Natural and Scientific Way of getting Rid of Warts

Warts are harmless whitish skin growth with uneven surfaces that are caused by human papillomavirus infections. They universally appear on the face, genitals, and hands.

There a number of natural ways on how we can get purged of this obstinate skin problem. Check out below for the list.

Papaya

Papaya contains an enzyme that digests dead tissues and this can be helpful in getting rid of warts. Have shallow cuts on the surface of an unripe papaya. Collect the sap that runs out and let it coagulate. Mix the thickened sap with water, then apply it on the wart in the morning and night.

Orange Peel

This inexpensive remedy will require us to rub an orange peel on the wart once a day. Doing this for two or more weeks will change the color and darken the wart and then make them fall off.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar possesses antimicrobial properties that help fight human papillomavirus infections. To take advantage of its benefit, we need to mix 2-parts apple cider vinegar and 1-part water. Soak a cotton ball in this mixture and place it on the wart, cover with a bandage, and leave it on for three to four hours.

 Turmeric

Curcumin, the active compound present in turmeric, has antiviral effects that can help get rid of warts which are caused by a virus. We simply need to apply powdered or fresh turmeric root on warts and then cover it with a bandage.

Garlic

Garlic has antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties that work against infections such as warts. In a 2014 study, garlic extract got rid of warts within four weeks and also prevented it from coming back. This effect was mainly attributed to its allicin content.

Crush up 1 garlic clove and mix it with water. Apply to the wart and cover it with a bandage. Repeat daily for three to four weeks. Another method of using garlic against warts is by applying its juice or rubbing a clove on the wart.
