Warts are small bumps that generally occur on the fingers, toes, knees, or elbows. They generally occur most often during childhood or adolescence. They are caused by one of the 70+ different HPV virus types. Warts can often disappear over time without treatment but for some people they are chronic and can last for years.
Different types of warts include:
Common warts – often appear on the hands, but can grow anywhere. Flat warts are generally found on the face and forehead. They are common in children. They are less common in teens, and rare in adults.
Genital warts – (condyloma) – usually found on the genitals, in the pubic area, and in the area between the thighs. They can also appear inside the vagina and anal canal.
Plantar warts – found on the soles of the feet. They can be very painful. Many of them on the foot may cause problems walking or running.
Subungual and periungual warts – appear under and around the fingernails or toenails.
When you begin treating a wart be aware that depending on the size and type it is, it can take weeks to get rid of – sometimes months. If you experience progress with a treatment, keep at it and be patient.
Plenty of times a wart will just disappear on its own (as your body builds up immunity against the virus). You can read the most common natural remedies below.
The natural remedy we most recommend is Wart Control.
Before applying a remedy, wash wart area clean with soap and water then pat dry with a clean towel. Also wash hands with soap and water before handling remedy and touching the wart.
Wash hands again after applying treatment to prevent further infection.

Wart Soaks
Soaking the warts daily in treated baths will help soften them and help the warts respond to treatment. Can also help fight the virus and prevent infection.
Soaking treatments are also worthwhile doing before sloughing the skin with an emery board or pumice stone. Soak wart daily in a warm bath of baking soda and water.
1. Soak wart daily in a hot bath of Epsom salt and water.
2. Soak wart in very hot water until it becomes lukewarm (do this daily, don’t have the water so hot it burns you though). Plain hot water is fine but you can also add some vinegar.

Beef up your immunity system so your body can fight the wart virus internally. Here are a few suggested immunity boosters I have on hand that are recommended for fighting warts.
1. Cabbage:Eat a lot of fresh, raw cabbage each day.

4. Broccoli:Eat fresh, raw broccoli daily.
5. Oranges:Eat an orange once a day.
6. Bananas:Good for potassium, eat one a day to fight warts.
