    5 Tips – Home Remedies for Healing Warts

    Warts are typically found on the hands and feet and are very common.  They are caused by HPV (Human Papillomavirus) and are contagious if direct contact with the skin of the infected person is made.  It is also possible to get warts from sharing a towel, shoes or other objects belonging to an infected person.  They typically will disappear on their own after a few months, but can last for years in some cases.  There are many remedies for treating and curing warts.  Not all remedies will work for everyone so keep trying until you find the one that works for you.  Check out this list of Top 5 Home Remedies for Removing Warts.

    1. Tea Tree Oil: Treat the wart with undiluted tea tree essential oil.  Using a cotton swab apply the oil to the wart several times a day.
    2.
