Genital warts are sexually transmitted infection. They are soft grows on the genitals in both men and women caused by type 6 and 11 strains of Human papillomavirus(HPV). You are not alone if you have genital warts because it is very common. HPV which causes genital warts is not curable but the genital warts can be treated. Genital warts are harmless and they can go away on their own but it may take weeks, months or even years. It is not comfortable seeing warts on your genital and so you'll want to get rid of them within weeks. And you want to do so with home remedies, don't worry because you are at the right place.

Home remedies for genital warts have little or no scientific evidence to back them up but many individuals have had success in using them to treat their warts. It should be noted that, these home remedies will not kill the virus but will help clear the warts away. Below are 5 very effective home remedies for treating genital warts.

Garlic:
Garlic is used to treat viral, fungal and bacterial infections. Applying garlic extract to genital warts can help get rid of them. Thanks to the main component in garlic, allicin, which has microbial effects. Allicin destroys enzymes in harmful pathogen. You can buy garlic extract or crush up raw garlic clove and apply directly to the genital warts. Make it sit on the wart for sometime and wash it, repeat daily till warts are cleared. The garlic juice may cause skin irritation so becareful when using it.

Apple cider vinegar:
It can be used to treat genital warts at home because it works like salicylic acid. Salicylic acid is used to treat warts by peeling them away. Dilute apple cider vinegar with water and soak a cotton ball in it and apply it to the warts.

Vitamin C:
Vitamin C is essential for healing wounds and contribute to healthy skin tissue. It also has immune boosting properties which helps in fighting HPV. Vitamin C can be applied on warts and at the same time be taken orally. To apply on warts, crush up a vitamin c tablet and mix it with water to form a paste. Apply the paste directly on the warts. You can apply it in the evening so you can leave it on overnight.

Orange peel:
Orange peel is also another genital warts remedy. It is very effective but there is no scientific data to back it. To use the orange peel, first squeeze the peel to get the juice and rub it on the warts. It is uncomfortable because of its tickling sensation but it is worth it. The orange peel will darken the warts and they will eventually fall off within two weeks after using if done daily.

Banana peel:
Banana peel has potassium in it and some people have come out to say it is really effective on warts. Rub the inside of a banana peel on the warts daily till they are cleared.

You can use more than one of the above home remedies for genital warts at the same time. I actually know someone who used garlic, vitamin c and orange peel that really cleared the warts within two weeks. These home remedies are inexpensive but really work. But note that, clearing genital warts doesn’t mean you no longer have the HPV infection. Visit your doctor for further examination.
