Guest guest Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Can someone recommend an herbal formula to treat plantar warts and/or to prevent reoccurance? One of my patients has had several painful warts removed and acupuncture has helped the lingering 'post-op' pain, but wish to give him something preventative. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Chinese Medicine , " " wrote: For treatment of an 'active' plantar wart, I taught my son to prick the skin overlying the wart with a sterile needle and to carefully apply the essential oil of Thymus vulgaris - neat - onto the broken /pricked skin. This should be done at least once a day. He's a damp, hot guy, who's had 'ordinary' warts as well. A dermatologist told him to supplement with Zinc and B group vitamins, and that seemed to work for his ordinary warts. Thymus vulgaris is a 'big gun' in the essential oil tool kit. I only use it for very stubborn infection/invasions. Don't allow it to get into the eyes or other tender areas. It shouldn't be used 'neat', but in the case of application to a very small area of skin such as this, it's usually ok. Discontinue if signs of irritation or sensitization occur. Please don't even think about ingesting it! Margi http://margihealing.wordpress.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I had great success with Thuja homeopathic ointment used in alternating conjunction with stridex acne pads. The salicylic acid in those acne pads is the key. Place one moist pad on the area and keep there all day, at night use the thuja ointment. Otherwise, plantar warts are usually due to an immune deficiency. Depending on where the warts are, you can determine the channels and organs involved in the deficiency and treat as such. Also keeping in mind the skin and Lung association, you can tonify the exterior via strengthening the lungs. ________________________________ Nancy Corsaro <eastwestacup Chinese Medicine Monday, July 20, 2009 8:01:49 AM Herbs for Plantar Warts Can someone recommend an herbal formula to treat plantar warts and/or to prevent reoccurance?
