Guest guest Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Hey everyone...I have been raw off/on for about a year, but for the last 3 months have been 99% with hardly any slip-ups!! I feel wonderful, have boundless energy, and my skin is glowing more than ever...the only problems is I've suddenly developed warts on my hands the last couple weeks. I've never had warts before and I'm grossed out! What causes this to happen? Do you think it's a way my skin is detoxing? And finally, are there any home remedies for these nasty bumps? I would appreciate any insite/experience form the group!! Thanks! rawjules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hah! this is interesting, because I just got wart remedies from a book my mom ordered recently. In answer to your first question - warts are from a virus. That means you touched a wart, or you touched someone who had touched a wart, or ou touched somewhere a wart had touched, or .... you just got warts!!! It is not a detox symptom. It is a contagious thing. Anyway, here are some natural de-warting techniques: 1 - Put Vitamin E oil on the wart daily. Do it until the wart goes away. May take several months. Keep the faith, baby! 2 - Take an extremely ripe banana (where the skin is black). Remove a small square of the black banana peel and place it on the wart. Cover with gauze and tape. Repeat each night for a week. (I would keep the black skin in the refrigerator or the freezer -- and defrost!) 3 - Crush a clove of garlic. Put olive oil on the wart and then put the crushed garlic clove on top of it all. Cover with an elastic bandage. Repeat daily (you can reuse the bandage) The first signs of " working " are a tingling and/or a burning sensation. Then, after a few days, you may notice a blister. Just keep re-applying the olive oil and garlic clove. Keep the faith! These are old folk remedies. Old folk remedies get to be old folk remedies because they work. Be patient. Then, there is the remedy that an ND told me at Willner's, the natural pharmacy here: put thuja oil on the wart and cover it with a bandaid. Repeat every day until the wart goes away. I really hate warts, and I get them from time to time, so I am happy to have these remedies, which I will use! Good luck! Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 I've also heard to put an aspirin on a wart. Something about acedacylic (sp) acid is what works. Just remember Advil, Excedrin, and the like are NOT aspirin. Only aspirin is pure aspirin and can be used. Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried it for warts, but I know that, when my room-mate had shingles, and I did not have money, and I went to the herbalist's store (and she will NEVER give you advice -- smart woman - she is not a doctor, never mind that she has been there for at least 30 years), she admired a ring I was wearing that I had made, and I slipped it off and gave it to her, and she told me to grind up aspirin in warm water and have my room-mate " wash " the affected area with the solution (by " wash " , I mean " make the water/aspirin solution be on the affected area wetly and let it stay there and dry " ) It did help.
