Warts are ugly, bothersome bumps on the skin caused by a virus.  They generally disappear on their own, but it could take years.  If you’re the impatient type and would like to speed things up, find a home remedy for wart removal that works best for you.

Here are some ideas:

Duct Tape

It is probably the most popular home remedy for wart removal, if not the most controversial.   Although it may seem absurd, this is actually supported by a scientific study released in 2002, claiming that it is in fact an effective method in removing or eliminating warts.

To use the duct tape method, cut a small piece, big enough to cover the wart. Leave it on for five to six days.  After keeping it covered, remove the tape and soak the wart in warm water, then scrub it with a pumice stone or an emery board. If the wart does not come off, repeat the procedure again for another one to two weeks.

Aloe Vera

Another proven remedy is aloe vera.  It is best to soak a cotton ball in aloe, preferably the gel. After soaking for about a minute, tape the cotton ball to your wart.   You can add aloe vera to the wart or soak a cotton ball in aloe vera every few hours. By leaving the cotton ball in place, except for changing it everyday, the wart should come off in a matter of days.

Tea tree oil

This essential oil is an amazing antiseptic which can kill most bacteria, thereby making it an extremely potent home remedy for wart removal. This method has a very high rate of success, making it a popular choice.  Simply apply the tea tree oil directly on the wart everyday until it disappears.

Echinacea Pills

Echinacea was heavily used by Native American Indians as a cure-all wonder drug. It was the most popular herb in medical practice in the USA in the early 1900’s. To date, it is still one of the most prescribed herbal products the world over.

These pills are said to help the healing of mild skin infections which makes it also perfect for aiding in the elimination of warts. Just take a pill or two everyday as prescribed on the bottle.

Essential Lemon Oil

Because of its Vitamin C-rich quality, lemon oil is easily a popular home remedy for wart removal.  Just apply one drop of essential lemon oil directly on the wart. Repeat until wart is gone.

Castor oil

Castor oil is another effective wart removal remedy. To use it, simply apply the oil to your wart then gently rub or massage the area with your fingers. Do this day and night for a number of weeks and your wart should be gone.

Banana Peel

Rubbing a banana peel on your wart for a few weeks is touted to do wonders for your skin as it can get rid of certain skin disorders like warts. Rub the banana peel a number of times during the day for best results.

You can find more home remedies for wart removal online or from published home remedy books.  Find one that suits you best. Remember: when using home remedies, nothing is guaranteed.  Its effectiveness generally differs from one person to another.

There are a lot of homemade wart removal solutions available on the Internet. Some are tried-and-tested, while some are questionable. One solution may work better than another since there are different types of warts and different skin types as well. Most homemade wart removal solutions use natural ingredients like plant extracts, oils, or fruits and vegetables. Though these are effective, the speed of treatment can vary depending on the size and nature of the wart.

One of the best homemade wart removal solutions is Aloe sap. Aloe is a common plant that has been noted for it’s many benefits to the hair and skin. Aloe is also used as herbal medicine and as a means to avoid spread of infection on a wound.  Applying Aloe to a wart helps lessen irritation or discomfort and speed up healing. Aloe also helps soften the skin, and in effect, the wart, so it can be removed easily.

Another reliable solution is the use of tea tree oil. Pure tea tree oil has numerous medical and cosmetic benefits, and is used as an antiseptic. Rubbing tea tree oil on a wart helps remove the wart and reduce chances of spreading the wart. Rubbing Vitamin E oil also helps reduce chances of spreading the wart and helps dry it out while allowing the skin to heal properly.

The use of fruits and vegetables such as garlic, potato and banana peels are also ideal since they are safe, risk-free and not costly. All one has to do is to rub a piece of any of the three on the wart daily, and in a few weeks, the wart disappears. Garlic and potato have been proven to be very beneficial for the body, and this is just one of the many ways it can help as herbal medicine.

