Warts…

They are small skin infections caused by HPV (human papilloma virus) that are generally harmless, but incredibly unattractive.

I am one of the many unlucky people who get them. Growing up I had them often, and I would always get them frozen off by a dermatologist.  I can only imagine the hundreds of dollars my parents spent trying to  get rid of those things.  No matter how many times I tried, they just kept coming back.

A few years back I was fed up and wasn’t at a point of being able to shell out more money.  I decided it was time to take matters into my own hands.  I had some Bragg’s apple cider vinegar and decided to give it a go.  ACV works wonders for the body in so many ways (we will be talking about that soon!), and to no surprise it took care of the warts!  Here is what I did:

What you need:

• Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar  (ACV)
• small sterile pad or cotton ball
• Band-aids

What to do:

• Clean the wart area with soap and water and let completely dry.
• Meanwhile, fold the sterile pad to be a little larger than the size of wart and soak in the ACV.
• Place on wart and cover tightly with band-aid.
• Then you wait.  While you wait I would recommend changing the pad and band-aid daily.  After 3-4 days the wart will turn black and the area will be sore.  Continue the regimen and after a few more days the wart will fall off.

Apple Cider Vinegar wins again!
