Warts are formations on the skin of a viral etiology. In addition to being a cosmetic defect, they are also a possibility for the virus to multiply. They must therefore be removed. Among the folk remedies, celandine has proven to be the best for warts. Its action is based on the toxic substances contained in the composition. The plant is very effective in treatment, but it has a number of contraindications. In order to safely remove pathological formations, it is important to follow the instructions for use.
Greater celandine as a remedy for warts
Celandine belongs to the poppy family and reaches a height of up to one meter. This medicinal plant can cure many diseases. People also call celandine "warthog".
Experts believe that the appearance of warts is caused by the presence of HPV - the human papillomavirus - in the body. It is transmitted through contact and sexually.
When a person has good immunity, they bypass the virus. However, in a weakened organism, it multiplies quickly, as a result of which papillomas and warts appear on the skin (mainly on the face, arms, lower limbs and neck).
The lesions may not be able to be removed, but this is fraught with their enlargement and spread throughout the body.
There are several ways to remove warts:

- bitterness, resins, essential oils and saponins;
- tannins;
- phytoncide;
- toxic alkaloids (alocryptopin, chelidonin, coptisin, sanguinarin, protopin).

Folk remedies at home
Celandine recipes:

Then go through a meat grinder twice, squeeze the resulting mass with a dense material, put the liquid in a dark glass bottle (this is important) and tighten with a stopper. After a week, the juice begins to ferment. From this moment on, it is necessary to release gas from the bottle every day. This process should be carried out until the fermentation process is over (it takes about a week). Then the tool can be used. It is recommended to keep the bottle in the refrigerator.
- Extract.To prepare, add alcohol or vodka in the amount of 100 ml of juice per 50 ml of vodka or 1 liter of juice per 0. 5 liters of vodka. A remedy made according to this recipe can be used to treat warts all year round.

Since the cause of the appearance of formations is viral infection, the problem must be fully resolved.
Taking antiviral decoctions and infusions together with external influences make treatment with celandine more successful.

Alcohol tincture
Alcohol tincture is no less useful than decoctions. In some cases, its effects are even more effective, since the plants are not subjected to any heat treatment during the preparation process.
For boiling 2 tbsp. l. Crushed dry celandine is taken with 0. 5 liters of alcohol. It can be replaced with vodka or moonlight. It is necessary to insist the remedy for 2 weeks, periodically shaking it. Then strain and take orally. The duration of treatment is 1 month. Single dose - 15 drops.
Inlets

Treatment methods
