, honey, can help you shrink your mole. You'll need a honey that is 100% natural (or pure) for this to work. You may find this at a health food store or directly from a beekeeper. Clean the ares with soap and warm water. Carefully apply a layer of honey to the mole and apply a bandage or sterile piece of gauze over it. Leave it on over night. Repeat the process until you are happy with the results.
Castor Oil and Baking Soda
For this method, mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda with 1/2 teaspoon of castor oil to make a paste. Apple the mixture and leave it on over night. This will cause the mole to dry up and fall off. After the mole falls off, it's a good idea to massage unscented cream into the are to keep a scab from forming.
Garlic
A little stinkier than some of the others on this list, but still worth a shot. Simply take a clove of garlic and smash it up a little bit (making sure to remove the papery skin). Secure the garlic to your mole with a bandage or gauze and leave on over night. Repeat until the mole is gone.
Aloe Vera Gel
This one will take longer than most other DIY remedies, but it's ideal for people with sensitive skin. Apply fresh Aloe Vera gel onto the mole and cover it, leaving it on overnight. You can fins good quality gel at a health food store, or if you have an Aloe Vera plant at home, you can get it directly from the leaves!
Flaxseed
This method is supposed to be particularly useful for removing raised moles. Mix together finely ground flaxseed and honey with flaxseed oil to make a paste. Apply it to your mole and leave on for at least an hour. Follow these steps three times a day for a few weeks. This will soften the mole and loosen it around the edges, allowing it to fall of easily.
