White Vinegar

I tried the banana peel cure and after several weeks the cure did not seem to be working so I moved on to using white vinegar, which completely cured me in about two weeks. The pH of the vinegar may be the source of the cure. I had used salicylic acid for about 4 months before trying either cure and while it removed the wart the wart kept coming back from the roots.

My son had a wart on his finger. Tried every over the counter products to remove it. Was told about apple cider vinger to remove the wart. We soaked a small piece of cotton with ACV and applied it to the wart and wraped it with a bandaid, changing every second day. Within ten days the wart fell off. Worked great.

Plantar Wart Cure: Applied ACV to a cotton ball, and placed cotton ball on about 3 in. of duct tape and placed it on the wart on my foot. 3 days later wart came off while I was rubbing the area. This is a wonderful idea.

I used organic unpasteurized honey from the health food store to cure warts on my son's hands. You take a table spoon twice a day for two weeks. I recommended this to a friend who had warts and it also got rid of her sty she had for years near her eye.

I have suffered from and unusual case of warts on my face and fingers. I have tried almost everything, including going to the dermatologists at least six times to have them frozen, but they always came back. It took a long time, but the apple cider vinegar remedy definitely worked, and I finally have them under control know. If one starts to show up I can just nip it in the bud. I am so grateful that I found this cure, and I found it on this website. Thanks a lot, and I hope many more people will benefit from trying this.

Dear Daniel,

While using the ACV on the face did it affect the skin or leave rashes?? As I also have a wart below my eye and it has been there for many years I am very scared to do anything about it as am worried that it might leave a scar on the face which will even be worse than having a wart.

I had a wart for close to 20 years under my big toe where it joined the foot. It didn't really bother me much until the last 10 years. I went to a dermatologist twice to have it burnt off. That was all pain and no gain! I tried the typical OTC acids, the duck tape and numerous other remedies. After reading this site, I tried the ACV. Morning and night I'd soak a piece of cotton and cover it with a bandaid. Also at night, I'd soak my foot for about 30 minutes in ACV. I was determined to get rid of this thing is why I went at it so aggressively! It took 2-3 days before I felt the stinging and/or throbbing that others mentioned. Sometimes it would get bad enough that I had to back off the treatments for a day or two...on those days I just kept the wart covered with duct tape. It took 2-3 weeks for the wart to turn black then I was able to peel it off. I guess it took longer than usual because I'd had it for so long. That was a couple of months ago and so far it hasn't returned. I'm so thankful for this website and all the wonderful people who take the time to post their experiences!!

Hello, I have some questions regarding this treatment. I have a plantar wart on the ball of my foot under the 3rd and 4th toes. It is about the size of a nickel. I apply ACV to a cotton ball and cover it with duck tape at night, and take it off in the morning (usually leaving it on for about 16-20 hours). When I remove the cotton ball, my wart seems to indent and turn a milky white. It has black/brown specs throughout.

I typically use hydrogen peroxide on the wart, and take a shower (washing the wart with an antibacterial soap). When I get out of the shower, I typically let the wart dry out for a few hours and then trim the hardened skin off of it (to reveal the white soft skin with black/brown/reddish spots). Then I reapply the ACV and duck tape. I have been using the ACV for a few days. My foot has so much pain it hurts to walk on it. Is this all normal? I've read some comments here that say that wart should turn black. I'm not sure how long I can stand to continue the treatment with this pain. Any suggestions? Thank you! I am hoping this treatment will help to get rid of this darn thing!

I have heard that acv is good for warts but my daughter used the 3% hydrogen peroxide i made with the 35% food grade and her warts came off very quickly and we had tried everything. The little black dots u are seeing where the wart is need to be picked out, the doctor had told us they were like little black seeds and if we got those out her warts would eventually go away and it did seem to help. Im not sure if the avc is the cause of the pain but u may wish to try the hydrogen peroxide and see if that helps my daughter had no pain and and several warts were gone within days hope this helps good luck

I had recently bought the 35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide and made the 3% with it using 1oz. of the 35% with 11oz. of water and my daughter who seems to not be able to get rid of warts put some on the warts and within days they fell off. I was simply amazed we had tried everything even the banana peels and have been to the doctor and had them frozen and they didnt go away from that so after years of buying stuff from the pharmacy to get rid of the warts I have finally found something that works. Hope it will be of some use. Love this site it gives lots of info...

This site has helped me cure (yes cure, not just relief) some nasty foot warts that kept coming again and again for the last 3-4 years. I had been through several dermatologists, been through the freezing, biopsy, laser, OTC...you name it, all treatments but only to see them come back again in months. I was so frustrated to go back to the Dr. so many times and even asked the Dr if there was any cure for it and what I can do to make sure they don't come back but they just kept on doing the freezing/lazer every time I went (good business I guess).

After reading the ACV treatment for warts on this site I tried it and it REALLY worked as others say on this site. I dipped a cotton ball in ACV and placed it on the wart and taped it (body tape) over night and for 3 weeks. Some warts turned black within a week but others took time but they all were gone. I am sure they will not come back again this time. Even if they do I have a cure I can do myself at home instead of repeated trips to the Dr.

I am very thankful for this site, now I am also taking ACV drink (in water, honey) 3-4 times a week to see if it helps boost my immunity. I will know this next fall when the allergies start every year for me. I hope I won't get those seasonal allergies this year. That would be wonderful, all with a natural, safe and do at your own time cure.

Apple Cider Vinegar cured my wart.

