Natural Ways to Get Rid of Warts at Home
Warts are a common skin issue caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). While they’re generally harmless, they can be annoying and persistent. If you’re looking for natural ways to remove warts without turning to over-the-counter treatments, here are some home remedies that many people swear by. Just keep in mind that results can vary and may take time.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Why it helps: Apple cider vinegar contains acetic acid, which may help break down the wart’s tough outer layer. It also has antiviral properties that could target the root cause of the wart.
How to use: Soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar and place it directly on the wart. Secure it with a bandage and leave it overnight. Rinse the area in the morning. Repeat daily until the wart starts to shrink.
Garlic
Why it helps: Garlic has powerful antiviral and antibacterial effects that may help fight off the virus responsible for warts.
How to use: Crush a clove of fresh garlic and apply it to the wart. Cover with a bandage and leave it for a few hours before washing off. Repeat daily for up to two weeks.
Banana Peel
Why it helps: The inside of a banana peel contains enzymes and antioxidants believed to help dissolve warts over time.
How to use: Rub the inside of a banana peel over the wart before bed. Tape or bandage the peel in place and leave it overnight.
