Plantar warts... - 11/17/14 11:01 PM

Well I do lots of walking. And for some reason I've been plagued with a plantar wart on each foot. Soaking the foot in Epson Salts helps. And rubbing the juice from an Aloe plant, and lemon juice, and applying liquid Vitamin C also help.
Just saying...

I used to get those years and years ago, but I don't remember what I did to get rid of them. Sounds like what you're doing is working.

It is. According website info they take two years to get rid of.
The one on my left foot cleared up in months. Still working with the right foot to get that cleared up. They're aggravating little critters. lol...

I've had plantar warts, so I know they can make walking painful. The first one I got when I was in high school, and my doctor removed it. Not sure if he chemically burned it out, or what.

Later on, I have been lucky enough to have them just die off. don't know what I've done to kill them off -- but you might be on to something with the Epsom salts. I take a hot bath nightly to help relax my muscles so I can sleep better. And I use Dr. Teal's Epsom Salt Soaking Solution in the bath water...

Well that might be doing it. The one on my left foot just disappeared. I'm working on getting rid of the one on the right
foot. But I alternate all three solutions: Juice from an Aloe plant, lemon juice, and the liquid Vit. C. I wasn't sure if a combination of all three, plus the Epson Salt soaks, contributed to a successful treatment or what. But I am delighted something works. Don't want it burned off and don't want it taking 2 years to disappear, like some of the website indicate.
