How to get rid of warts with essential oils?

No more burns or other painful treatments! Warts are caused by a virus, the human papillomavirus or HPV, which infiltrates the body via skin lesions. Warts are very contagious. It is therefore important to treat them as soon as possible to avoid infecting yourself or others. For this, there is nothing like a synergy of essential oils with powerful anti-infectious and dermocaustic properties that will burn the warts and destroy the virus.

Why these essential oils?

An anti-viral : the Mountain Savory

The Mountain Savory essential oil is added to the synergy for several properties.

First of all, it is an excellent anti-infectious thanks to the majority presence of phenols (carvacrol + thymol) which are among the most active molecules against viruses. It will be thus very effective against the warts which appear following a cutaneous infection related to a virus.

Moreover, these molecules reinforce the immune system and enable it to defend itself better. To finish, the presence of paracymene makes it cutaneous analgesic. It will thus calm the possible pains related to the warts.

Tea Tree to sanitize wounds

The Tea Tree essential oil is present in the synergy for its effectiveness against infected wounds or those at risk of infection. By sanitizing and healing the wounds, the risk of wart appearance will be limited. Indeed, the virus responsible for the warts generally infiltrates in the organization through wounds like a simple cut.

Moreover, this essential oil is a powerful anti-infectious by the action of terpinen-4-ol, monoterpene alcohol. The terpinen-4-ol will destroy the virus and will thus reinforce the action of the phenols against the virus. Indeed: several components having the same goal will have an action more effective than each component acting separately!

Cinnamon to increase the anti-infectious power

The essential oil of Cinnamon is essential because it complements the others and reinforces the anti-infective property of the synergy. Indeed, since warts are very stubborn, it is necessary to have several powerful essential oils to get rid of them.

Moreover, the molecules responsible here for the anti-viral action are aromatic aldehydes, molecules which are not present in the other essential oils of the synergy. The addition of all these molecules with different modes of action increases the effectiveness of the mixture for the destruction of the virus.

An antiseptic: Lemon

The Lemon essential oil is added to the synergy to add a previously non-existent property: it is antiseptic.

The limonene present in strong quantity (56 to 78%) will prevent the development of the virus and thus to reduce the risks of a possible relapse and the reappearance of the wart. It will also allow to limit a contamination on another part of the body. It was even clinically proven that the healthy human cells became more resistant to a virus after a treatment with essential oils.

The Clove burns the wart

The Clove essential oil is essential in this synergy to fight the virus responsible for the wart. It is composed of phenols, molecules that have the highest rate of effectiveness against viruses. Thanks to their dermocaustic property, they have the ability to burn the warts and destroy the virus. Eugenol here is considered the mildest of the phenols, so it is suitable for children (for this specific problem), while remaining effective.

Moreover, it is a powerful analgesic often compared to lidocaine (commercialized local anesthetic). It will thus make it possible to relieve the potential pains related to the wart. It will block the release of neurotransmitters (chemical molecule which ensures the transmission of messages) and thus decrease the sensitivity to the pain.
