How to Get Rid of Warts Using Apple Cider Vinegar FAST

Apple cider vinegar is a bit of an unsung hero in the world of home remedies. Aside from adding it to your salads, pickles, marinades, and jellies, you can also use it for a whole host of purposes around the home, including as a hair treatment, a hiccups cure, a mild sunburn reliever, an anti-itch agent, a home cleaning solution and – as we’ll be discussing in this video – a completely natural wart treatment.

Apple cider vinegar, or cider vinegar, is vinegar made, as the name suggests, from fermented apple juice. To produce apple cider vinegar, apples are first crushed and then squeezed to emit their juices. 

When yeast is added to the apple juice, the sugar ferments to produce alcohol – hence the name “cider”. A special strain of bacteria is then used to turn the alcohol into acetic acid, which is what gives the vinegar its distinctive taste and smell.

If we look more generally at vinegar, studies have found that it can kill a number of types of bacteria. One study even found that vinegar can fight against the bacteria that cause E-Coli. 

While more research is needed into how apple cider vinegar may specifically fight bacteria, it’s easy to see why many people have seen success using the kitchen staple as a home remedy in the past.

The biggest benefit of apple cider vinegar for warts is that it’s an entirely natural home remedy. If you’d rather avoid over-the-counter medications, apple cider vinegar offers a simpler solution. It’s also the sort of product that most of us have in our kitchen cupboards, meaning you won’t need to pay a penny to use it.

Apple cider vinegar might have proven to be an effective home remedy for removing warts, but it doesn’t come without its side effects. For starters, you’ll need to be comfortable with your wart displaying several unpleasant signs that the vinegar is doing its job during your 1 to 2 weeks of cotton bud application. 

Expect your wart to turn black, which is a sign that the skin cells around the area are dying. Don’t be alarmed – this is what is supposed to happen before the wart falls off.

You should also be aware that even though apple cider vinegar is only a mild form of acid, it’s still an acid. This means that it may cause burning or visible damage to your skin. Don’t apply apple cider vinegar to sensitive areas of your body, like your genitals or your face.

In more serious cases, applying apple cider vinegar to your skin might lead to more serious damage, like bleeding, cracked, open areas of skin, severe pain, and significant swelling. If you experience any of these side effects while using apple cider vinegar on your warts, stop treatment immediately, rinse the area thoroughly, and visit your doctor at the next available chance.

As a mild, at-home wart treatment, apple cider vinegar might be the answer you didn’t know you were looking for. If your warts aren’t going away in their own time, it’s worth using apple cider vinegar to banish them as quickly as possible.