It is also highly recommended that in-between using any of these homemade solutions, a pumice stone or emery board should be used to file down the wart and soften it for easier removal. It can take up to 12 weeks to remove a wart, depending on how persistent it is, but it needn’t be a cause for worry. Warts do go away in time with treatment, and starting immediate treatment once a wart is detected helps stop the spread of one wart to another part of the body.

When faced with all these options, the best homemade solution really depends on you. The best homemade wart removal solution depends on your skin type, wart type and availability of the ingredients. It also depends on the speed of healing and how well the infected area healed. You may discover other solutions better suited for you, but don’t forget to consult a doctor if the infection seems serious and refuses to go away.

Unfortunately, they do have the tendency to recur.

Here are some traditional remedies you can try at home.  Find out which among them is the most effective wart removal solution for you.

1.  A simple way of doing it is by applying onion juice directly on the wart.  Do this regularly for a few weeks.

2.  For warts that are bleeding, you can try grinding cumin seeds and make a poultice out of them. The poultice should be applied to the wart, and tied in place with the help of a cloth.

3.  Many people swear that the most effective wart removal for them involves a regular application of tea tree oil. This is understandable as tea tree oil is touted to be a very powerful antiseptic.

4.  Castor oil combined with a pinch of baking soda also makes a great wart remedy. It should come out as a paste which is then applied directly on the affected area and preferably left overnight. If done continuously for a few days, the warts should diminish in size and disappear in a week or so.

5.  Others believe that the most effective wart removal is sulfur-rich garlic.  A single clove of garlic is enough to work wonders.  Just cut it into two halves and place it on the warts so that the cut portion is in contact with the warts. Put it on before bedtime so that it can work overnight, tied with a cloth bandage. The warts should disappear within two or three days.

6. Try roasting some pomegranate peel. Mix it with lime juice to make a pasty mixture. Apply this paste on your skin problems such as warts, moles, blackheads, pimples, etc.

7.  Because of its vitamin C-rich quality, some people rely on freshly squeezed grapefruit juice. Apply the juice directly on the warts several times each day.

8.  Also try applying the juice of a fresh pineapple onto the affected area. With regular application, the warts will disappear within a few days. You can do it before bedtime so that it is left on overnight. Just wash it off in the morning when you wake up. Similarly, you can use a pineapple slice and tie it around the skin instead of applying the juice.

9. Probably the most effective wart removal, or best cure-all for that matter, is looking after your health in a holistic way.  Drink lots of water and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.  Additionally, get on the move and exercise more. This will give your immune system a boost and enable your body to fight warts, or other viruses or bacterium that threatens to attack you.

Warts are relatively harmless. Though they tend to spread easily, they are noun-cancerous. If treated immediately, further spreading of warts to other parts of the body can be stopped.

There are several ways of getting rid of warts. Natural methods are available, as well as over-the-counter medication and surgery. Take note, though, that the best wart removal ideas are those, which are reputable and suited for your wart and skin type.

Natural methods are most ideal for a lot of people since they are cheaper, readily available and tried-and-tested. There are numerous wart treatments that use natural ingredients that may be lying around in your home or kitchen. The use of vegetables like garlic and potato helps in removing warts. If using garlic, all you need to do is peel and slice a clove, and rub it on the wart daily until it disappears. The same goes with using potato; all you need is a small slice rubbed on the area for 30 minutes twice daily until it disappears.

Tea tree oil is said to be the best wart removal oil readily available in the market. Rubbing pure tea tree oil that is high-qualityhigh quality on a wart can help make it disappear in a few weeks. An alternative would be rubbing one drop of lemon essential oil twice daily. This promises faster results.

Another natural method of removing warts is the use of Aloe sap. Aloe is well-known for it’s medicinal and cosmetic properties, and has been used in skin and hair products for years. Rubbing a sliver of Aloe on a wart helps reduce irritation or discomfort and speeds up the healing process. It softens the skin as it helps heal the wart.

It can take one to three weeks for a wart to be removed using the natural methods. For those who prefer faster healing, there are some over-the-counter creams and medicines that can be used to get rid of the wart.

