Banana peels have cured our daughter's plantar wart! We had been to the doctor to have the stubborn wart frozen off. It grew to twice the size after 2 weeks. The bill for the "surgery" was 170.00$. Found the banana peel remedy on this website and tried it out. Our 5 year old thought it was fun to tape a small piece of banana peel to her wart every night before bed. After 3 weeks she was running around in flip flops and ran into the house to tell me her wart was "falling off" - sure enough, it was peeling right off, callous and inner scabbed area. There is nice fresh skin underneath now. Still a very small central area of wart but I feel confident that within a week or so it will be gone totally. Amazing!

I had about 10 warts on my feet and I had them for years. I tried everything, and nothing worked until I tried band-aiding a piece of a banana peel on each wart EVERY night (and during the day if I was at home). It took at least a month for all of the warts to completely disappear, but they did eventually go away and I haven't had another one since! It is definitely a remedy worth trying!

My 10 year old daughter had a wart on her toe. We tried OTC gel but that did not work at all. I found this website two weeks ago and read about the Banana peel. We tried it right away, I would cut a little square piece every night before bedtime and put it on the wart, secure it with a bandaid and take it off in the morning. We did that almost every night, I would say skipped about three times. Every morning we found it smaller than the day before, it did turn black from the first day. This morning (about the 10th day of doing it) the little black head fell off and her toe looks fantastic, there is still a little hole but I am sure by tomorrow it will look much better. We are super happy and amazed. Thank you very much for this wonderful website and thanks to all the people that shared their stories. My friend now has a wart on her finger and I told her to use Banana peel I'll let you know how it goes.

Dear CJ from Boston, MA I read your story and really wish you get rid of your warts: try the same descripted banana method uninterupted three weeks long but WITHOUT EATING the bananas!

OK, I'm confused, are we supposed to use green banana or ripe bananas? CJ is eating his so it must be ripe.

EC: Ripe bananas is our thought...

Personally I would not refrigerate a banana or use refrigerated ones. You could be causing issues for the treatment. Just use regular, non-refrigerated bananas. Anything refrigerated will lose many attributes just by the un-natural cooling process over-time. Same thing occurs with freezing. Anytime you take a food substance out of an artificial environment such as freezing or refrigerating many natural properties are lost very fast.

Just use a fresh banana right after you peel it.

Banana skin cured a plantar wart on my toe. I soaked it in hot water every night for fifteen minutes, because I know that heat can kill viruses. Then I applied a small piece of banana peel with the inside against the wart, covered it with two bandaids and put on socks. In the morning, I removed it, showered, then covered the toe with a foam tube and wore socks to keep the tube on. Inside of a week, the wart went from entirely covering the end of my toe to the point where it was pushing up the toenail, to a pinpoint. I'm a skeptic, but I'm so impressed with this that I wrote about it in my blog here http://hawkhillacres.blogspot.com/2007/03/warts-and-all.html I really appreciate the info at this site and have told everyone I know about it. Thanks for all you've done to help people. Lill

My daughter went to a podiatrist for her warts on her feet, there was a visiting pre-med student from the Caribbean Islands, she said they got rid of Warts by putting a Banana Leaf (against the wart) with a copper penny on the banana leaf then tape over that, and the Wart will eventually fall off. Haven't tried, don't have any banana leaves.

If anyone is suffering from plantar warts, you must try this banana peel remedy. It is amazing how well it works while traditional treatments do not. My son is nine years old and had a painful plantars wart on his heel. I tried treating it myself with a freezing kit from the drup store. I also used salicylic acid. Neither treatment helped at all. In fact the wart grew even larger and even developed two more warts. At this point these warts were more painful than ever and my son could not walk on that heel at all. I then took him to podiatrist who used a scalpel to scrape the wart down until it bled. He then applied medicine. He sent us home with a prescription for Formaldehyde and said to apply every night. He told us to come back to his office every two weeks to have wart scraped until it goes away. After watching my son go through that I was in no hurry to go back, but what other choice did he have? I applied the Formaldehyde for five nights and the wart seemed to get worse and much more painful. I could not even touch it at this point. That is when I turned to the internet and found this website. I read about others success stories with the banana peel and decided to give it a try. I taped a piece on banana peel to his foot every night. After only two nights the pain went away. This was all the encouragement I needed to keep up with the treatment. It did take three weeks for the wart to completely heel and fall off. Keep in mind this was a very large wart and the root was very deep. My son and I are so happy I found this remedy. Everyone should try it. I can't hurt but will most likely help.

