RECIPES OF FOLK REMEDIES FOR WARTS

treatment of warts with folk remedies

For warts to appear, two conditions must be met: that a person has a papillomavirus infection in the blood (the so-called HPV - human papillomavirus) and that his immunity is extremely weakened.

A decline in the body’s immune forces can occur for many reasons, just as infection with a virus can occur in different ways, but the result is the same - the appearance of warts, which you have to fight.Sometimes using folk remedies.

Traditional medicine has a long history, but often loses in speed and effectiveness to modern methods.

The question of the effectiveness of traditional medicine

Treatment of warts with folk remedies was carried out by our ancestors long before official medicine recognized such growths on the skin as a medical problem, and even earlier than the terms cryodestruction and laser exposure appeared.Warts were treated with various lotions, infusions, baths and compresses, and these recipes are still used in the modern world.

Is this treatment effective?

Not always, and there are several explanations for this:

  • Each person’s body is individual: the degree of development of the virus and its variety (strain) may be different, so one person may not be suitable for the same wart treatment that helped another;
  • a modern person may have an allergic reaction to any traditional medicinal component added to the drug against papillomas, which can lead to worsening problems with the growth;
  • It makes no sense to remove advanced formations that have begun to degenerate into malignant cells using traditional methods, since this will not stop the pathological process of development of skin cancer - melanoma.

This is important!Every person can choose whether to trust alternative medicine.However, it is best to consult a specialist about this, who will suggest the right decision and warn against actions with serious consequences for health.
