Warts. Yuck. Gross. Who wants them? Although, unfortunately they are things that we sometimes just get. Last year I found a little bump on the bottom of my foot that I discovered was a plantar wart. I was annoyed and grossed out. I’d had so many issues with my poor feet the last thing I wanted to find was a wart growing on them. But there it was, making itself known.

The last warts I’d had (also on my poor feet) were when I was a teenager and I’d gone to the doctor and had them burnt off with liquid nitrogen. Owch. And not completely successful as I had to go back for another treatment. I decided to see what I could do myself to deal with this wart.

A little time on Google searching natural solutions to my problem led me to the tried and true cure-all of apple cider vinegar. Seriously, I think that stuff can solve almost every problem! A little ACV on a part of a cotton ball and then placed on my wart, covered with medical tape and then duck tape to hold it all together and I was good to go. I had to change it daily, but within a week the top part of the wart fell off, and a few days later the part growing inside my foot also fell out.  

A year and a half later and it’s never come back!

Over the summer Jenna showed me a nasty old big wart growing by her knee. I wish I’d taken a picture of it. Suffice it to say that it was big and gross. I showed her the ACV trick and after the first day she was able to put it all on her leg herself. It’s been a week now and the top part just fell off, so now we have to wait for the bottom part to come out.

How cool and easy is that? No having to run to the doctor and have the pain of dealing with the liquid nitrogen (although the ACV does tingle a little bit), and no cost! Most importantly, a natural solution to an issue. No side effects at all!
