Combat Warts Naturally: Top Remedies Ranked for Effectiveness

My 7 yr old daughter has had embarrasing warts in the past and has had them burned off at the doctors office. I tried applying apple cider vinegar directly to the wart covered in a bandaid and the wart literally fell off in about 4 days. I used the cotton from the end of a q-tip and soaked it in apple cider vinegar then put in on the wart with a bandaid to hold it in place. I changed it everyday for 4 days until the wart fell off. I have heard it can take up to a week. It is the most painless way to get rid of those embarrasing warts. I hope this helps anyone because I have tried everything to the expensive doctor visits and this is by far the best remedy for those hard to remove warts.

I had a small wart on the palm of my hand for years. I didn't even know what it was for a long time - at first I thought it was a callous. Once I figured out it was a wart, I kept picking at it, but it would come back. I never took it seriously because it didn't really bother me, but eventually it just bugged me that it wouldn't go away!

I tried the vinegar approach. I only had white vinegar at home when I first tried it, so I used that, and later switched to apple cider vinegar. I don't think it matters which you use.

I dipped a small piece of cotton in vinegar, then put it on the wart with a band-aid covering overnight. The wart soaked up the vinegar, swelled and turned white. The skin around it turned red. And my hand was very sore - it hurt more than I would have expected, though it was not unbearable.

I did that every night possible for a couple of weeks, and sometimes put a drop or two of vinegar on a band-aid and wore that during the day, too. There were some days and nights, though, when I was out of town and couldn't do the vinegar procedure, so maybe that made the process take longer. After the first 10 days or so, I was able to peel off most of the wart after soaking in warm water for about 10 minutes.

I kept doing the vinegar/band-aid thing, and at the end of two weeks, maybe a couple days more, I soaked again in warm water and peeled off the entire wart. It left a small hole in my palm where the wart had been, and the skin around it was dry and flakey, but all that healed after a few days and now you can't tell there had ever been anything there at all.

Like I said, the wart wasn't a big deal, but it really annoyed me that it existed, so I'm thrilled that I beat the darned thing!!

I removed a wart with Salicycle Acid found over-the-counter at any drug store. The problem is that the acid creates a callous over the wart so one must continually wear down the callous and wart using a callous file or pumous stone before each acid application 3 or 4 times per day. Use the stone or file wet before each acid application. Eventaully, one will arrive at the root of the wart but continue the applications for another few days until there is no sign of the wart and there is no pain when you apply pressure to the area. It took me about 1 week to become wart free.

A few years ago i was working in forestry picking up wood anyway i ended up with heaps of warts on my hands (they call it working hands) i remembered my old family cure for warts which was to rub the slimy part of a snail over the wart. you only should need to do this once and they should be gone within 1-7 days. im pretty sure they were gone the next day this was years ago and they havent grown back sometimes it can be pretty hard to find a snail but if you check the grass on a wet night (easier to find in the country) you should be able to find some hope this helps

This is unbelievable, but I've had as awful wart on my cheek for 14 years!! I actually didn't know what it was for quite sometime, because I was so used to it. I tried Red Wine Vinegar on a cottonball, left it on for 10 hours, and it's already black and shriveled!! Only after 1 day! I'm in shock! It's totally on the outs!!!

I have had quite a few warts throughout my life and have undergone the carious methods of removing them (freezing at the doctor's office, freezing at home, the acid drops, the acid band aids etc..) I have even gone to the extent of taking a wood burner and frying off one that was stubborn, but I finally got one that would not sucomb to any of these methods. I met a kid at a car detailing joint in Florida that told me Epsom salt cured all his warts so i figured I would give it a try. By this time this wart had gotten significantly bigger. It was now the size of a dime on the inside palm of my right hand. It was painful to do anything because it would split open and crack. heres the method I used. I bought a pint of Epsom salt which is very cheap and a paper nail file and a water dropper. I filed off all the dead skin so I could get to the seeds of the wart (just where it started to get sensitive and bleed a little bit) I would then take some of the epsom salt crystals and lay them on the wart. Take some warm water and use the dropper to apply to the salt crystals. The crystals dilute in the water and soak into the wart. After I let it soak for a few minutes I would clean up and leave a few crystals on the wart with a band aid over them to hold them in place. After only a few days doing this once a day I noticed it turning black like a scab sort of. Then I quit treatment shortly after that and it healed up perfectly no scar like the one I fried off with the wood burner and worked so quickly and cheaply. I thought about marketing this solution but after finding this site I figure it is good for people to know. As for the person with them on the bottom of their feet, perhaps you can sand the tops down and soak your feet in warm water with epsom salt diluted in it. Worth a shot. Good luck.

