Warts are small, noncancerous skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They can appear anywhere on the body—hands, feet, face, genitals, or under nails—and vary in size and shape. While conventional treatments include freezing, burning, or surgical removal, these methods can be painful and may cause recurrence.
Homeopathy provides gentle, non-invasive remedies that stimulate the body’s natural healing process to eliminate warts and prevent regrowth.
Types of Warts
- Common warts: Rough, raised bumps, often on hands and fingers.
- Plantar warts: Found on soles of feet, often painful.
- Flat warts: Smooth, flat-topped warts, common on face and arms.
- Filiform warts: Long, narrow growths around the mouth, eyes, or neck.
- Genital warts: Found on genital areas; require immediate medical supervision.
Why Choose Homeopathy for Warts?
- Painless and safe: No surgical or chemical interventions.
- Holistic approach: Strengthens immunity to fight HPV.
- Personalized care: Remedies selected based on type, location, and symptoms.
- Reduced recurrence: Targets root cause rather than just external growth.
