Warts.  They are ugly.  They aren't nice to look at and they can be very embaressing.  But do you need to go to a doctor to have them removed or are their alternative ways or methods to remove a wart?  The answer is No.....and....Yes (in that order)

First of all, let's make something clear.  Most of the medications and promises out there that promise that they can remove a wart in just 3 days is largely garbage.  Most of the procedures, including the ones administered by a doctor take about a week in the very least to work.

Also, a wart will generally go away on its own without medication but there isn't a time frame in which it will work.  For some people, it may be a couple days to a few weeks.  For others, it could be years.  

Warts typically appear whenever the immune system is suppressed.  In other words, if you are coming off a case of the flu or are dealing with some sort of disease.  Alternatively, they tend to disappear whenever your immune system is running on all cylinders.  This is the case for both genital warts and regular warts.

Most people carry the HPV virus and don't even know it just like most people carry the Herpes Virus.  In both cases, the virus will lay dormant until the immune system weakens.  This is important to understand as the immune system really holds the key as to whether a wart will appear or not.

So now that you know a little about warts, let's talk about how to remove a wart naturally....

There are many ways to remove a wart naturally.  This can be done by a doctor using cryotherapy (freezing it off) or by other methods.

The duct tape method of removing a wart-  This method works because of our body's tendency to attack foreign substances.  In this case it is duct tape.  You place the tape on the wart and surrounding skin overnight.  The skin will become irritated and the body's immune system will kick in and attack the area.  What results are small blisters on and around the wart.  The typical time it takes to kill the wart is a week or two.

Another method is to use garlic to remove a wart- To try this method, you crush some fresh garlic up and apply it directly to the wart. Cover it with a bandage and leave on overnight.  The oils from the garlic will irritate the skin and cause blisters.  Apply every night until the wart falls off.  This works best if you can soften the skin first.

Pineapple Juice can be used to remove a wart-  the process is the same as the garlic method.  You basically take a pineapple and make a puree.  Apply the puree directly on the affected area and then cover and leave overnight.  Rinse and repeat every night before you go to bed.  I have never personally tried this method but have heard that it works.

There you have it.  3 very easy methods to remove a wart naturally.  Of course, the best thing to do is to eat a clean diet that is rich in anti-oxidants and keep your immune system going strong.  Good luck!
