The top 3 natural wart remedies

The top 3 natural wart remedies


Warts like cold sores are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) they are extremely common across the globe and in most cases easily treated with conventional medicine, but what if you don’t like the idea of burning of your wart using harsh abrasive chemicals? In fact, there are a wide range of natural remedies that have traditionally been used to treat warts some of which proving to be highly effective.

Apple Cider Vinegar:  

It seems there are very few problems in life that can’t be solved with a bottle of high quality raw ACV. Perhaps the most famous of all natural wart treatments, apple cider vinegar is a powerful acidic liquid that can break down the walls of the wart.

What will I need to treat my wart using ACV?

  • Cotton buds
  • Surgical tape
  • High quality raw ACV

Step 1: The first thing you need to do is soak a cotton bud in your raw apple cider vinegar, make sure to squeeze out any excess vinegar after it’s been soaked.

Step 2: Apply the cotton bud to the wart and attach using surgical tape, make sure to secure tightly as we need to keep the bond between the cotton pad and the wart at all times.

Step 3: Repeat steps 1 & 2 each day for 1 – 2 weeks, you will notice at first your wart will turn black (this is normal do not worry) After around a week  the structure of the wart to break down until it completely drops off. A small hole will be left where the wart once was, this is fine and will heal by its self once exposed to air for a few days.

Be sure to only use raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar as some types of vinegar can burn the skin and leave lasting damage.

Vitamin C for warts

Not only can Vitamin C destroy your wart, but it’s thought this mighty vitamin can even help to remove the virus that caused it in the first place.

What will I need to treat my wart with Vitamin C

  • A packet of vitamin C tablets
  • A pestle and mortar or pill crushing device of some description
  • Fresh lemon juice
  • Surgical tape

Step 1: Take one of your vitamin C tablets and add it to your mortar, crush the tablet until it forms a fine powder.

Step 2: Next we want to make the power into a paste, this is done by adding a little lemon juice.

Step 3: Now we need to apply the paste to the wart, try to avoid getting this on to healthy areas of skin. Once the wart is covered use surgical tape to keep mixture in place.

Step 4: Repeat steps 1 – 3 everyday for 1 – 2 weeks, in a similar manor to apple cider vinegar over the first week you will see the wart darken and slowly break down. If your wart hasn’t gone after two weeks we advise looking into other options.

Tip:  To avoid having to crush vitamin C pills which can be both time consuming and tricky it’ possible to buy high quality vitamin C in powdered form.

Manuka honey

Native to New Zealand, Manuka honey is the most powerful antiviral honey known to man, unlike many other forms of honey Manuka is extremely stable meaning it can cope well with fluctuations in temperature without loosing any of its healing benefits.

What will I need to treat my wart with Manuka honey?

  • Raw Manuka honey
  • Bandage
  • Surgical tape

Step 1: Cover the whole wart in honey; it does not matter if honey gets on to your healthy skin.

Step 2: Use a bandage to cover the honey and keep it in place. Be sure to make sure this is attached well as we want to make an air tight bond between the wart and Manuka honey.

Step 3: Repeat steps 1 & 2 every day for around a week


That’s it you are now ready to tackle even the most challenging of warts with ease, If you have found these remedies useful or have any questions please drop us a comment below.

Apple Cider Vinegar - How To Naturally Cure Warts

Apple cider vinegar has been touted as a safe alternative cure for many things. It even has use in removal of plantar warts. It can even be used in conjunction with duct tape therapy. To treat your plantar wart with apple cider vinegar, simply soak a gauze pad in the vinegar and tape the pad over the plantar wart. Make sure you use a fresh pad daily. The wart will eventually turn hard and black. Use a pumice stone or emery board to help facilitate the process. 

heel pain relief can occur in either gender of any age. It is commonly, but not always, associated with rapid weight gain. Athletes, especially runners also seem to experience plantar fasciitis more than the general population, most likely due to the repetitive nature of sports that can damage the tis-sue in the foot. People with high arches or flat feet also have an increased risk of developing this painful condition. People with flat feet may have poor shock absorption, which increases the stretch and strain on the plantar fascia. People with highly arched feet have tighter plantar tissue, which also leads to poor shock absorption. 

Plantar warts are the result of an infection. You can come into contact with the human papilloma virus from walking on wet surfaces. If you visit a public swimming pool, it is a good idea to wear swim shoes to protect your feet from contact with the wet walking area around the pool. Students who use the showers at school should wear a protective foot covering (flip flops or swim shoes) to prevent contact with the human papilloma virus and fungi which can cause skin diseases of the feet. Viruses can live for months without a host, making them very transmittable. 


Minor surgery involves surgical removal of the wart tissues or destroying them with the help of the processes such as curettement or electrodesiccation. Although there is a chance for scars to be left behind, this method is pretty effective. 

Cantharidin Doctors and healers have used cantharidin + a substance extracted from the blister beetle + to treat warts for centuries. Today, this therapy is sometimes paired with salicylic acid. Your doctor paints this beetle juice onto your wart and covers it with clear tape. The application is painless, but it causes the skin under the wart to blister, liftingthe wart off the skin. Your doctor can then clip away the dead part of the wart in about a week. However, some doctors are hesitant to use cantharidin because it's not approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of warts. 

The main goal of treatment is to find a way to help an affected heel absorb shock. The best way to do this is to give the heel with cushioning and elevation. This helps to divert pressure away from the plantar fascia. Special shoe inserts known as Orthotics are highly recommended for treatment. They are designed to absorb shock, elevate the back of the foot, and cradle the heel. 

Ligaments connect bone to bone. Tendons connect ligaments to muscles. The contraction and expansion, relaxation of the muscles tightens and loosens the tendons, which in turn, move the bones. 

Some of the reasons that may convince you to seek plantar wart treatment are if the warts are painful and spreading fast to other parts of your body. You should also prepare yourself how to handle the treatment. Consider the costs you may expend depending on the wart treatment you would use. Assess your pain threshold as some treatments are really painful especially for excessive plantar wart growth.