I normally do not write reviews, but after reading on a medical site that ACV does not work, I had to post my results. I had a wart on my hand for over a year; I tried all the over the counter medicines but they did not work. I logged on to your site and saw the ACV cures and decided to try it. Within two weeks the wart was completely gone. I spent about fifty dollars trying different things to get rid of it and the bottle of ACV in my pantry did the trick. As suggested, I put the ACV on a cotton ball, covered the wart and wrapped it in tape every night before bed. Thank you all for your postings, please try this remedy, it works.

Hydrogen Peroxide, Apple Cider Vinegar

Hi all! My first post, what a blessing Earth Clinic is to all of us! Thank you very much E.C.!!

Anyway, I'm guessing that due to pumping out excess toxins using methods on this website, a bunch of warts have been poppin out. I've been applying A.C.V, and 3% F.G. H202 with great sucess! My method might seem crude, but I normally pick at the affected area for a little bit, then after the skins opens, I take a cue tip with ACV and H202 and apply vigerously. It stings some, but I then cover it up with a band-aid or duct tape, whatever to cut off the oxygen supply to the wart. My uncle who I lived with was using a much harsher method given the doctors and it took his twice as long with really scarey looking hole from the chemicals he was given. He sees I'm kinda crazy with all this stuff, but hey, I feel great and know that I'm doing what is nessisary in this toxic world we live in. God bless, Now go get em!

A big YEA for this remedy. Worked great on a persistent wart on my thumb. During the day I would soak a small piece of cotton with ACV and tape it to the wart with duct tape. At night I would do the same with a diluted 35% H2O2 solution (diluted down to 7.5%). There was some stinging and pain at times but nothing that was unbearable. After 7 days the wart was completely gone.

I would like to enthusiastically offer my support for apple cider vinegar in the cure of various skin ailments. WARTS: I dipped a very small piece of cotton in ACV, put this directly on the wart, then covered all with an air-tight bandage. I left on for c. 12 hours, then let the entire area breathe for 12 hours. I repeated for about 3 weeks, as this was a deep and large wart. The first 2 applications stung and throbbed a bit, but from then on, the entire enterprise was painless. The area eventually ulcerated--looks messy for a while--and painlessly peeled off. No more wart! As maintenance for about 3 more weeks, I dabbed a little ACV on the area, without bandage. The wart has not recurred after more than a year and a half! This really works, folks!

ACTINIC KERATOSIS: My dermatologist identified this on my skin just above my upper lip. She offered to burn it off with liquid nitrogen: no, thanks. I followed the same ACV routine, and it worked! Took a lot less time, as this keratosis was not deep.

BENIGN PAPILLOMA: I am currently eliminating a little bump from my nose that I've had for over 10 years: it is in the red and ulcerating phase and about to sluff off.

I am THRILLED with the way ACV works to remove skin ailments! This method is cheap, safe, and natural. The skin afterwards is perfectly healthy and not scarred: quite preferable to liquid nitrogen or fluorouracil-5 or other harsh chemicals. Try it!

My 10 yr old son got a huge nasty wart on his thumb about 2 months ago. I took him to the docs and he suggested freezing. I didn't agree and wanted to find something without side effects. Found remedy for warts on earthclinic and after 1 application, the wart was 1/2 the size when my son woke up in the morning. I soaked a cotton ball with ACV and secured to his thumb with a bandage. Now the core has completely gone...all within 1 week. Hooray! Thank you soooo much!

A nasty looking wart appeared on my forehead one day out of nowhere. After a couple of weeks looking at it I recalled having removed a wart several years ago from my left hand using apple cider vinegar. I still had the ACV. First I rubbed the top of the wart a bit with fine sand paper. An emery board would probably work as well. Then a used a small piece of cotton from an ear swab. I soaked it in ACV, put it on top of the wart and a bandaid over it. Used the other end of the swab to drip some more ACV behind the bandaid on the cotton/wart. It burnt a little bit.I changed it in the morning and at night, adding ACV during the day. The third day it was flat and black. No more ACV, no more bandaids. It didn't fall off, so two days more and I just picked on it a bit and it came off. There's a little pink spot there, about 1/8 inch in diameter. I'm now putting V-E on it. If the pinkness goes away great, if not, no big deal. I'm just so glad to be rid of that nasty looking wart.

I've had one finger wart on the back of my left middle finger for four years now and one on my right index finger for a year and a half... I tried everything under the sun and one night I just decided to check out home remedys for it. I read and the apple cider vinegar and said no it couldn't be that easy. Than I sat and thought to myself if it could clean a penny and make it shine like new than why not. I only had white vinegar so that's what I used. I took a cotton ball and soaked it with vinegar and taped it on. the next morning there was some pain. I unrapped it to find it super swollen and white but also black in the middle signifing that it was killing the root. I put vitamin e oil on the surrounding skin to sooth it from the vinegar. this time I took bandaids and just poured the vinegar on the cotton part and placed it over the wart. I left it on all night. the next morning before jumping in the shower I took it off. I was amazed to find all of the swelling gone and the warts were all black and looked healing. I've never seen my fingers look like that in years. I wanted to cry. I wasn't my hands and repeated the step with bandaids and vinegar. I'm on my third day today and it looks even better. I was so moved and happy I had to share. I hope you get the same feeling of relief after trying this. good look and don't get discouraged of the pain. keep that sucker covered with the vinegar at it at all times till its gone. no air so that it dies.
