How to Get Rid of Warts

The Causes of Warts:
Warts are caused by a single virus, of which there is many strains. This virus is the human papillomavirus or HPV. This virus is one of the most prevalent infections in the world - it affects approximately 40% of all humans. Because of the warts that result from HPV, it is often times referred to as "the wart virus". Genital warts are the most known wart in association with this virus; however, all warts are a result of HPV. Each type of wart (common, plantar, flat, and genital) comes from a different strain. Common warts originate from HPV types 2, 4 and 7. Plantar's warts come from type 1, in the plantar area of the foot. Flat warts come from types 3 and 10 of HPV. Genital warts are a result of over 30 different types of the human papillomavirus.Wart Virus
Warts are actual viruses living IN the skin. Blood vessels feed the wart, and therefore the virus itself, keeping it alive and present. This is the reason that wart removal can often times be very painful - the wart is attached to capillaries and embedded in the skin. If you look at your wart, you will probably see little black dots inside. Those black dots are actually the clotted blood vessels feeding your wart. Yummmmm.

Warts are spread when a non-infected area of skin comes in contact with an infected area, either through direct contact or contact with skin cells shed from the wart. It is presumed that the uninfected skin must have at least a minuscule tear in order for HPV to be contracted. In other words, if you have a wart anywhere on your body, and that wart comes in contact with another person's damaged skin, that uninfected person could now have HPV. (This includes warts on the hands and feet.)

2. The Different Types of Warts:
Warts come in varying shapes, sizes, and appearances. Some are single bumps, while others form in groups. Following is a guide to the types of warts and what to look for when determining what type of wart you have.
* Plantar's Warts: A common wart that grows on the side or bottom of your foot. Because they are located on the bottom of the foot, they are usually flat and painful due to your body weight pressing down on them. The wart is actually a lot bigger than what you can see. If you push down on the wart you will see an area that is yellowish in color which is the area of the whole wart. These warts are very contagious because this skin is so easily shed from your feet. Also, the virus likes warm and moist environments, including the gym-shower floor, so they are spread to athlete's in the same manner as athlete's foot. Athlete's have the highest incidence of planter's warts, and diabetics are also susceptible to them.

* Flat Warts: These warts are small and smooth, with a round or oval shape. They appear in large numbers - 20 to 100 at a time - anywhere on the body. In children, these warts are most commonly found on the face. In men, they can be present within a beard, and in women, on the legs. Flat warts can spread quickly from cuts while shaving. Also, scratching the affected area can cause the warts to spread in a linear fashion.

* Genital Warts: Genital warts are spread through sexual contact involving the genitals, anus or mouth. They generally form as tiny, soft, flesh-colored bumps. They can become hard and rough and also develop a stalk. Sometimes multiple warts may grow resembling a small cauliflower. These warts are usually painless, and disappear after a couple months, but they are incurable; therefore they can come back again and again. For information specific to genital warts, see our article How to Get Rid of Genital Warts.

3. Wart Treatments:
Over-the-Counter Wart Cures

Lucky for you, most warts will disappear by themselves, but if you want to speed up the process, there are many over-the-counter products you could try. These are all either used to freeze (a mix of dimethyl ether and propane) or burn (salicylic acid) the wart off, which will destroy the cells containing the virus. Some of these include Compound W (gel, liquid, pad and spray), Dr. Scholl's (pads/discs, liquid), Wartner (pads, liquid), and Curad (pads). It is important that you DO NOT use OTC medications on facial or genital warts. These medicines are too harsh for these sensitive areas.

