Celandine as a remedy for warts

how to remove a wart with celandine

Celandine belongs to the poppy family and reaches up to one meter in height. This medicinal plant is capable of curing many diseases. People also call celandine "warthog".

Experts believe that the appearance of warts is caused by the presence in the body of HPV, the human papillomavirus. It is transmitted by contact and sexually.

If a person has good immunity, the virus bypasses it. But in a weakened organism, it rapidly multiplies, 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 removed, but this is fraught with their enlargement and they spread throughout the body.
