- Warts can be difficult to eliminate and can take a long time before they are completely gone. Then again, sometimes they just seem to disappear overnight!
- Many people like to seek natural wart treatments before seeing their doctors.
- There are several essential oils you can use to help resolve the warts. Tea Tree, Lemon, Bergamot and
- Thyme linalool and Cinnamon leaf are affective against these growths too, but are used more as a last resort.
- The easiest home remedy for warts is simple. We recommend using Lemon oil first - apply 2 drops to the wart and apply a Band-Aid. Do this daily for a couple weeks. If you see no improvement; you may need to try Tea Tree next. Again, apply a couple drops and cover with a Band-Aid.
- Cinnamon leaf Thyme linalool should be tried last. Cinnamon leaf can be a skin sensitizer and so caution should be used. Thyme is very strong and can also cause skin irritations. These should never be used on children or the elderly.
- Cinnamon leaf and Thyme linalool should be mixed with carrier oil such as Jojoba.
- To 1 teaspoon of Jojoba add 10 drops Cinnamon leaf (or Thyme linalool). Blend well, then apply to wart and cover with a Band-Aid.