electrical tape > duct tape

How to be wart free in less than a week without the need to spend money!

1. Cover the wart with electrical tape
2. If you feel the need, use duct tape over top to secure everything a little bit better.
3. Every 24 hours or so remove the tape and check to see if there is any change. Your goal is to have it to start to turn black.
4. Soak your foot in hot water for about a half hour. This will cause your skin to retain water and become softer.
5. Using a nail clipper or tweasers cut off as much to the wart and the skin surrounding it as possible. You should be able to scrape off enough to make the wart flush with the rest of you skin at this point. This will not hurt other than the slight pain from the wart itself that you would feel regardless.
6. Re-apply the tape
7. Continue the process until your start to notice the wart to turn black. (even if its slightly black in one spot of the wart.) Smaller warts will turn black almost instantly.
8. Once you notice some black discoluration on the wart its time to show that thing whats up. Take your nail clippers or weapon of choice and start cutting away. You will notice that you are able to cut the black portion out with ease. This will allow you enough depth in the skin to cut the rest of the wart away even if it has not discolored yet. Once again this will not hurt at all as it is not healthy skin. (unless you cut too deep where you start to clip healthy tissue but dont let that scare you. You'll be fine)
9. Cover with tape one last time to ensure everything dies.
10. When you are satisfed remove the tape and allow the area to heal.

NOTE: The tape should stay on the wart at all times night and day. The only time the tape comes off is for your periodic checks every 24 hours.

I just did this with my wart which was about the size of a nickle. I just finished cutting it out (Step 8) Just waiting for it to heal now. Hope that helps.

I found this site (and numerous others) a few weeks ago when searching for a natural way to get rid of a wart (and clear up my chronic sinus issue, among other things). Within two weeks of starting ACV on my wart, it was completely gone. Just soak a small cotton ball, stick it on the wart with a bandage overnight and watch it work! Also, after drinking 2 tablespoons in a glass of apple juice every morning, my sinuses are much clearer, I'm no longer cold all the time, and I no longer have my usual afternoon sleepiness.

Right now I'm on day two trying the apple cider vinegar remedy. I've had a wart on my thumb for over a year now, it's getting bigger, and very very close to the nail. I've tried Vitamin E, freezing, tape, a ton of different things and nothing has worked.So far the wart has turned white, and kind of swollen, It hurts, but I hope this works. I'm desperate to get rid of this before prom!

tea tree, the fastest and most effective cure for common warts

I have used tea tree oil on warts with good results. I use full strength right out of the bottle. The trick is how much and how often to apply. Instead of a q-tip, one of those mini-screwdrivers (like in an eyeglasses repair kit) with a flat blade is a perfect applicator. Just dip in the tt oil and coat the wart only. This minimizes irritation of surrounding areas. I would apply every 2-3 days until resolved.

I have been on the ACV diet for a month and a half. i have lost some weight. I also have had warts on both hands for about 3 years, and a mole on my arm. Both have totally disappeared!

I had little warts on my hand for a few years and finally got sick of looking at them. After trying every alternative treatment that I could find I went to a dermatologist who told me that warts are caused by a virus which is usually fought off by a properly functioning immune system. After a few times of getting liquid nitrogen treatments to try to freeze them off with no luck, I read a book on cleansing and detoxifying and tried a couple of 24 hour water fasts, one per week on a Saturday. after the second fast I thought that I noticed a reduction in size of the warts so I did 2 more fast on the next 2 weekends. By the end of my 4th fast the warts were almost completely gone. I did not do any more fasting but my warts were completely gone in 2 more weeks.