My 7 year old daughter had 4 big planters warts on the bottom of her foot. We found your site and did the banana peel treatment on her foot overnight for a week and a half. After the first night we noticed resaults. Now all four of those nasty buggers are gone. There was no pain involved for my little girl. In the past for a regular wart on her knee. i took her into the doctors office for weekly visits for about three months along with treatments at home. She hated it and so did i she would cry and carry on how it hurt. So when i found this site we were all so happy and we had to try it. It's better then the alternative treatments and the money they cost. thank you so much

The Banana Peel remedy for warts really does work - take it from a skeptic. Being a skeptic doesn't always serve me, and I'm glad I tried the banana peel method. I followed the instructions exactly and used it on a wart that had been on my middle finger for over a year. Being the hard skeptic that I am, I was only mildly impressed when I saw the wart had diminished by 50% a week later and now is almost completely GONE 2 weeks later. I wore the banana peel over the wart for up to 5 hours per day (while sleeping) and on other days between 40 minutes and an hour. Not such a bad deal in terms of cost and convenience. Not to mention you can't get anymore NATURAL than that, and I'd take nature's remedies over processed chemical garbage ANY century in the millenia! Oh, did I mention that the wart is pretty much GONE? Just have to wear some banana skin for a couple of more hours! MAGIC!

UNBELIEVABLE! Banana peels really do cure warts! My 16 year old son has battled an ugly wart on the back of his hand for nearly two years. We've spent over $100 on doctor visits, prescriptions, and over-the-counter stuff, none of these things worked and after freezing the wart it came back bigger and in the form of a ring...UGLY . We started cutting a piece of banana peel put it on the wart and held it in place with a bandaid overnight, and after 1 month the ugly ring wart is flat and almost gone. I can't believe this really works...but it does!

Phlebitis: I tried Ted's lemon baking soda remedy, and it helped, but not a cure. My problem extends to my feet making it difficult walking , a catch 22 situation, exercise being part of the treatment. I have tried losing weight as well , but at( 60 yrs) 140lbs and 5ft4" I am not that over weight.

I have found it does help alot with gout and arthritis, as well as the arthritus diet has.

Interestingly, I was taking guaifenesin for a cough, and my feet felt much better , I wondered if it was a coincidence, but when I stopped taking it it was back within days! I looked guaifenesin up and it has interesting properties including possible , inhibition of platelet aggregation.

I have found it possible to buy as a tablet, and currently I am able to go back to pottering about in the vegatable garden again!

I would be interested in anybody elses experiences , and am just putting it out there in case it would help anybody else.

My daughter is 7 years old and had a very painful plantar wart on her foot. The doctor said to "wait it out or cut it out". After trying an OTC treatment a couple of times we were headed back to the doctor as the wart had continued to grow and another was starting. That's when I stumbled on this banana peel info and we thought we'd give it a shot. That was 13 days ago. We have been applying a small piece of banana peel almost every night (we missed a few) for about 2 weeks and today the wart fell off! It did turn black and was "very ugly" as my daughter said. I'm hoping that the thing is gone for good. But if it comes back we know what to do.

Banana Peel cured my warts and I saved around Rs3000/-, by applying banana peel. I consulted doctors, they did CRYO for 2 weeks, they asked me to come for next 3 weeks for the same treatment. I searched in this site and followed the procedure for 2 weeks.

step 1: Take a banana peel.
step 2: Wash your legs or hands (or where ever warts are there), make them dry.
step 3: Tie with banana peel so that inner part of banana peel touches Wart, tie it with a plaster or something so that even you sleep during nights banana peel wont move.
step 4: After 6 to 8 hours applying remove the peel off
step 5: wash that place.

This is the procedure I followed. Worked well. even for wart on my hand's middle finger. Thanks very very grateful to all those who helped me by sending this remedy.

I had a very large inflamed wart on the cuticle of my thumb for about 3 months. Surgical removal was not an option and I tried the OTC freezing remedy. 10 days after starting to wear a piece of banana peel secured with dressing tape the wart is flat, has turned blackish brown, is no longer painful and looks like it is about 3 days away from coming off completely. Amazing result.

I had a wart on my hand I wanted removed before my wedding. Every night before bed for about two weeks I would put a slice of banana peel on the wart and secured it with a band aid. I kept the banana peel in the freezer to keep it fresh, and would cut it as needed. During the day I let it air out. Within 2 weeks the wart turned brown and popped right off painlessly!

I am just curious to know if anyone tried this with genital warts, and if so, did it work?

I tried it on genital warts. They were all gone after 2.5 weeks. The key is to use peels from green bananas and to wear them almost the whole day. I wrote a long piece of my case on this site explaining everyting in detail.

Plantar Wart: A friend of mine told me to use the peeling on the wart as it I was rubbing it back and forth on a nightly basis. A couple of days (4-5), the neck of the wart pulled out, it looked black and it was gross, I let it expose to air and about the 8th day it had dried out and the wart was gone, It really works. P.S. I Love your site.
