Warts are uncontrolled
growth of lesions on the skin and are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus
(HPV). Despite the fact that they can affect any body part, they are most
commonly found on hands and feet. The most frequent warts encountered are flat
warts, genital warts and plantar warts. Warts are a regular skin infection and
they eventually go away on their own. They take sufficient time to grow and can
be easily detected. But if ignored persistently, they can turn cancerous.
Around 70% of all cervical cancers are caused by HPV.
There are various
methods to care for a warts. A person may choose over-the-counter treatment or
professional surgical removal. Besides these modern age treatments, natural
cures for warts are undoubtedly available. People prefer pure and natural
ingredients to professional treatments. The reason why behind this is actually
the steep fees for a surgical treatment and of course the fear of scars left
after incision. Also, surgical treatment will possibly be repeated in case the
warts re appears haunt again. These reasons tip the scale in favour of home
remedies.
Someone who experiencing
a good body's defense system can definitely resist HPV infection. So, proper
diet which strengthens the immune system has got to be followed. Vitamin C rich
foods like oranges, citrus fruits and spinach are advised to patients. Besides
vitamin C rich foods, other food products are also considered to help cure
warts. Diet filled with mushrooms (Reishi, Maitake and Shiitake) and Aloe Vera
extracts can also be prescribed by dieticians.
A few methods of natural
wart removal have been listed below:
Apple-Cider Vinegar
treatment:
It is the most widely
used and inexpensive treatment for common and flat warts. The acidic content of
the vinegar actually helps to remove the wart. The vinegar is soaked in the
skin surrounding the wart and due to acid, the skin gradually peels off. This
treatment should not be used for genital warts as they are sexually transmitted
and should be treated by a doctor.
This method can be used
in two ways. The first is to mix some vinegar in a cup of warm water and then
apply gently on the warts affected area. The warts will disappear slowly but
its application might cause irritation on the skin. The second method involves
applying the mixture of vinegar and warm water for a longer period of time,
usually overnight. This treatment takes time and must be continued until the
wart peels off by itself.
Lemon/lime juice
Treatment:
Lemon juice is also
highly acidic in nature. The application method is similar to the apple cider
vinegar method. You can soak a cotton ball in lime water and then apply it
overnight on wart. This is a slow process and must be done for weeks until the
wart can fade away itself.
Chinese Herbs:
Natural Chinese herbs
(2) like Zi Su Ye, Jin Yin Hua and Ban Lan Gen are also effective in treating
warts. Paste of these herbs is applied on the warts for some time during the
day. Regular treatment can get rid of the wart. Though, more studies on its effectiveness
are currently underway.
Waterproof Tape:
This remedy may not be
purely natural but can be easily used at home. The idea behind this treatment
is to cut off oxygen supply to the virus and the wart will die itself. A
waterproof tape or a duct tape can be used to cover the affected area. Seal the
area properly and cut off all the air supply to the wart. This method must be
used for minor warts as it takes months to treat warts.
These unconventional
treatments are inexpensive and can be performed at home. As a alternative treatment for warts instead of over the counter and surgical treatment, one should definitely give
these natural remedies a try.
