Natural treatment for warts?
Natural therapy
Warts (unless plantar warts) rarely cause any pain. So the reason why people want to be treated is because of its unsightly appearance and the infectious nature of HPV. Most of the allopathic physicians offer treatments like drugs, topical creams, laser or freezing off the warts. But these only shrink and remove the warts temporarily but they do nothing to address the underlying problem and do nothing to deter the disease from returning. Removal of warts is only a symptomatic treatment. The human papilloma virus (HPV) remains latent in the body and will again cause warts to re-appear under suitable environmental conditions. Many patients come to us saying that they had only 1 wart which they got lasered but now have 4! Infact some physicians believe that getting surgery actually leads to the immune system slacking off further when it comes to fighting off future attacks.</p>
