Natural remedy against warts
The ingredients for this homemade formula are lemon ( Citrus limomum ), celandine ( Chelidonium majus ), and dandelion leaves ( Taraxacum officinale ).
Cut the lemon into pieces and add a tablespoon of salt. Also prepare an infusion of celandine and dandelion, in equal parts.
To apply it, it is available on the affected area of warts, holding with a gauze, avoiding touching the environment. After a few minutes, wash the area with the infusion of celandine and dandelion. Do not use this remedy in very sensitive areas.
The citric acid in lemon acts as an antiseptic and rubefacient, dries and burns the wart, causing it to soften and eventually fall off.
An alternative option is celandine latex, with which the warts are rubbed, protecting the entire environment with a layer of ointment or petroleum jelly, to prevent it from being irritated or damaged.
