Natural treatment for warts.
Here is an extract from Get rid of Warts E-Book.
Mosaic Warts
There are plenty of different natural home treatment for warts that people use every day to get rid of warts. However, not every wart removal method will be as effective for everyone because every individual reacts differently to various treatment methods.
However, some or all of the following entirely natural wart treatments might work for you, and there is definitely no harm in trying to use any or all of these natural treatment strategies before turning to pharmaceutical drug–based wart treatments.
The first natural treatment for warts is the duct tape method
It is generally believed that using duct tape to get rid of warts is effective in up to 80% of cases, so as strange as it may sound, it is definitely worth trying duct tape as your first wart removal option of choice.
The method involves nothing more than placing a small piece of duct tape on the wart, thus sealing the wart in an airless ‘tomb’. Whether it is this ability to seal the wart (denying it the ability to ‘breathe’) that makes it effective or whether there is some acid in the adhesive used on this particular type of tape that kills the wart is still open to debate, but the fact is, it works.
In fact, when this method of getting rid of warts was the first posited by Dr Anthony J. Mancini (head of dermatology at the Children’s Memorial Hospital in Chicago), it was discovered that it was (and still is) every bit as effective as far more expensive treatment methods such as cryotherapy, so it is definitely worth trying.
Using duct tape, you cover the wart with tape and leave it covered (replace the tape as necessary) for six or seven days, after which time you should start to see some results.
Whether there is any evidence of progress after this time period or not, you should remove the tape and soak the wart so that it becomes soft and malleable. You should apply a pumice stone or an emery board to scrub or scratch off the upper levels of the wart. After this, you reapply the tape for another week and do the same again.
Removing a wart using the duct tape method can take several weeks, but it is extremely popular because it is simple, cheap and entirely natural.
However, because it is possible for your body to get rid of a wart in the time it takes for the duct tape method to be effective, it can be a little difficult to know for sure whether it is your body’s natural reaction or the duct tape that removes the wart. Nevertheless, because as many as four out of every five people who use this method of removal can find it effective, it is certainly worth giving a go.
Conclusion
If you have a problem with warts, you have now seen that there are many things that you can do to get rid of your problem entirely naturally. While all of these skin problems can be dealt with medically, getting rid of them your self in the comfort of your own home is preferable to seeking medical attention.
The other important thing about a natural treatment for warts you have read of in this book is that none of them have any possible side-effects.
Nor do they have any significant downsides, apart from the fact that natural wart, treatment methods might take a little longer to be effective. The flip side of this is that using only natural treatments ensures that there is absolutely no risk of further collateral skin damage such as scarring.
This is particularly important, because in the majority of cases, the warts that people most want to get rid of are those that are the most visible, such as those on the face. Clearly, no-one would voluntarily choose a method of getting rid of one problem only to replace it with another of equal magnitude and severity (e.g. scarring), so using natural treatments like Amoils or one of the other methods mentioned has got to be the hands down winner.
Which ever method you use I wish you every success.
Do I need to treat my warts?
In most cases it is best to remove your warts. Common warts can be unsightly and embarrassing especially if they are on your face.
If they are knocked they can cause pain and even bleed which can cause them to spread.
An effective treatment for warts can decrease the possibility of the warts spreading to other areas.
Prevention:
The main line of defence is not to come into contact with the virus which is spread by physical contact. If a family member has warts they should have there own towel and other toiletries. Never share clothing especially shoes, socks, hats, gloves, underwear etc. When in public swimming pools, changing rooms and showers try to wear foot protection like flip flops.
