I would like to give an update on the garlic and red wine vinegar treatment for genital warts. Shortly after posting, all the warts were completely gone by the end of 2 weeks. I have also gone to my gyn for a follow up and i was told that my pap smear was normal and that I did not have HPV anymore. I was advised to make sure I get an exam every 6 month. I also shared with my gyn how I used natural remedies to get the warts off and she was impressed! View Entire Thread

Red Wine Vinegar and Garlic cured my genital warts. I recently discovered bumps around my vagina and thought they were pimples, but when they didn't go away for 3 weeks, I went to my doctor and was told I had genital warts (HPV). I was devasted. I felt nasty and dirty. I was actually crying in the office. My doctor gave me a perscription for Aldara cream. The medicine had so many side effects. I used the medicine for one night and to my surprise, I discovered MORE WARTS spreading....that was one of the side effects listed on the instruction sheet! After searching online, I read on this site about garlic and apple cider vinegar for genital warts and wanted to give it a try. I started off by doing a cleaning of red wine vinegar every time I went to the bathroom, dabbing each wart with a q-tip or cotton ball... it stings like crazy... but afterwards if feels like it's working. I washed my vagina 2-3 times a day with "neem"(a healing plant from india) soap. I also bought a bottle of liquid garlic, I puntured one capsule and applied the liquid garlic on each wart before bed. I also began taking 3 capsules of liquid garlic in the morning and 3 before bed (6 a day). By the fourth day, the warts were extremely small. My confidence in these remedies are soaring and I am continueing on this regime until I am healed. For added bonus, I have also applied the essential oil Tea tree oil to each wart at least 3x's a day with a q-tip (3 drops on the q-tip). I was careful to keep my hands and nails very clean while treating myself. For the future I plan to share these remedies with my doctor and I plan to practice safer sex with my life partner.
