How to Remove and Heal Warts Safely and Naturally
Having warts, no matter what the size or where the warts are located, is always less than pleasant. Warts can appear almost anywhere on the body and they can take a very long time to go away without treatment, sometimes up to two years. Many common warts, such as plantar warts and flat warts, are caused by an underlying, incurable virus called human papillomavirus (HPV).
HPV can cause outbreaks of warts in various parts of the body and at different times. It is also the underlying cause of genital warts, which is a sexually transmitted disease (STD). The virus can lay dormant for a while and then suddenly be triggered by a weakened immune system and cause an outbreak. Besides HPV, there are other types of warts called molluscs, which are caused by molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV). These are bumps most often found in children and are highly contagious.
For years, wart sufferers have dealt with this problem in a number of different ways. Warts can be frozen off, burned with acids, or surgically removed. But today, more and more people are choosing natural alternatives to remove and heal their warts. There are now essential oils and special wart removal formulas that enable natural, safe removal of a wart.
Why Go With Natural Wart Healing?
Natural wart healing and removal offers a few very amazing benefits. Probably one of the greatest benefits is that many natural remedies can permanently remove the warts, and they won’t grow back later. With freezing, burning, or cutting the wart, there’s always a great risk that it will grow back. Why is this? Warts should be drawn out from the root upwards. When warts are drawn out from the root, they flake away and will not grow back. Another benefit is the natural methods can be performed at home. Also, you will save money on doctor visits and medical procedures.
Wart Removal Products
There are a number of wart removal products available online. Look for products that contain an effective formula using essential oils such as tea tree oils or plant oils that are anti-viral and can stop warts at the root and heal the warts gently. Look for essential oil formulas that are 100 percent pure and natural, organic, without the use of pesticides and harmful fertilizers. Wart removal oils are rubbed directly onto the wart over a period of days and usually cause no pain while the wart is being dissolved.
It is especially important to choose a gentle method of wart removal and healing if you have genital warts. Genital warts appear in very sensitive areas of the body, and you should take care not to apply harmful chemicals to the warts in these areas. Other natural remedies believed to help warts include garlic, vitamin E oil, and supplements with vitamins A and C (to strengthen immunity) during the wart removal and healing process.
If you have been infected with a wart virus, consult with a doctor about the best methods for removal and do research online to find essential oils that are right for you. Also, take steps to strengthen your body’s immune system. This can help prevent future outbreaks.
