When do I have to go to the doctor?
In many cases, warts are not dangerous and can be subjected to the attempt of their own treatment. However, caution should be exercised, as warts can cause serious secondary diseases in certain places. To it the genital area belongs particularly with women, since the virus, which causes the thorn warts, can lead here to damage of the uterus.
However, these are no longer thorn warts, but the so-called genital warts. In addition, a doctor should always be consulted if the wart causes pain. Even if the immune system is weakened or if the warts are persistent, medical treatment is recommended.
Which alternative therapy can still help?
A possible alternative therapy method is the treatment with green tea. This tea contains, among other things, catechins and polyphenols that have antiviral effects. This means that the viruses that cause the warts can be fought.
The green tea can be applied directly to the warts in the form of a cream or ointment. It should be applied three times a day. In studies it has been proven that after a long continuous treatment, part of the warts could be removed.
However, green tea should not be applied to the mucous membranes. Acupuncture is also a possible alternative in the treatment of warts. Here the focus is on strengthening the immune system, which is weakened by the viruses in the body. The body’s energy flows are strengthened in acupuncture in several sessions, which can support the immune system. In doing so, various trigger points of the body are activated to achieve a balance of the body’s internal energy.
