Herb Pharm Thuja Branchlet Liquid Extract - 1 Ounce (DTHUJA01)

I've been using Herb Pharm Thuja Branchlet Liquid Extract for a few weeks now, and I'm genuinely impressed with its quality and effectiveness. The extract is made from fresh, wildcrafted Thuja occidentalis branchlets, and you can tell Herb Pharm takes great care in sourcing and preparing their products. This product is for external use only which is not clear in the listing but use topically for skin blemishes and warts. The dropper makes it easy to apply precisely, and a little goes a long way. I appreciate that it's non-GMO, vegan, and gluten-free, and the alcohol base feels clean and potent without being harsh. Only cautions are that it has a pretty strong odor and has the potential to stain your clothes.

Here is our story. Lengthy, but the review is at the end. Belle, our Pit Bull got these nasty warts on three of her legs. Began like teeny warts, then pimples, then zits, then so large that it began to ulcer and pop and bleed bleed bleed. We freaked out and thought it was skin cancer or something and took her to the vet. We had out vet remove the warts from her three legs and send it off for a biopsy. Each removal would have been $150, but our vet was so sweet they only charged us for one removal ('=. Still, the total came up to $550. Ohhhh the burden of the bandages though!!!!!!!!!!! Belle kept tearing them off, so we had to buy a cone, but even that didn't stop her. Tore off her stitches so many times we had to buy vetericyn (around $30 at petco) to help keep the wound clean and speed up the healing process. We doused her bandages with lemon, tabasco, bitter apple, cayenne... didn't stop her but every time she licked it she went crazy because it was so spicy. Poor girl.... The result of these warts were skin herpes and our vet said puppies and older dogs are prone to getting them because they have weaker immune systems but eventually fight them off. So if she got them again, just wait until they go away. They ulcered so bad.. we don't ever want to go through that again because it would pop and bleed every where. But ONTO this product. Belle's friend started to sprout out little warts (a LOT of them) a month or so after her wart removals. Our vet did NOT tell us it was contagious (we are thinking Belle might've picked it up from a dog at the pet store or dog park..) I felt so bad and was praying they didn't have to pay to get them removed. Researched online for remedies (now that I found out the cause) and came across this product. Asked my vet and he said, "Well... this remedy might not work and sometimes people think it does because they put it on and it goes away, but these warts naturally go away on their own..." in sum he was incredibly skeptical and did not believe in homeopathic remedies. But we did not want our friend to spend half a thousand to remove them, or isolate their dog from other dogs for months, etc. Got this shipped, put it on the dog, and the warts went away!!! They didn't even pimple up yet! THIS WORKS!!!!! So happy but also a little sad we didn't stumble upon this first. Belle has these nasty scars and people think she's been in fights and its not particularly great since she is a pit bull. Definitely recommend!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is not real tasty but if it is mixed with about 2 oz of ginger ale it is much better. The tablets works but slowly and takes at least 3 packs to get any results, those plus the Boiron Calendula Cream which really helps is work and makes skin a lot softer too. A side bonus plus both together helped to clear my back of something the Dr was stumped by? It is slowly getting better and I ordered more Thuja Occidntalis as a liquid an am continuing to use this. This was my last ditch go to as it seems nothing else even comes close to working. It is shrinking flat warts and skin tags too. It took years to accumulate and it is too much damage to expect burning or freezing it off to work. Those methods haven't worked things come back or come up in a new place. Yuck!

I can’t stress how much I recommend this for pet owners who’s dog has papillomas! The pictures show the results of twice a day for only 6 days! So easy to apply- I use a q-tip- and my dog is totally okay with the application.

This stuff is fantastic! We adopted a sweet little Beagle who for what ever reason, stress probably, coming into a new environment, developed a huge ugly wart on his little lip. Then one started growing inside his mouth. I did some research and found this wonderful stuff! One dose and 2 weeks later it is almost gone! The one on the inside of his mouth is gone completely! My Sister has a Pitt, the sweetest bulldog ever! She and Z came down the other day and I said "Brenda, what in the world is this lump on Z's back?!" Bren says "The vet said it was probably an old injury and nothing to worry about" Well this lump was the size of a silver dollar, the old ones from the 1960's not the new ones. I put a several drops in a little milk and gave it to Z. That was over a week ago and that lump has shrunk to the size of a dime! I will check her again and probably give her another dose because she is a big girl, I keep telling Brenda to take her to those Weight Watcher meetings she goes to, but she won't. I do highly recommend this product as do Sam the Beagle and Z the Bulldog

While I'm bothered that it wasn't clear that this was external use only, it is effective. I'm using it for my dog's warts in his mouth. I read in some of the reviews that people just wiped the extract on the wart (even in the mouth) with a cotton ball. I tried this strategy and it's worked well. I can already see a reduction in size only after half a week. Warning, it smells strong and fast difficult to apply it to my dog.
