Guide to natural cures for Genital Warts

Genital warts:
Genital warts, also known as human papilloma virus (HPV), are estimated to affect between 40 to 80 percent of the adult population in the United States. HPV is extremely difficult to detect and may often be present without symptoms, making it one of the most challenging sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) to effectively treat. One of the reasons genital warts are so difficult to treat is that they are also difficult to detect, since the vast majority of people affected by them show no noticeable symptoms.

Natural Cures:
Natural remedies for genital warts are prescribed by alternative systems of medicine like the Indian system of Ayurveda, native Chinese medicine, Native American medicines and so on. All medications based on these systems are generally herb based. The only problem with natural remedies for genital warts prescribed by alternative systems of medicine is that they are non-standardized. There is no regulating authority that certifies such medicines as free from harmful after effects.

Natural cures may contain ingredients like dried extracts of various herbs, glycerin extracts, alcohol extracts, licorice and so on. Herbs like goldenseal, lomatium, coneflower, milkweed, osha, thuja, etc., are used in the preparation of natural remedies for genital warts. Yellow sulphur powder, bacon grease, apple cider vinegar and radishes are a few other items used for topical applications. There are quite a few creams prepared with natural ingredients that are available in the market. Topical application of these creams helps some patients. The effects of natural remedies for different people are different.
