To remove warts
Fog milk
According to Nina Roos, a dermatologist, fig milk is a common grandmother's trick to control warts. This acts as a “baging acid” because of the fruit sap, which is a very irritating substance. A study published by The International Journal of Dermatology attests to this, the effectiveness of fig milk against warts is thought to be due to some of its enzymes.
For this tip, it is recommended to remove the juice from the fig leaves by cutting them in half and then apply it to the warts. For optimum effectiveness, it is recommended to repeat this operation when waking up and in the evening, before going to bed.
Cheidoine is a weed, also known as wart grass. Characterized by a yellow flower and swallow-like leaves, it grows mainly in the wild. According to the Allodoctors website, its action is due to its content of coptisin, an alkaloid with antimitotic virtues that will oppose the cell proliferation of the papillomavirus responsible for warts.
To use the keradoine, sink its stem and then apply the collected juice to the wart. Because of its rather pronounced smell, it may be useful to cover it with a plaster. Namely, the supir of the helix is corrosive and must therefore only be applied to the protuberance.
