Home Remedies for Warts

1. Garlic

Garlic has antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties that fight viral infections.

• Crush a garlic clove and apply it on the affected area. Cover it with a bandage.
• Leave it on for about 20 minutes and then wash the area thoroughly.
• Repeat this treatment twice daily for about a week. The caustic effect of the garlic will cause the wart to blister and fall off. Larger warts may take longer to heal.

If you do not like the smell of garlic, you can take garlic capsules three times a day for a week.

2. Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar also has antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties.

• Dilute two parts apple cider vinegar in one part water.
• Apply this solution on the affected area using a clean cotton ball. Cover the area with a bandage or tape.
• Repeat this simple remedy for a few weeks. Within a few days, the warts will start turning black. Soon after, the warts will fall off leaving a small mark that will gradually vanish.
