Natural Treatments for Warts

There are several different ways you can remove warts from your skin right in your own home. These are remedies that can be a big help without the agony of removing them through surgical treatments or even applying acidic compounds. Warts are caused by viral infections and can show up just about anywhere on your body, including the soles of your feet.

Here are some simple treatments for removing these annoying skin infections.

Remedy # 1
Soak the wart in warm water for about 15 to 25 minutes and towel dry. The water will soften up the wart for the next step. When the soaked wart is dry, apply vinegar, preferably apple cider vinegar, to the wart using a cotton ball then leave it for about 15 minutes. Wash off the vinegar with clean water then dry it.

Remedy # 2
Dissolve an aspirin in a very small amount of water then apply the solution on the wart. After applying the aspirin solution, cover the area with a bandage. Repeat this procedure at least twice a day; upon waking up and before going to bed are probably the most convenient times.

Remedy # 3
Dissolve baking soda in some water, and rub the solution on the wart at least three to four times every day. You can also use gauze that is soaked with a mixture of castor oil and baking soda and apply it to the wart. To keep out dirt and other particles, cover it with a bandage then leave it in place for the night.

Remedy # 4
In order to get rid of ugly plantar warts, you can do it naturally by applying the pulp of a ripe banana or even a raw banana peel on the wart. Then, to avoid being in contact with any foreign substances, cover it with a clean cloth or bandage. Remove the application only when you are going to take a bath. Do the procedure daily for a couple of months.

Remedy # 5
For warts that are years old, the best suggestion is to apply chewed cashew on the wart. Do this for a couple of days. You’ll notice that the wart disappears after about three to four weeks.

Remedy # 6
A dandelion stem can also be helpful in getting rid of warts. Rub the stem on the wart two to three times every day until the wart is completely gone, which should be in about three to four weeks.

Remedy # 7
Crushed garlic is also an effective remedy that can be rubbed on the wart three times a day until it disappears in three weeks to a month. Mash a garlic glove so that it becomes moist and pulpy. You should start to see some effects within a day or two.

These procedures are only few natural treatments that can be an effective cure for warts.
