Wow, I am so amazed my wart is practically gone! I had a deep plantar wart (I think that's what it's called?) on the bottom of my foot for the longest time (years). I started applying the castor oil at night before bed putting a band-aid over it back in July and it is just about gone. It's taken a while but I've had this thing forever and it was deep and had those nasty black seed things in it. I am amazed!
Thanks for the info, I am going to try it as I have what I think they call a planters wart on the bottom of my foot and it it as hard as a rock amd very painful. I have been cutting it down for years (Dr. cut it down for years, I took over myself). It never goes away though, only returns even harder and sorer. I don't have black seeds in it though so I am not sure if it is the same thing. I hope this works, it would be heaven if left and stayed away forever.
I used to have warts, and didn't know about the castor oil thing, so went to the doctor asked him to freeze it with freezing gas. and doctor did it. it scalded the wart, and I had a scald on my hand and it was gone after 2 weeks, no more warts
I'm sure it will work for you too! It might take a while like it did me but I didn't mind since it was getting better everyday. I did scrub my feet while soaking in an Epsom Salt bath about 2 times per week as well. Let us know how it goes.
Hi Trudy! I didn't wear a bandage during the day but I think if you did and kept castor oil on it all the time, maybe taking a days break here and there, that it would work much faster. I only used it at night and then took it off before I got in the shower.
I had this large wart on my big toe that has been very stubborn and tricky. (Actually, I asked an MD about it years ago and he told me it was just a callous. You can imagine my shock when a new MD told me that it was a wart! ...good grief! ...all of those wasted years that I could have been trying to do something about it.) I have been diligently working on this wart now since the beginning of this summer.
Anyway, I had been trying to follow this new MD's instructions. She told me to get a product called Duofilm with a paint brush. There wasn't such a product at my drug store, so on the advice of my pharmacist I picked up Compound W with a paint brush, as it was to contain the same main ingredient as the Duofilm--SALICYLIC ACID.
Within a week, I got my wart down from looking like a big cauliflower to the point where I could see what looked like three individual warts. (It was amazing how much better I was able to walk. I then realized how much this wart had been throwing my body out of alignment.)
At that point, I purchased a product called Wartner. It is supposed to have more of a freezing action, instead of being an acid. After one application, you were to wait 10 days and it would just fall off. Well, my warts were imbedded, so I was interested in seeing how it would "fall off." At 10 day point, I was taking a bath and felt a little knob on my foot, so I tore it off. To my surprise, it was my wart. When I took a closer look there was still some residue inside the wart, which I dug out. After that there was some bleeding and I put a bandage on it. Several hours later I took the bandage off, only to find it was full of pus! I left the bandage off and by the next day, it healed up very nicely.
My second wart, I removed using a Duofilm wart removal patch kit, because I was having problems using the paint brush since my wart was so much smaller. (The Wartner product didn't seem to be working on these other warts.)
I actually thought that all my warts were gone, until I went for my very first pedicure and the esthetician told me that I should continue on with the wart treatment, because she could still feel a wart through her gloves.
I should mention that I had been following the advice of my MD and was using cheap emery boards (from the Dollar Store) during all of this time, filing the warts down as much as possible.
Towards the end of all of this, while using an emery board, the last wart started to bleed. At that point, I wasn't sure if I still had a wart or was now dealing with scarred skin tissue.
Anyway, because the skin was raw around my wart (due to the acid treatment--the Duofilm patch had moved from the wart during the day when I was wearing shoes), I thought I would try another approach. That was when your post came through on my email list.
I applied cold pressed castor oil that very night and was shocked the next morning to see how much it had healed. However, when I took a bath later that evening it looked just as raw as ever. So I reapplied the castor oil and within a day, it was looking better (although not as good as before I took the bath). All this week, I have been using cold pressed castor oil, along with thuja, tea tree and oregano oils, grapefruit seed extract and colloidal silver. I have tried to avoid getting my foot wet when I took a bath.
Today my wart looks good, but I can still feel a bump under the skin. I am reluctant to file it down for at least another week, as I am hoping that new skin will grow in the areas where the acid had taken off layers of skin. If you were to look at my foot, you wouldn't be able to even see any warts now; however, if you touch my big toe, you can feel a little bump.
As per my MD's instructions, I had been using duct tape throughout the past few months, as well.
I'm going to continue on with my cold pressed castor oil, thuja, tea tree and oregano oils, grapefruit seed extract and colloidal silver protocol. I am hoping that I will be able to finally get rid of this wart once and for all.

Gosh, what a pain! I went through all of that too when I was younger....the Duofilm, Compound W and the freezing. Not too fun. I think if you keep using the castor oil and other ingredients it will eventually go away. Mine isn't completely gone yet, but it is SO much better. I am still treating it, altho I've been lazy the last couple nights and haven't put any on. Stick with it and let us know how it goes.
I wound up putting the emery board to it tonight and it has improved even more. I'm quite sure that by next week when I file it down, there won't be anything there. One thing about filing at this point, I have to be careful because if I go too deep it will bleed. Tonight it really looks good.
I am thinking that even if I can't see or feel the wart any more, I will continue on with all of my alternative treatments for a couple of months, because I have read several reports where people have used the salicylic acid only to have new warts return around where there old wart had been. So my thinking is, if I continue on using the alternative treatments after the wart has disappeared, perhaps I can avoid getting new ones back. What do you think ?
I have also determined to throw out all of my old shoes. I don't want to have to go through this again. This wart has cost me an arm and a leg! ;-)

? Like all natural remedies, less is more. Natural cures help your bodies defenses to fight off the disease, virus, boosting the immune system. You want to boost the system so it starts working harder, not just do all the work without the system's cooperation. Using 6 different things at once doesn't really tell you anything. What worked? Consistency is also most important for results. Keep the the faith and don't very from the routine you set for yourself. With 6 different ingredients how will you know what worked. I don't even agree with your Dr having you filing it. That's just injuring a symptom and making more work for your body to repair. Modern medicine deals with symptoms, not necessarily the cure. Your body will fight from the inside out. Think about it. Doesn't that seem like common sense. Brain power, body power and earth power work together.... Naturegal94
