Eating Garlic Can Eliminate Warts
By Lesa Bolt

In the movies we always saw a lady wearing a garlic necklace to ward off vampires. Well maybe that theory was not such a bad thought after all.

There has been some suggestion that garlic will help eliminate warts and possibly keep them from forming or coming back.

If you have a wart that you have been struggling with to go away and have tried numerous over the counter treatments and home remedies because you are not yet ready to see the doctor and have an expensive treatment that will take multiple visits over several months to remove the hideous growth, you may be in luck.

Before you make the appointment try one last home remedy.

Go to your local discount store that carries vitamins or a pharmacy store and get a bottle of garlic tablets. Make sure to get the kinds that will not leave you smelling like a clove of garlic yourself. The recommended dosage to remove a wart is 2 to 3 tablets a day. Check the label and ask a professional before taking but you may want to try this grandmothers remedy.

You can even try putting a little garlic mashed on the wart itself and cover with duct tape and leave on over night. Do this everyday for 2 weeks and see if it starts to get smaller and eventually goes away.

This is considered an old wives tale but there may be some truth to using garlic to remove a wart. It cannot hurt as garlic is not toxic. You may even want to try eating a little extra garlic in your regular diet especially if you enjoy garlic.
