Natural remedies for wart removal use common household ingredients and are favored for their simplicity, though “scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of some of these methods is limited.”

Apple Cider Vinegar: Its acetic acid “helps break down the tissue that forms the wart.” Soak a cotton ball in vinegar, apply overnight, and repeat daily until it fades.

Garlic: With “antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial properties,” garlic can fight wart-causing viruses. Apply crushed garlic on the wart, cover for a few hours, and repeat for two weeks.

Banana Peel & Tea Tree Oil: The peel’s enzymes may “help dissolve the wart,” while tea tree oil offers “antiviral and antiseptic properties.” Apply nightly with a bandage; dilute the oil if irritation occurs.

Aloe Vera & Duct Tape: Aloe’s malic acid can “burn away the tissue of the wart.” Duct tape therapy “suffocates the wart”—cover it for six days, soak, scrub gently, and repeat.

Patience is essential, as “natural remedies usually take time.” Stop use if irritation occurs, keep the area clean, and “consider consulting with a healthcare provider” for painful or stubborn warts. Results vary, and medical treatment may be needed if home methods fail.
