Warts

Common warts are benign growths in the top layer of the skin that are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). The virus is contagious and can spread through contact. While they are usually skin-colored and grainy or rough, warts can also be dark and smooth. Warts are usually harmless and go away on their own.

Basil Poultice

1–2 tablespoons dried basil, crumbled

jojoba oil

Place the basil in a small bowl. Warm a little bit of jojoba oil, and then add just enough to the basil to moisten it and make a thick paste.

To use: Cover the skin with gauze and then spoon on enough of the poultice to cover the wart. Alternatively, place the poultice in a small muslin bag or tea filter bag. Use a piece of gauze to hold it in place, and then cover with a towel to keep it warm. Remove the poultice when it starts to cool. Apply 2 or 3 times a day, making a fresh poultice each time.

Thyme Tincture

¾ cup dried thyme, crumbled

2 cups 80 to 100 proof alcohol (vodka, gin, brandy, or rum)

Place the thyme and alcohol in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. Close and shake for 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside for 2 to 3 weeks, shaking the jar every other day before straining.

To use: Place a few drops on the wart and cover with an adhesive bandage. Apply 2 times a day.

The antiviral properties of garlic also make it useful when dealing with warts. The Garlic Oil included under Ringworm can be used or simply add the juice of 1 clove to a tablespoon of honey. Let it stand for two to three hours before applying to the wart and covering with a bandage. Adding garlic to your diet helps, too. Dabbing aloe vera gel on a wart two or three times a day is also effective.
