Folk remedies for warts
Examples of folk remedies for warts include:
- Putting a banana peel or garlic on a plantar wart at night.
- Rubbing a wart with a bean.
- Applying milkweed juice, lemon juice, castor oil, or vinegar to a wart.
- Washing a wart in morning dew.
- Wishing a wart away.
Although there is no scientific evidence that these methods are effective in curing warts, there is no risk in trying them.
