Warts are ugly blemishes that appear on the skin and are caused by a virus called the Human Papilloma Virus, which can be found just about everywhere. The goal is to remove the virus to keep the wart from spreading and then remove the blemish.

Warts generally go away on their own as soon as the virus runs its course, but it takes time, sometimes years before the wart vanishes. As such, people are often searching for methods to speed up the process. There are quite a few natural wart removal methods which have worked for people over the years.

All  these possible remedies can be purchased from the grocery store, a natural health food store or a pharmacy.

Prevention May Be the Best Wart Remover

Ironic isn't it and ideological also but it is possible to consider prevention to be the best wart remover.  

We have seen that warts are caused by a virus called the human papilloma virus or HPV. This virus is contagious and you can get it from other individuals or contaminated places. 

We also know that children are more prone to catching the virus. More than likely they become infected because their school system is infected. Most likely children are more vulnerable because their immune system is not as fully developed as the immune system of older individuals.

Our immune system defends our bodies from such intruders as viruses and harmful bacteria. It is therefore very advantageous to learn how to strengthen your immune system and so be more able to fight the human papilloma virus as well as other harmful infections. This will reduce the chances of getting warts.

Try to minimize your intake of chocolate and coffee or any other beverage or food that contains caffeine. Eliminate refined sugars from you diet. Do not replace sugar by refined sweeteners since the latter may be in reality even more harmful.
