Combat Warts Naturally: Top Remedies Ranked for Effectiveness

Milkweed

I had thirteen warts on my hands and a planters wart on my heel. Dr.s could not get rid of them. I found the milkweed cure. tried it and it worked. I've since recomended it to many, including my own children. all with the same sucess. The easiest way we found to use it is to apply the milk from a milkweed pod to a bandaid and apply it once a day for two weeks to each wart to be removed. Guarantee this to work! The reason for the bandaid is two fold. First the milk is sticky and accumulates lint when exposed. The second is the milk dries white and is very obvious in a situation we would rather not be drawing attention to. Try it -- you won't be disappointed!

Voodoo Remedies for Warts

I'm amazed at how many people know about the Potato Remedy for Warts. When I was about 10 years old (40 years ago) my stepmother told me about the potato remedy. At the time I had about 15 warts on my hands. Of course, no one at school wanted to hold hands with me. I didn't really believe the hocus pocus would work, but after cutting a potato in half, peeling one side and rubbing it on my hands and burying the other half, a few weeks later my stepmother asked me if my warts had gone away. I said NO, but when I looked at my hands, the warts were gone. She told me that when the eyes of the potato grew out in the yard where I'd planted it, the warts got smaller and smaller and finally went away. Forty years later I've never had another wart. AMAZING. It still amazes me after all these years.

I had a large annoying and sometimes painful wart on the pinky side of my wrist. I had this wart for from about the age of 10 to 13 when during a family get together my great uncle told me he could remove it. He had me cut a potatoe in half and he rubbed his half on the wart and I then rubbed my half on the wart as to make sure the wart was sufficiently wet. Then he instructed me to take my half of the potatoe out and bury it in the yard where only I knew its location and he would do the same. Within 2 weeks this monster wart dried up and began splintering and falling out until nothing remained, not even a scar. That was 23 years ago and it never came back. I am a believer!

I have been plagued by a wart on the middle joint of my pointing finger. it was painful and the acid treatment didn't work. I read about the ACV and decided to try it. After one night with cotton soaked in ACV, secured with a band aide, I was amazed that it was 95% gone! One more night with the same treatment and it is gone... It still is.

When I was about 12, I had a planters wart on the ball of my foot that was about a quarter inch in diameter. My aunt took an uncooked navy bean and rubbed it on the wart and then had me throw the bean in the trash and told me to forget about it and about 2 weeks later the core of the wart fell out and I never had another wart after that.

I have had a wart on my thumb for almost a year. I tried to have to frozen off but that was not working so I looked on this website for home remedies. I initially tried the bananna peel but that did not seem to work for me, so I tried the apple cider vinegar. I put apple cider vinegar on a bandaid and left it on all day. I could tell it was working but the bandaid kept drying out too fast. I then put it on a small piece of cotton ball and put a bandaid over it. That worked so well that it kill the wart in one day. The bandaid by itself was just not mosit enough. Thanks to to website and it's remedies, I'm now wart free.

[YEA] I Had 2 of these warts on the bottom of my left foot for maybe 2 years. Never even thinking they were anything more than calluses. Once I started feeling pain from the walking on the warts for so long (like having a pebble in your shoe). I started looking it up. Long story short. Did a 2 week ACV soaked bandage treatment over night. And it actually worked in about 6 days.

Our son had a wart starting to grow near the cuticle of his finger and it was actually starting to go under his nail. After putting apple cider vinegar on a band-aid and wrapping it on the finger for about one week, the wart was gone and never grew back. Place a new apple cider vinegar band-aid on the wart each night.

I had a raised wart on my back, I took a piece of gauze and soaked it in ACV and applied it right on the wart, covered it up with a piece of duck tape. would leave it on for a couple of days. repeated for about a week or so and the wart started to get all soft and turned green, scaped the dead skin off and mole was gone.

Garlic

Bad idea! The garlic got onto the surrounding skin (how do you just keep it on the wart?) and my daughters wrist has blistered badly and is very sore!

Potatoes

I had hundreds of small warts, on my hands, and fingers. Also plantars warts the size of quarters on the bottom of each foot. I cut a small piece off of the top of a potatoe, and rubbed it on my warts several times a day, or whenever I had the notion. I wrapped the potatoe in cellophane, and put it in the fridge, for the next use. I did this for a few weeks, then one day, to my surprise, I woke up, and ALL of my warts had disappeared. Gone, just like they disappeared overnight.

I have a wart cure that sounds truly as voodoo, but it works. My daughter had few warts on her hands, which were very irritating, as they kept coming back no matter what we did. My grandmother from Europe sent me a method that has been used to cure warts for centuries: Take a piece of cotton thread, tie as many knots in it as you have warts, then take the thread to some moist, dark place that you do not visit, place it under a rock then leave. When the cotton thread rots, your warts will disappear. I feel quite stupid even writing about it, but it did work, and the warts never came back.

Well, my mother used half a potato for tiny warts all over my knee when I was about 10 and similarly buried the potato in the garden! Same thing happened -- the warts went away within a week. So there is something to these strange voodoo-ish remedies!

One of my mates told me that a method is that you get a piece of uncooked red meat and rub it on your warts and bury the meat somewhere where nothing can dig it up and don't tell anyone you did it otherwise it won't work.

When I was in first grade, I had a wart on my thumb. My mother had told this story that to get rid of it... you had to steal a piece of fat from someone's refrigerator, rub it around the wart 3 times and bury it where it will get wet. My sister who was in 4th grade decided to help me. we took a piece of bacon fat from mother's refrigerator, rubbed it the 3 times and buried it under the rainspout... wah lah... it went away!!! and we were kids doing it.
