⚠️ While garlic is a natural remedy, it’s potent and requires careful use. Follow these tips to ensure safe and effective treatment:
- Avoid applying garlic to broken, irritated, or sensitive skin to prevent discomfort.
- Perform a patch test on a small area of skin to check for sensitivity before full application.
- Keep garlic away from eyes, mucous membranes, or open wounds.
- Stop use if you notice excessive irritation or no improvement after 10 days.
- Store garlic mixtures safely, out of reach of children and pets.
Maximizing Your Results
🔑 Consistency is Key
To banish plantar warts, stick to the routine. Whether you choose the poultice, the soak, or a combination of both, daily application for 7–10 days is crucial. Pair these remedies with good foot hygiene—keep your feet clean and dry, and avoid picking at the wart to prevent spreading the virus.
For stubborn warts, consider alternating between the poultice and soak for a one-two punch. The soak softens the skin, making the poultice’s antiviral properties even more effective.
