Plantar Wart Home Remedies

Plantar Warts are commonly known as verrucas. These are warts which are found on the bottom of the feet. They are caused by a common virus and are very contagious.. Because they are on the sole of the foot, the added pressure causes them to grow up inside of the skin leading to the affected area becoming very painful and tender.

There are many plantar wart home remedies you can use. The following is a list of just some of them.

Put a small square of banana skin on it. The fleshy side / inside of the banana skin should placed over the wart you want to remove, the hold in place with a band aid / plaster and wear a sock on the foot overnight. You should continue this treatment until the wart turns a brown or black color and easily comes off.

Use baking soda. Take some baking soda and mix with caster or olive oil and apply to the offending wart. You should leave this overnight, and as with the above example, cover with a band-aid. Repeat this until the wart drops off.

Use Vitamin E capsule. Simply open a standard Vitamin E capsule and rub the contents onto the wart and cover with a band-aid. You will need to repeat this treatment several times a day for it to be effective. You should also consider taking a Vitamin E capsule every day as a part of your diet.

Tea Tree Oil and Lemon Essential Oil. Put a couple of drops of these oils on a Q Tip or cotton wool pad and apply to the wart twice a day. You will need to repeat this treatment for a couple of weeks for it to be effective. Take care to only apply a few drops of the oils.
