Warts

Warts - Natural and Compounded Remedies for Warts

Warts are small, generally benign skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). While many warts are harmless and may resolve on their own, they can be persistent, spread easily, and cause discomfort or embarrassment. At Newtons Compounding Pharmacy, we offer a range of natural, homeopathic, and custom-compounded treatments to support the safe removal and prevention of warts, including stubborn plantar and genital types.

Understanding Warts and Their Causes

Warts can appear on various parts of the body, including the hands, feet (plantar warts), face, and genitals. They result from viral infection entering the skin through small cuts or abrasions. A weakened immune system, poor skin hygiene, or close contact with infected surfaces can increase susceptibility.

Genital warts are considered more serious and should always be evaluated by a healthcare professional, as they are linked to increased cancer risk.

Topical Natural Remedies

Newtons Pharmacy provides custom preparations and guidance on effective natural wart treatments:

Topical herbal creams for warts typically contain plant extracts known for their antiviral, keratolytic (skin-peeling), or immune-modulating properties. These natural formulations aim to help dissolve the wart tissue, inhibit viral replication (particularly HPV), and stimulate local immune responses.

Here are commonly used herbal ingredients in topical creams for warts:

1. Thuja (Thuja occidentalis)

Action: Traditionally used in homeopathy and herbalism to target warts.
Mode: May help modulate immune response and inhibit HPV locally.
Form: Creams or ointments with Thuja extract or tincture.

2. Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca alternifolia)

Action: Antiviral, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory.
Mode: May help break down the wart tissue and prevent secondary infection.
Form: Included in creams or diluted as an oil in a base.

3. Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis)

Action: Contains sanguinarine, a potent alkaloid with keratolytic and immune-stimulating properties.
Mode: Promotes sloughing of wart tissue; used with caution due to potency.
Form: Found in some traditional wart salves. Should be professionally supervised.

4. Greater Celandine (Chelidonium majus)

Action: Latex from the plant has antiviral and corrosive effects on warts.
Mode: Traditionally applied directly or included in ointments.
Form: Creams containing celandine extract or sap.

5. Garlic (Allium sativum)

Action: Antiviral and immune-modulating.
Mode: Allicin, the active compound, may interfere with viral replication.
Form: Garlic extract or oil in a topical cream base.

6. Green Tea Extract

Action: Antioxidant and antiviral.
Mode: Shown to have anti-HPV effects; commonly used in anogenital wart treatments.
Form: Found in certain topical products (e.g., sinecatechins cream in conventional medicine).

7. Calendula (Calendula officinalis)

Action: Anti-inflammatory, promotes skin healing.
Mode: Supports recovery after wart removal and soothes irritation.
Form: Often used in combination creams for skin repair.

Newtons Herbal Wart Cream
With Thuja, Celandine & Hypericum in a Vegetable Sorbolene Base

Usage Guidance:

Apply directly to the wart once or twice daily.
Occlusive dressing may improve absorption.

Some strong herbs (e.g., bloodroot) should be used cautiously or under professional supervision.

Vitamin C – 1,000 mg, three times daily to support immune response.
