Guest guest Posted October 12, 2003 Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 Here are some natural cures for warts: - Vitamin E oil directly on (even for plantar warts). - Vitamin C directly on (powdered sodium ascorbate in a paste). - Take garlic/parsley tablets. - Warm Castor oil on gauze 3 times a day for 30 minutes - gone in 3 weeks. - Milkweed directly on. - Dandelion milk directly on. - Possibly any oil over warts cures them - cuts the air to the wart. Juice from skin of immature Black Walnut - 1 treatment per week for 4 weeks.