Home Remedies for Warts
There is a vast array of home remedies for warts to choose from;
* Duct tape. Cut a piece of duct tape to fit over your wart. Leave the tape on for six days, then remove it and soak your wart in water for a few minutes. Use an emery board or pumice stone to file the dead skin on your wart down. Dry the area over night then reapply another piece of duct tape in the morning. Continue this process until your wart is gone. This is believed to work because the irritation that is caused forces your immune system to fight off the virus.
* Garlic. Crush some fresh garlic, rub it directly on your wart, and cover it with a bandage. Apply new garlic every day and your wart will blister and fall off within as little as a week. Be careful not to get garlic on the surrounding healthy skin; it helps to apply petroleum jelly to the skin around your wart.
* Vinegar. Soak a cotton ball in vinegar and tape it to your wart with a bandage for at least one or two hours daily.
* Dandelion sapDandelion sap. Pick a dandelion from your yard, break the stem open and drip the sap onto your wart. Do this daily until your wart disappears. The sap will mildly irritate your skin, stimulating your immune system to get rid of the wart. Do not use dandelions that have been treated within the past few years with an herbicide.
* Vitamin C. Make a paste out of ground Vitamin C tablets and water. Dab it onto your wart and cover it with a bandage. The high acidity of Vitamin C will aide in eliminating your wart as well as helping to fight off the HPV.
* Banana or lemon peel. Cut a piece of the peel to fit over your wart and tape it on, inner side down before bed. The chemicals and oils in these peels will help dissolve and discourage warts.
* Papaya. Using an unripe papaya, make small cuts on the surface, allowing the sap to run out. Collect the sap and let it coagulate. Mix the thick sap with water and apply it to your wart morning and evening. An enzyme in the papaya will digest dead tissue.
* Basil. Tape crushed, fresh basil to your wart using waterproof first-aid tape. Do this daily up to a week and the virus-killing compound in the basil leaf will kill your wart.
* Castor oil. Rubbing castor oil on your wart every day will break it down, possibly because the oil keeps the wart moist, causing the tough skin to just come apart.
* Aloe vera. If you have an aloe plant at home, break a leaf off and rub the gel on your wart. Repeat this daily and your wart will disappear, perhaps due to the malic acid in aloe vera.
* Hot water. Because plantar warts are sensitive to heat, soaking your feet in hot (110- to 113-degrees F) water for 15 minutes per day can eliminate your warts.
(All the above home remedies, and many more can be found in the book Reader's Digest 1,801 Home Remedies: Trustworthy Treatments for Everyday Health Problems)
Curing Warts with Hypnosis & the Power of Suggestion
Hypnosis has been a proven method for getting rid of warts. In some cultures, the patient is told to look at the night sky and count nine stars for nine nights. This method may seem like superstition, however it is meant to stimulate the subconscious mind and create belief and expectation, thereby getting rid of the warts. This type of hypnosis works for children often times, by convincing them that a certain ritual will "magically" make their warts disappear. One example would be to develop an intricate "wart-curing" ritual with your child, such as rubbing a stone on the wart, then burying the stone, signifying the disappearance of the wart.
Adults who have lost much of the innocence of children must use other methods of hypnosis, or the power of suggestion. The placebo effect works with many illnesses. Suggesting that the wart is being showered by potent x-rays has, in fact, worked with one man in making his warts fall off the next day (Reader's Digest 1,801 Home Remedies, 2004).
The Deep Trance Now Hypnosis Program has recordings for sale that claim to be able to assist in the elimination of your warts.

Surgical Methods of Wart Removal
If none of the OTC, home remedies or hypnosis techniques work in eliminating your warts, there are some surgical procedures that your doctor could perform to remove your warts.
* Cryosurgery - freezing the wart off with liquid nitrogen. This freezes the wart and destroys the infected tissue, requires multiple visits and scarring is common. Very painful - the doctor may inject Lidocaine to numb the area.
* Electrocautery - using a high-frequency electric current (wire) applied to the wart. Very painful.
* Owie!Lasers - May leave scars, does not destroy the viral root and the warts may return.
* Surgical excision - cutting the wart off. Lidocaine is injected to numb the area. Scarring is common.
* Cantharidin Treatments - this chemical that comes from "blister beetles" is diluted and applied to the wart; a bandage is secured over the wart and can be removed in 24 hours. If the cantharidin is mixed with other chemicals, the bandage can be removed in 2 hours. Not immediately painful, but extremely painful 3 to 8 hours after application. The wart will blister. You must then revisit your doctor in order for him/her to remove the dead skin. If it is not completely removed, your doctor may repeat the procedure. This has varying degrees of success. (Beware: Cantharidin is as toxic as the most extreme poisons like strychnine. Only 10 mg ingested is fatal.)
* Imiquimod - a drug most commonly used in treating genital warts. May be prescribed for plantar or flat warts. Is applied to the wart every one - three days. The cream triggers the immune system response against the wart-causing virus. This may cause redness of the skin around the wart.
* Bleomycin - (an anticancer drug), Cimetidine (antihistamine) and Tretinoin (vitamin A derivative used in some acne preparations) - all could be injected in small amounts directly into a hard-to-remove wart.
Wart Prevention Tips:
How to avoid contracting warts:
Your only prevention from developing warts is to avoid the human papillomavirus (HPV). The following tips will help with this task:
* Wear Sandals!Wear sandals in public showers, locker rooms, and around pools. These warm, moist environments are ideal for viruses.
* Do not touch any warts on yourself or anyone else.
* Do not share socks, shoes, razors, or towels. Just because warts are not visible, the virus may still be present.
* Keep your feet dry. If your feet sweat profusely, wear socks that will wick the moisture away.
* Take extra care not to injure the soles of your feet. Warts grow more easily if the skin is broken or injured.By

