celandine as a remedy for warts

how to remove a wart with celandine

Experts believe that the appearance of warts is caused by the presence in the body of HPV - the human papilloma virus. It is transmitted through contact and sexually.

If a person has good immunity, the virus surrounds him. But with a weakened body, it multiplies rapidly, as a result of which papillomas and warts appear on the skin (mainly on the face, hands, lower limbs and neck).