Any cream or medicine containing salicylic acid can help get rid of warts in a matter of days. Salicylic acid is used as a solution for a variety of skin problems like persistent acne, so be sure to look for medicines specifically suited for warts. These medicines are usually applied on the wart and left to dry. The wart gets darker and falls off. Salicylic acid is the best wart removal medicine available. However, compared to natural methods, using medicines are pricier.

For persistent warts, surgery is also an option. It is definitely expensive, and will have to depend on the availability and recommendation of your dermatologist.

Remember that the best wart removal method will always depend on you and whichever method you feel is the safest and most reputable. Additional information can be found in medical journals and on the internet Internet about warts.

Even though some insurance plans do actually cover the cost of wart removal done surgically, people would rather deal with this embarrassing problem in privacy at home if the option is available to them.

There are many products you can purchase online now that are created to safely deal with warts at home. There are also remedies that you can actually make at home using simple ingredients from your local supermarket.

Most of these home remedies use ingredients that are natural and generally don’t create any type of pain. The strength of these remedies actually rivals the more expensive store or internet bought mixtures.

The first remedy we will look at is Salicylic acid. This would have to be the most common treatment that people use from home. You can purchase this product from a pharmacy without a prescription. When using this acid, you need to remember that it can be quite strong and is able to burn the skin, so you need to make sure you only apply it to the warts.

The next home remedy is using duct tape. This is undoubtedly the cheapest of all home remedies. The downside to this method is that it can take some time to see visible results. By continually pulling tape off a wart, it is believed that this action triggers a reaction that causes the immune system to fight the wart and to get rid of it.

Another great method for removing warts at home is to use a cryogenic product that can be obtained also without a prescription from a pharmacy. Dermatologists usually preferred this method, but now these products have become widely available and are no longer restricted to their offices. As with the salicylic acid, you need to be careful when using this type of product.

Garlic is also used by many people to remove warts. You need to cut a slice of garlic, then place it over the wart and then cover it with a bandage. You then leave it on overnight and take it off in the morning. You then need to repeat this procedure each night for two weeks.

Similar to garlic is tea tree oil. This oil is a strong antibacterial and antiseptic. Using tea tree oil is a great way to stop the spreading of warts. You can use a cotton wool pad to softly dap the effected area several times a day. After a few days or sometimes a week or more, the wart should start to disappear.

The last remedy involves using apple cider vinegar. You do the same thing as you did with the tea tree oil except instead of putting oil on the cotton wool pad, you soak it in vinegar. Hold the vinegar in place by using a band-aid and leave it on overnight. Again, it should take several days or a week or more for the wart to disappear.

Some people claim that raw cabbage juice or cabbage added to the diet will cure warts. Why this works is not known but it is harmless and worth a try. Another vegetable that supposedly works is raw un-skinned potatoe. This time you cut the ends off the potatoes and rub them on the wart for five minutes or so. Repeat twice a day for a week. Another food remedy is to file the wart down as far as possible then cover in a raw steak. I don’t recommend eating the steak after!

Garlic, which is used for many home remedies, is also reputedly a cure for warts. Just crush and apply to the wart twice a day. Variations on this theme is to apply duct tape over the crushed garlic.
Some people claim that liquid kelp (which can be bought at the health food store) and applied before bed will kill warts.

Another unusual remedy is to uses banana peel to cover the wart, held in place by tape. Leave on until the peel turn black and the wart should be gone.

Witch hazel, which can be bought in any pharmacy, is also worth trying. Some people have had success taking alfalfa pills. Other, desperate for a cure people, have put toothpaste on their warts with success. Some have used castor oil to cure their warts.

From personal experience, I recommend tea tree oil. When my daughter was small she had a cluster of warts on the soles of her feet. After visiting a dermatologist and buying prescription creams which failed to work, I decided to put tea tree oil to the test and the results were remarkable. After just two or three applications of tea tree oil, the warts just faded away, never to return.