The Wonder Properties of Pure African Shea Butter to remove marks and wrinkles.


The Origins of Shea Butter:  Shea butter is not butter at all, but the fat got from the Shea nut found mainly in sub Saharan Africa.  It is considered to be a cure all for a lot of ailments, especially skin ailments.  Most popular skin products do have Shea butter in its ingredients.  In a world that is so hung up on natural and being organic, the Shea butter gives the perfect solution.  Quite a number of countries do produce this product, but it is Burkina Faso and Ghana that contribute most of the produce.  These two countries are also the main exporters of Shea butter.  Most inhabitants of this region have been using Shea butter for ages, applying it on the skin, as hair oil, as a cooking medium, and even in homemade chocolate.  It is with the colonization of these parts of Africa that the rest of the world got to using the product.
Getting Shea Butter into the Jar- It is the Karite fruit that is primarily used for getting Shea butter.  The fruit has a soft outer flesh and a hard nut at the centre.  While the soft flesh is indeed eaten, the inner nut is further processed to give us the Shea butter.  The harvesting and extracting of the Karite tree produce is mainly a group activity around households; with mainly the women folk getting together to extract and make available the butter as a social gathering and activity.  With the unrefined oil that is the product of oil extraction, is further processed to give an easy to handle and easily stored butter or oil.  The problem with the cultivation of the Karite tree is that it is seldom acknowledged as a cash crop.  Most of the Karite trees grow in the wild and at random.  Getting around these scattered and spaced out trees takes a lot of effort and time.  Despite the value that the pure African Shea buttercommands in the international markets, no effort has been taken to get this sector organized and in a commercial manner.
Uses of Shea Butter:  The most common use that Shea butter is put to is as a beauty aid.  It is applied to the skin in its base form to soften and remove marks and wrinkles.  With the belief that the butter processes medicinal properties, it is often used in case of burns too.  In the days gone by, the Shea butter would have been used as a cooking medium, mainly to fry food material.  This has since been kept to a minimum as the price commanded by good raw Shea butter products wholesale does not allow the cost efficiencies to cook.  A very versatile type of oil, Shea butter does take its place in West Africa as a prime cash crop.

30 Tried And Tested Weight Loss Tips



With the exception of my first year away from home, when I packed on 30+ pounds in less than 6 months, I have always been on the slim side. Sure, my weight fluctuates between 3-7 pounds throughout the year, but apart from feeling like my clothes are too snug and my skin doesn’t fit when I’m at the upper end of my weight spectrum, I always tend to look the same to everyone else.

Which drives all of the women on my mother’s side of the family Insane.
But over the course of the last few months, as I’ve been wrestling with the very sudden and unexpected loss of my dad while simultaneously trying to juggle my busy life as a mom, wife, and blogger, I’ve seen a drastic change in not only my weight, but also my overall well-being.

I’m eating more junk food and drinking far too much wine, I’m not sleeping enough, my skin looks terrible, I have more wrinkles and grey hairs than I care to count, I’m extremely short-tempered, my clothes are getting snug, I don’t have the energy to go to the gym, and when I do workout, I do the bare minimum before dragging myself home for a beer and a bag of potato chips.
