Using Herbs to Treat
Warts.
If you were to
ask a medical professional they would tell you that
warts are a form of benign tumor that affects the
epidermal layer. They would tell you that warts are
caused by a virus called human papillomavirus, a double
stranded DNA virus. They would say that some warts, if
given enough time, will go away on their own, and that
other warts won't. They will tell you that warts can
affect any part of the body that has skin, including the
inside of your mouth.
The
reality is that most of us don't care what a wart is.
The only thing we care about is that we have one, that
it's ugly, and that we want it gone.
Traditionally the best way to remove
warts was to go to the doctor's office and have them
freeze the warts off. This treatment seemed to be fairly
affective although some particularly stubborn wars would
require repeat treatments. Now there are herbs and
herbal remedies we can use to save ourselves that trip
to the doctors.
Garlic is one of the herbs that can help
eliminate warts. All you have to do is cut a slice from
the garlic lobe. Use a band-aid to fasten the slice of
garlic onto the wart. Wear the piece of garlic
overnight. The reason the garlic works is because it has
antifungal, antiviral, and antibacterial properties.
There have been studies done that show a liquid extract
made from garlic is another successful way to deal with
the unsightly warts.
If
you like the idea of using a food commonly used in the
kitchen to cure your warts but aren't crazy about
smelling like garlic you may want to turn to bananas.
People with warts have been able treat their warts by
rubbing the inside of a banana peel against the wart.
Rubbing the juice from a plant called
Celandine is another herbal remedy that can be used to
treat warts. When using Celandine exercise caution, the
juice is toxic.
Tea
Tree is another herb that will help deal with
warts. |
