Most of what you have heard about warts is probably not true. They are quite safe. Even the most tidy person can have one, two, or three warts. It is better to learn about simple home remedies that will 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 papillomavirus (HPV) enters the upper layer of the skin, the epidermis, often through cuts or scrapes. In general, children are more prone to developing warts than adults (the cause can be a young and not yet strong immune system) and yet they can appear at any age and, what is more annoying, they are quite difficult toremove. But, as you know, nothing is impossible, especially with these home remedies, with which we invite you to familiarize yourself.
1. Baking powder
Mix baking powder with castor oil until a smooth paste forms, then apply the mixture to the wart and leave it overnight. It is better to bandage the wart with a bandage. Remove the bandage the next morning and repeat the procedure if necessary.
2. Sodium bicarbonate
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 is gone.
3. Diet
Your diet can influence and cause the appearance of warts. Eat foods that strengthen 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 the health of your body: allicin and diallyl disulfide.
Apply minced garlic or onion to the wart, or just eat fresh garlic. If you don't want to smell like Italian food, try swallowing 3 cloves of garlic thrice a day or chew parsley to freshen your breath after garlic.
5. Hot water
Research has shown that soaking a wart in very hot water is beneficial because the hot water will soften the warts and can kill the virus. Just make sure the water isn't too hot to avoid burns.
6. Vitamin C
Crush a vitamin C tablet and add a little water to make a thick paste. Apply the paste on the wart and bandage it. Vitamin C can cause mild tingling, which will help the wart go away more quickly.
7. Vitamin E
Open a vitamin E pill or capsule, apply some oil to the wart and tie it with an adhesive bandage. Repeat this procedure three times a day. Make sure to remove the dressing at night so the affected area can breathe and start the next day with vitamin E oil.
8. Castor oil
The acids found in castor oil are used effectively 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 on the wart twice a day for two to three weeks, holding it for about 30 minutes.
10. Lemon juice
Treat the wart with fresh lemon juice, then place the finely chopped onion on top of the wart and leave 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 is gone.
