Plantars, genital and the more garden variety. All of these warts are caused by the HPV virus, regardless of their location and name.<\/p>\n<p>There are\u00a0two main types of warts we&#8217;ll discuss treatment options for in this post: plantars &amp; &#8220;regular&#8221; warts.\u00a0Plantars warts are one of the more common warts and, by definition, are only found on the feet while other varieties of warts\u00a0are\u00a0found elsewhere on the body.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Related: <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/essentialoilsanctuary.com\/14-romantic-essential-oils-for-your-love-life-sex-libido\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">14 Potent Aphrodisiac Essential Oils for your Love life, Romance, Sex &amp; Libido<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to note that if you are dealing with genital, anal or warts on the larynx that you should seek medical attention. Those warts are a bit more precarious and need special care.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also good to know\u00a0that sometimes what appears to be a wart\u00a0isn&#8217;t. It&#8217;s not uncommon for a person to think they have a wart, and treat it like a wart, only to discover it&#8217;s something else entirely &#8211; like a clogged sweat gland. A telltale sign of a genuine wart is black spots which can be found in the middle of the wart and are more present when the wart is dying.<\/p>\n<h2>4 Essential Oil Remedies for Treating\u00a0Warts<\/h2>\n<p>A good wart treatment works by stimulating the skin and immune system to fight off the wart virus. There are a lot of oils that will cause necessary stimulation and irritation to invoke curative behaviors from the body. You also want your medicine to help the body expunge the infection by acting as an exfoliant.<\/p>\n<p>There are quite a few natural remedies for treating warts, essential oils being one of them.

I&#8217;m not going to say don&#8217;t do it yourself, but be warned that it can be bloody and painful.

You might already know this so I didn&#8217;t want to bore readings with it at the beginning of the post. But if you want to understand warts better, read on!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What causes warts?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Warts are benign growths that are the result of a viral infection by certain strains of the HPV virus.<\/p>\n<p>There are many types\u00a0of the HPV virus (Human Papillomavirus) &#8211; and only a few of those varieties cause warts. Other non-wart causing strains of HPV can lead to conditions like cancer and genital warts.<\/p>\n<p>We\u00a0develop warts once the HPV virus enters our skin. It usually does this through small cuts or scrapes.\u00a0Once it finds it&#8217;s way into our body it infects our skin cells. From there it typically lays dormant for a month or two before rearing its ugly head.<\/p>\n<p>Warts most commonly occur on hands, fingers, face, elbows, knees, and feet. But can pop up in many places.<\/p>\n<p>Related:<a href=\"http:\/\/essentialoilsanctuary.com\/5-essential-oil-recipes-for-dry-cracked-and-flaky-skin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> 5 Essential Oils for Dry, Cracked &amp; Flakey Skin<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>How do we Get Warts?<\/h3>\n<p>As soon as a person is infected with the wart-causing HPV strain they are likely to start developing warts.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s estimated that 7-10% of the population in the US is infected with these wart-causing HPV strains. The virus can survive many months without a host.<\/p>\n<p>Infection happens\u00a0when the virus gets transmitted from an infected person to a new host.<\/p>\n<p>These viral transmissions typically occur from walking on public surfaces like showers or swimming pool floors. The moisture helps the transmission.\u00a0The virus attacks the body via cracks in the skin. It only needs a tiny cut or abrasion in the outermost layer of skin to get inside.<\/p>\n<p>If you frequent pools or other public places it&#8217;s highly recommended that you wear some <a rel=\"nofollow\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1FIL8aB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">shower shoes<\/a> in the locker room and showers and don&#8217;t remove them until it&#8217;s time to get in the water.<\/p>\n<p>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/essentialoilsanctuary.com\/best-diffusers-for-large-spaces\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">3 Best High-Capacity Essential Oil Diffusers for Large Rooms<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Prevention<\/h3>\n<p>Warts are viral and once you have the virus you&#8217;re going to be at risk for developing more warts in the future.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to prevent future warts your best bet is to ramp up your immune system and a result suppresses the virus from developing into new warts.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some immune system boosting ideas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Develop a healthy sleeping routine with plenty of shut-eye.<\/li>\n<li>Lower chronic stress levels.
