Warts can be a pesky issue, and I can totally understand the frustration with them popping back up even after treatment. From an Ayurvedic perspective, warts might indicate an imbalance in the body, particularly relating to the doshas Kapha and Vata, and treatment focuses on addressing these imbalances, while also boosting immunity.
Your call out on neem and turmeric is spot on—they’re powerful allies here. Neem is valued for its antiviral and antibacterial properties. You can make a paste from neem leaves and apply it directly to the warts. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes before washing it off. Doing this daily could help, although it might takes a few weeks to notice any significant change. Patience is key in Ayurveda!
Turmeric, another great option, known for its anti-inflammatory and healing properties, can be mixed with a little bit of water or honey to create a paste. Apply this paste regularly, and see how your skin responds.
Aloe vera gel is soothing and helps in preventing skin irritation around sensitive areas. It can be applied as is, directly to the warts.
Some people also swear by castor oil, mixed with baking soda, till it forms a paste. Apply it, cover with a band-aid, and leave overnight. It’s a bit anecdotal, but worth a try if you’re up for it.
In addition to these, you might want to look into boosting your agni, or digestive fire, as it plays a big role in your immune system. Trikatu powder (a blend of ginger, black pepper, and long pepper) is traditionally used to improve digestion and can be taken with honey once daily.
Diet is crucial too, consuming foods that pacify Kapha like fresh fruits and leafy greens. And definitely cut down on excessively sugary or processed foods.
For long-term prevention, a balanced diet rich in vitamin C and zinc keeps the immune system fortified. Plus, remember to manage stress through regular meditation or yoga, both super helpful in keeping your immunity maximized.
Just a last note, if anything causes irritation or discomfort, it’s good to cease it and try something else—listen to your body’s feedback! With persistence and time, this approach might bring you the relief you’ve been searching for.
