The papilloma virus

Warts are caused by the human papilloma virus, of which there are over 70 subtypes. This virus ensures that the skin cells multiply very quickly, so that benign ulcers develop that are not dangerous, but contagious and annoying.
When a person gets this virus, they usually have a weak immune system that has been unable to stop the virus.
The virus is latent in our organism and can break out at any time if our body’s defenses are weak. Because of this, there are people who keep showing up with warts.
Apart from visiting the doctor, we recommend that you strengthen your immune system. You should also eat a healthy diet, lead a balanced life, exercise a lot, and avoid unhealthy habits.
Take an echinacea regimen twice a year. This medicinal plant strengthens the immune system. However, only take this plant as a cure, otherwise it may lose its effectiveness.

How is Echinacea used?
- Take the remedy for three months. Then stop for 15 days and start a month-long regimen.
- Maintenance dose: 2.5 g per day.
- If you have a particularly weak immune system, it is worth taking 5 g of the product daily.
- If the infections become more frequent, double or triple the maintenance dose until the infection subsides.
- If the infection persists, you should continue the high dose (5-7g) until the infection has completely subsided. You can then take the normal dose.
Notes: Children under three years of age should not take the product. When taking caffeine and immunosuppressive drugs at the same time, there may be interactions. People with allergy to daisies should be careful.
Natural remedies for warts
Aside from medical treatments and the ability to boost your immune system, there are also some time-honored home remedies that can help remove warts. These can be practiced at home.
Milk from green figs
When you pick fresh figs, a white, creamy milk comes out of the stem. Put a drop of this white liquid on the wart and repeat this process several times. This substance will help you “burn” the warts one by one.
