 Houttuynia cordata is also a folk remedy used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat mouse moles .
 Use Eclipta prostrata to treat mouse moles. Some can fall off after one rub, while others need to be rubbed multiple times. After rubbing the mouse moles, the next day, you will find that some of the mouse moles have shrunk and some have cracked. This is a sign of effectiveness. If you persist in rubbing, it will definitely fall off.
 There are male and female rat moles. Male rat moles will not replicate. Female rat moles will continue to grow their "children" along a certain dark line. It is really ugly to have a lot of moles here and there on the skin. We don't know what dark line this is. But what's interesting is that as long as the female mole is treated, the others will fall off. One of my relatives had a mole on his thigh, and later more than ten grew on his calf. He split a raw tung nut in half and tied it to the female mole with a bandage. After a few days, the female mole fell off. A few days later, all the moles on the calf disappeared.
