Warts

Choose a remedy: Choose based on the remedy that most closely matches your symptoms.  

Dosage:  6C every 12 hours for three weeks.  

• If symptoms improve significantly before the three or four week period, stop taking the remedy. 

Notes: 

• If your body brings more warts to the surface after starting a remedy, this is normal.  They will soon disappear as the remedy continues to work.
• Below are some of the more common remedies used for warts (there are too many to list) depending on the unique traits of the person.  If you get no improvement after a well-selected remedy, consult a professional homeopath to help get to the root of the problem.
