For topical treatment, consider using Garlic (Allium sativum), which has antiviral properties. You can crush a clove of garlic and apply the paste directly to the wart, covering it with a bandage for several hours. Neem (Azadirachta indica) is another potent herb with antibacterial and antifungal properties; you can apply neem oil or a paste of neem leaves to the affected area. Additionally, a mixture of Turmeric (Curcuma longa) and castor oil can be applied to warts; turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory and healing properties.
Internally, consider taking Triphala, which helps in detoxifying the body and improving skin health. Amla (Emblica officinalis) is also beneficial for skin rejuvenation and can be consumed in powder form or as a juice.
Incorporating regular detoxification practices, such as drinking warm water with lemon or herbal teas, can further support your body in eliminating toxins. If the warts persist or cause significant concern, it may be beneficial to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner or dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment options tailored to your specific needs. Regularly monitoring your skin health and addressing any imbalances can lead to improved skin clarity and overall wellness.

Yeah, warts can be pretty tough to deal with, especially when they’re spreading on the face. Usually, warts are caused by a virus, so it can be a bit tricky because the immune system plays a big role here. From an Ayurvedic perspective, warts are linked to imbalances, likely involving Kapha and maybe Vata doshas too. This can lead to stagnation and poor tissue health.
First off, you gotta keep the skin clean. Use gentle cleansers. Maybe consider a neem-based cleanser, because neem is great for its antiviral and antibacterial properties. Twice a day should be enough.
Topically, applying a paste of turmeric and sandalwood could help. Mix them with a bit of milk or rose water to make a paste. The turmeric is a natural antiseptic and, kind of antiviral, and sandalwood is cooling and soothing for the skin. Apply this paste to the warts and let it sit for about 20 minutes before rinsing off. Do this maybe once a day.
Diet plays a huge role too. Try to avoid foods that are oily, deep-fried, or heavy. They tend to aggravate Kapha. Instead, load up on fresh fruits, vegetables, and drink warm water throughout the day. This supports your digestive fire, or ‘agni’, keeping it strong to help your body fight off the imbalances.
An increase in fresh, green, leafy veggies can be beneficial. They help with detoxification. You might also consider having a bit of Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) daily, which can help boost immunity naturally.
Seeing a qualified practitioner could give you a more pointed direction based on your unique prakriti. If the warts are rapidly multiplying or causing discomfort, it’s really worth getting them checked by a dermatologist just to rule out any other conditions. It’s best to not take skin changes lightly.
