Guest guest Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 I have to wonder about the safety of having duct tape adhesive in contact with the skin for " a couple of weeks " . If duct tape works, would not a regular adhesive made for contact with the skin? More natural approaches, from my book, are: Warts • Apply vitamin E oil to the surrounding skin, then crush a clove of raw garlic, place it on the wart, and cover it with an adhesive bandage. The raw garlic causes a blister to form, and the wart generally falls off within a week. Apply vitamin E oil to the area to help it heal. • Chop one raw onion in a dish, cover with salt and leave overnight. Apply the resulting juice to the warts twice a day, until warts disappear. • Cut fresh pineapple into thin slices. Apply to warts several times a day until they are gone. • Apply the milky juice exuding from the stems of figs and leaves. • Gently rub the wart with your finger for 15 seconds at the same time each day. Rubbing the wart stimulates blood flow to the area and prompts your immune system to fight the wart virus. Doing this at the same time every day trains your immune system to kick in on its own. • Apple cider vinegar. The best treatment for warts is prevention, and warts are usually a sign of potassium deficiency. Apple cider vinegar is high in potassium. , RSchl44964 wrote: > > The duct tape does work, the grey variety that is. It pulls the offending > material up and sticks to the tape.
