Plantar Wart Remedy? Check Out Your Kitchen

If you think that it is impossible to find a plantar wart remedy in your own home, you may be pleasantly surprised. People that like to take responsibility for their own health and well-being may just find a plantar wart remedy that will work extremely well for them.

What are some examples of a home remedy that will work on your wart? One example of this is the use of duct tape. Duct tape is not generally used for medical purposes, but experts have done studies which show that it's use may indeed help treat these foot warts. All you have to do is to cover the wart with the tape for six consecutive days. On the seventh day, remove the tape and just let the wart breathe, and if possible, remove the uppermost layer of the wart, by scraping it off using pumice stone, or even a clean nail file. Repeat this cycle for 2 months until the wart disappears. If the adhesive wears off and the tape falls off or shifts out of place, just reapply it.

Another home remedy for your plantar wart is the use of salicylic acid. Salicylic acid is commonly used for treating calluses and acne. And recently it has been proven that it is also effective for plantar warts. It slowly burns the wart until nothing remains. Contrary to what people think - perhaps because of its 'burning' nature -- using salicylic acid is not painful at all, when done carefully.

The third home plantar wart remedy is the use of apple cider vinegar. Yes, even the vinegar found in your kitchen can actually be a remedy for plantar warts. What you do is to first soak the affected area in warm water. Afterwards, get a cotton ball and dampen it with salicylic acid. Then put the cotton on the affected area and tape it there. The only problem with this is that, during the initial treatment, a burning sensation can be felt. But this burning sensation eventually fades after two or three applications.

There is nothing wrong with trying to implement your plantar wart remedy right from your own home. Studies have proven that many other home-remedies are also effective. However these are occasionally not as quick-acting as those treatments prescribed and performed by doctors. And so it might take some time before you get your desired results, which is the disappearance of the warts. But all you have to do is to be patient and persistent because in the end it will all pay off.
