It is likely that most of what you have heard about warts is actually not true. They are quite safe. Even the tidiest person can get one, two or three warts. Better to learn about simple home remedies to help you fight warts.
Warts are benign growths on the skin that usually appear on the hands, elbows, and knees. They appear when the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) enters the top layer of the skin - the epidermis, often through cuts or scrapes. Children are generally more prone to developing warts than adults (a young and not yet strong immune system may be the reason), and yet they can appear at any age and, what is most annoying, they are quite difficult to get rid of. But, as you know, nothing is impossible, especially with these home remedies, which we invite you to familiarize yourself with.
1. Powdered yeast
Mix yeast powder with castor oil until a smooth paste is formed, then apply the mixture to the wart and leave it overnight. Better to bandage the wart with a bandage. Remove the bandage the next morning and repeat the procedure if necessary.
2. Baking soda
You can also try wetting the wart with baking soda. Dissolve the baking soda in the water and rinse the wart on your hands or feet. Wait for the baking soda water to dry naturally and repeat this again until the wart disappears.
3. Diet
Your diet can influence and trigger the appearance of warts. Eat foods that boost your immune system, such as garlic, sweet potatoes, whole grain breads, sunflower seeds, and rice.
4. Garlic
Garlic contains two main elements that are responsible for your body's health: allicin and diallyl disulfide.
Apply minced garlic or onions to the wart, or simply eat fresh garlic. If you don't want to smell like Italian food, try swallowing 3 cloves of garlic three times a day, or chewing parsley to freshen your breath after garlic.
5. Hot water
Research has shown that immersing a wart in very hot water is beneficial because hot water smooths out the warts and can kill the virus. Just make sure the water is not too hot to avoid scalding.
6. Vitamin C
Crush a vitamin C tablet and add a little water to make a thick paste. Apply the paste to the wart and bandage it. Vitamin C may tingle slightly, which will help the wart disappear more quickly.
7. Vitamin E
Break open a vitamin E pill or capsule, apply a little oil to the wart and tie with an adhesive bandage. Repeat this procedure three times a day. Be sure to remove the dressing at night so that the affected area can breathe and start the next day with Vitamin E oil.
8. Castor oil
The acids found in castor oil are effectively used to remove warts. Castor oil works well for small, flat warts on the inside of the arm. Apply castor oil to the wart with a cotton swab twice a day.
9. Carrots
Finely grate the carrots and add enough olive oil to make a paste. Apply the paste to the wart twice a day for two to three weeks, holding for about 30 minutes.
10. Lemon juice
Treat the wart with fresh lemon juice, then place finely chopped onions on top of the wart and keep it on for 30 minutes once a day. Treatment should be continued for two to three months for best results.
11. Aloe Vera
Aloe vera can also be a great solution for warts. Apply the pulp of the leaves to the affected area with a cotton swab and bandage it with a bandage. Repeat this procedure every day until the wart disappears.
