Genital warts are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), and because they are viral in nature, outbreaks can reoccur. HPV is a serious condition, and a medical professional should be consulted. However, due to the cost of prescribed medications, home remedies provide an attractive alternative.
Types
Apply oil containing vitamin E onto the wart. Use tape or a bandage to apply fresh, crushed garlic onto the area. The purpose of this treatment is to make the wart fall off.
Potential
The juice of onions marinated overnight in salt, the juice from a fig stem, and apple cider vinegar have all been proven as effective home remedies for genital warts. These juices should be applied with a cotton ball directly onto the warts.
Considerations
A diet that boosts the immune system is recommended. This diet should include fresh fruits and vegetables and dark, leafy green vegetables. Likewise, avoid foods, drinks, and drugs that are harmful to the body, such as alcohol and cigarettes.
Prevention/Solution
Transmission of genital warts occurs through unprotected contact with an infected individual, and through the sharing of towels or clothing that are infected. Avoid these situations to avoid contacting HPV.
Warning
Many types of HPV have been linked to cancer. Consult a doctor immediately to confirm the diagnosis and to make sure that a home remedy is an acceptable option. (Ref. 2, 3.)