I had fasted for a week, two years ago, and found that my health and energy improved significantly. Recently I had to give up work because my eczema flared up after coming off long term steroid treatment. I came off the treatment because my doctor told me to take a bone scan due to the prolonged steroid treatment. The scan revealed I had osteoporosis, worst in my spine at -3.9, which is quite serious. Since coming off the steroids I have been prescribed other medications to help relieve my asthma and eczema but they were very expensive and not as effective as the 'many for pennies' steroids. I remembered my fast of 2 years ago and decided to give it another go. My health improved to the point where my asthma and eczema were virtually gone by day 6 of the fast. But, what I also realised that my three year old verrucas had gone! I had developed at least a dozen on my left foot and 3 on my right foot, possibly from walking barefoot at the swimming-pool. Three visits to the doctor to get them 'frozen' and limping home with blisters, and a couple of weeks of topical applications had failed. They were so bad that I had pain when walking, and they even wore out my woolen slippers and socks prematurely. My fast was: no food for 7 days, and I only drank tap-water and diluted apple juice. I have an appointment to see an allergist but there is a 3 month waiting list. Please, before fasting check with your doctor to see that it would be safe for you, and learn how to fast, and break your fast properly. Good luck. Martin (Sidney, BC, Canada).

This may be posted in wrong area, but I have a strange cure for warts that worked for me. A math teacher of mine in my 10th grade year noticed I had them severely on my hands. By severe, I mean, dermatologists could not get rid of some by burning or freezing. She recommended I try Tums Antacids. I chewed 1 regular strength mint pill once a days before bedtime. In no longer than a month's time, my warts had simply ceased to exist. I had tried everything before, dermatologists, duct tape, liquids, but this method worked best for me. I will say, i do randomly have one spurt up from time to time, but I just start tums again, and away they go. So hope this helps.

Well i have this DISCUSTING wart on my arm, and so one day i was in the bathroom and so frustrated because i had a dance the next week that i started to FILE it down with a nail file. It wasn't painful and it irritated my skin for almost an hour. THEN i put hydrogen poroxide on it an WALA the wart turned black and fell off!!!!! what a relief so when i get my nails done, the person doing them won't have to look at that nasty thing! Warts are very embarrasing and my friends used to call me fungal bumps! ewww!

Hey, I like this remedy consideration... When I was a child living in rural area, I had this obcessive fasination with Frogs. At the end of Winter ponds would thaw with floating hibernating Frogs banking on the shore. I'd thaw them out, use them in Science Fair projects, watch them grow, & love them. Everyone said not to play with frogs because their "Pee" would grow Warts. AND I did have Warts all over my hands, & arms. I use to chew at them which drove everyone crazy. One weekend when I was visiting with one of my really cool aunts, she told me if I took a cotton thread in white & counted my Warts & add as many extra that you might think you missed, & tye that many knots in the thread. Bury it in the dirt & when the string roits your warts will be gone.....It worked for me, 8-9 years old. I've paid attention to "Voo Doo" remedies for years... Pretty interesting stuff. Good Luck!

Knotted String for Wart Removal - My grandmother had a similar remedy, and it was always successful: take off the string which is tied around a roast or other piece of meat, tie knots in the string - corresponding to the number of warts you have - rub the warts with the string, then bury or fling the string in a place where no one will ever find it. Don't know why that worked for Grandma and numerous children and grandchildren, but it did.

When I was a young teen, I had this huge wart on my knuckle for years. everytime I hit it on something it would bleed. One day while visiting my mother in law, she said to steal a washrag when no one was looking and bury it under a rock... Now I thought I had heard it all, but I tried it and within about two-three weeks the wart was gone.....I had tried for years to get rid of it and nothing worked....after the wart left I threw all the different medicines away....to this day I do not know how that worked but I do know it worked and even 50 years later I have never had another wart.
