Natural Treatment For Warts

Treatment of warts can be accomplished with one of the following natural remedies:

* Crush or grate a garlic clove and apply it directly on the affected area. Take care to avoid the surrounding skin. Cover affected area with a bandage and leave in place for 24 hours. Blisters should develop, and the wart should fall off after a week.

* Make a paste from baking soda and castor oil and apply to the wart. Apply the paste every night and cover with a bandage. The wart may disappear in 3-6 weeks.

* Put the inner side of a fresh banana skin against the wart, holding it in place with a bandage. Replace banana skin every day until the wart disappears.

* If you have a willow tree nearby, get a piece of bark and tape the moist inner side to the wart. Replace bark daily. Willow has large amounts of salicylic acid, which is often used for wart treatment.

For treatment of plantar warts, cut a square of pineapple peel and tape the inner side to plantar warts. Proteolytic enzymes in pineapple help dissolve warts. Hence, as far as possible, keep the peel on overnight. In the morning, after removing the peel, soak your foot in hot water and file down any peeling skin. You can repeat this treatment of plantar warts nightly, as necessary.
