Though warts are often not harmful for health, they are obviously one of the most unwanted, unpleasant and even embarrassing condition. The conventional treatment for them include burning, freezing or cutting those affected areas from the skin, but even those treatments do not guarantee great results.Luckily there are several home remedies that are easy to use and can prove to be very effective. Following is a brief rundown on them.
Natural Treatments For Warts
Banana Peel
Banana peel is a very popular home remedy for warts. You just have to rub a banana peel on the warts several times during a day. You will see very positive results within a few weeks.
Castor Oil
Applying castor oil is also a very effective natural way to remove warts. When you apply this oil, you should massage or rub the warts and surrounding areas with your fingers. Do it several times a day. If you are using this remedy consistently, the warts should start diminishing in appearance over the course of a few weeks. For faster results, you should cover the warts with a bandage soaked in castor oil. Keep replacing it with fresh bandage several times a day. The warts will start disappearing much faster this way.
Essential Lemon Oil
Another popular home remedy to remove warts is by putting essential lemon oil directly on the affected area.
Just a single drop is enough, but you should do it several times a day, such as once every hour. Keep repeating this process for a number of weeks until the warts disappear.
Tea Tree Oil
When it comes to removing warts using natural remedies, tea tree oil can also prove to be very effective.

Aloe Vera
Apply a clean cotton ball soaked in aloe gel directly on the warts. Place this cotton ball for around 15-20 minutes. For much better results, you should soak the cotton ball in aloe gel for longer than a minute and tape it on the warts. The gel dries up in a few hours; so, keep adding more drops of gel on the cotton ball tape again and again.
Duct Tape
The method is very simple. All you have to do is just to cover the warts thoroughly with a piece of duct tape. The piece should be as long as is necessary to cover the warts. Leave this tape on for a week. After a week, soak the duct tape with water and then scrub it gently with a pumice stone. The warts should come off along with the tape. If it doesn’t, you should repeat the process for one or two more weeks.
Baking Soda And Vinegar

Keep repeating this process once in the morning and once in the evening for 5-6 weeks or longer until the wart falls off. For much faster and more effective results, you can also consider covering this coating of baking soda paste and vinegar with a thin bandage.
Garlic
When it comes to removing warts using natural remedies, the healing power of garlic can also prove to be very useful. Grind a clove of garlic and then scrub it on the warts gently. Cover it with a thin bandage. Do it every night right before you are going to bed. In addition to that, apply a coating of garlic juice on the affected area at least 2-3 times during the day. This remedy, when used consistently, should eliminate warts within just two to three weeks.
Apple Cider Vinegar
High-quality organic apple cider vinegar also contains powerful ingredients that can remove warts naturally. Soak a cotton ball in it and apply it thoroughly on the warts.

In the end, it is very important for you to keep in mind that all these home remedies can work very effectively in removing warts only if you stick with a particular remedy and use it consistently.
