It’s recommended to talk first with a doctor before taking any herbs or other alternative treatments, particularly if you also have other health conditions! Some herbs /treatments may interact with medicines that you are taking or may have side effects.

Like in herbs, there is also no evidence of alternative treatments for warts that work – though some sufferers said that they found benefits from these treatments.

Physical therapies

There are several choices, some of them include:

1. Acupuncture. This traditional Chinese technique can help relieve stress. For warts, it may help by stimulating the body immune system.
2. Hypnosis therapy. According to one study, it may be more effective than topical salicylic acid.

How about homeopathy?

Unfortunately, again it is also not confirmed yet whether it works for warts. According to two clinical trials, homeopathy was not better than placebo in treating warts.

Nevertheless, some professional homeopaths believe that some treatments in homeopathy can help. Before prescribing the most appropriate remedy for your warts, they usually evaluate your emotional, physical, and intellectual makeup.
