Genital warts

[Guest guest]

Has anyone had any success treating genital warts with Chinese herbs?

External and internal formulas?

 

Thanks,

Here is a site that discusses dealing with herpes and genital warts.

Even mentions some Chinese herbs, but orients the reader to a whole

health approach.

 

Since garlic is a powerful viruscide, one can take a peeled clove

(perhaps score it slightly) and wrap in a bit of gauze tied together

with a string, and insert vaginally. Can be applied over night or

just for a couple hours at a time, as preferred or tolerated. One

would do this several days in a row. After removal one can then apply

vitamin A to the area affected, if accessible and/or douching with

yoghurt or intestinal flora in water.

Does anyone know when CM conclusively recognized the sexual

transmission of STDs? The earliest reference I can find is 1264 CE in

the Southern Song dynasty text ren zhai zhi zhi fang lun. After the

arrival of syphilis, there is a far more extensive description in the

Jing Yue Quan Shu, written in 1624 CE. But I don't know of any strong

references before these texts and I'd be interested to hear of more if

there are any. The Shang Han Za Bing Lun mentions sexual contact as a

means of spreading disease, but it appears to reference contagious

disease transmitted by close personal contact rather than STDs per se.
