Warts

Ok, may be its time to stop blaming neighborhood resident toad and start looking toward your Prince or Princess Charming…

Warts are spread by various strains of the common papvaviruses, which don’t affect amphibians, only primates. They are so common that as much as 75% of our population either have them or will have them sometime in their life. In fact, after acne, warts are the most common dermatologic complaint. Save your money and try following remedies:-

Crush aspirin and apply it to the wart, and then wrap it in cellophane tape or any other tape that won’t allow air in. The important thing is not to use Band-Aid or anything that allows air in. You want the skin to get “pruny” underneath, so that the aspirin is absorbed. Leave it for a couple of days, then take the bandage off for a day and repeat few times until wart disappears. Don’t use this method if you are allergic or sensitive to aspirin.

Another trusted old method is a daily application of the liquid from a vitamin A. A capsule (25,000 international units) helps some people see improvement after several days – just open capsule and squeeze the contents directly onto the wart. The vitamin A should be applied only to the skin, since excess oral doses can be toxic.

If you have warts, consider strengthening your immune system, being of viral origin it would help your system to take course of Olive Leaf extract or Echinacea herbal treatments to get rid of this persistent virus. Also including fruit and vegetables rich in beta carotene (Vitamin A) in your diet in natural form will eliminate warts forever
