natural remedy for planter's warts??

[Cheryl33]

I have a whole bunch of them under my feet and they are really starting to hurt. Any natural remedies? I really don't like to use chemical crap plus I am pregnant, so I am even less inclined right now.

TIA!

i'm no expert, but i think my homeopath gave me thuja in liquid form to put directly on the warts when i was a kid. maybe pm panserbjorn??

I took the homeopathic thuja in oral form, just the kind from Whole Foods (Bioron? In the blue/white container). Seriously, it was a miracle. I had those darn warts on my feet for TEN YEARS before I cleared them up. It's been several years now that I've been wart-free. Just so you know, it did take several months. But, progress was obvious--after a couple of weeks, I could tell that they were getting smaller.

Duct tape. No, seriously. You put duct tape over them and leave it for, a week I thrink. Rip it off and a bunch should come off. Put new on and repeat. You can google for exact directions but it works.

Weird, but true. This is what i did.

Depriving them of oxygen with duct tape worked for me, and my daughter, but not for my son -- had to use the wart cream.

We also tried soaking a bit of cotton in ACV and taping it to the wart with the duct tape, as I read online. I don't know if it made the cure work any faster. It did take several weeks.

A doctor told me to put a couple of layers of nail polish on it. I covered that w/ duct tape and it was gone after 2 weeks! (yes an md who didn't want to medicate, shocking I know! ) Unfortunately my previous md before him saw me weekly for 5mos to do liquid nitrogen, and I still had that wart until the new doc and his nail polish trick.

We used Bragg's ACV on my son's wart, put the ACV on a piece of gauze and taped it with a bandaid for 4 nights in a row. We took the gauze/bandaid off during the day. By the end of the first night, the wart was black. By the 4th night, it was a weird grayish-black. Within a week, the bulk of it fell off and it was completely healed within a couple weeks.

duct tape. its been proven more effective than other treatments.

clip/shave the dead cells off the top every few days and put on a new piece each day. they really do go away!
