I have cured three warts with thuja essential oil. I put some drops on cotton and then secure it with tape for woods over the wart overnight. DO NOT DO THIS WITH GARLIC. With garlic it can burn you deeply while you are sleeping and leave a scar but with thuja only some redness will be around thw wart. My last wart withered in one day and one third came off in my fingers the first day. It is better to file the wart a little (not bleed it) before first application and maybe sometimes later if it doesn't go away in one week.

The other two wart were at my index finger and needed weeks to vanish completely. Finally it left no scar at all.

The bad thing is that I've used thuja for big moles for months and they it didn't succeed. Just withered a little.

I'd like to correct my previous post and write that if you put thuja oil overnight at sensitive areas the second or third day you can get a burn and pus. So only for just one night and then without cotton or bondage it might be better.

Finally it was my mistake that I didn't succeed with thuja at moles. I didn't put cotton and tape over it so the essential oil of thuja just evaporated without cotton.

In about 10 days, my mole of about a big corn kernel, has withered completely.

Thuja for Warts.

Anchor Note: Thuja is a genus of coniferous tree or shrub in the Cupressaceae (cypress family). They are widely grown as ornamental trees. In the 19th century, Thuja was commonly used as an externally applied tincture or ointment for the treatment of warts, ringworm and thrush, and a local injection of the tincture was used for treating venereal warts.

The Spatula, Volume 23, p. 168. 1916

Make a strong tincture from the leaves and shoots of Thuja Occidentalis nat ord Coniferæ, using 90% alcohol as a menstrum, in the proportion of 1:10. The resulting tincture is painted on the wart frequently.
