| suffering from molluscum contagiosum? Here are my recommendations! |
**Update: In North America and Europe molluscum contagiosum seems to have been occurring more frequently again recently. At least that is what my students and clients from these countries tell me. Molluscum contagiosum is caused by viruses, is contagious and appears as numerous small, nodular skin lesions. Children are particularly often affected.
I have already written about this topic in detail and have been able to help many clients successfully. But since I became familiar with the Banerji protocols and have seen with my own eyes the wonderful effect of the specific potencies and frequent dosing, I have slightly modified my own approach.
The Banerji method has not let me down so far and you should benefit from it too:
Antimonium crudum C6, one dose every other day until the warts have disappeared. If the warts recur, the treatment is repeated.
Should there, contrary to expectations, be no change (and I really mean no change), you can try the following alternative:
Thuja occidentalis C30 one dose, twice daily.
**The two remedies must not be taken at the same time.

Warts – ugly or not? No matter how they look, most people want to get rid of them as quickly as possible. Homeopathy offers a real alternative to common treatments. |
Warts – an embarrassing topic
This article was published in October 2015.
Warts are really only attractive if you want to dress up as a witch for Halloween. In real life these unsightly skin growths usually don't go down well.
Warts come in many forms: some are hard and pointed, others soft and raised. Some warts have stalks; some are painful and bleed, making feet, knees, fingers and/or the face less attractive. Most people find them disgusting.
No matter what form they take – people usually want to get rid of warts as quickly as possible.
Conventional treatments aim to freeze, chemically cauterise or cut out a wart. Each method offers certain advantages, but ugly and sometimes painful scars often remain. In the worst case the unwelcome guests simply grow back.
Warts are caused by viruses and provide important clues about the state of the immune system. So simply removing the warts locally does not solve the problem.
Warts can be indicators of deeper illnesses or of processes in the body that are being suppressed.
Removing a wart therefore does not by any means correct the underlying weakness.
Homeopathy goes deeper. It not only produces local changes, but helps to remedy the underlying problem.
During my time with the Banerjis in Calcutta I was able to follow the following treatment protocol:
- Antimonium crudum C6 taken together with Arsenicum album C200 every other day.
- In cases that do not respond to this treatment, Thuja occidentalis C30 is given, one dose twice daily. This remedy is best suited to soft, fleshy warts, which are often stalked.
The homeopathic remedy Thuja is obtained from the arborvitae, which belongs to the cypress family. The remedy is taken orally, but can also be applied to the wart. In my garden a huge arborvitae grows, from whose leaves I make my own tincture.
To make it, fill a screw-top jar (brown glass is ideal) with arborvitae leaves and add high-strength alcohol (vodka, brandy or wheat distillate). The mixture must steep for two weeks (as the old herbals already recommend), is then strained through a sieve and stored in a glass bottle (brown glass!) with a dropper.
The wart is painted several times daily with this tincture. With this tincture the wart is not frozen or chemically cauterised, but slowly recedes. This can take several weeks and in some cases even months, as some of my students report.
In any case it is a cost-effective alternative to the many chemical remedies you can buy in a pharmacy!
One caveat I would like to give you: some skin cancers look deceptively like a wart. If you are not sure, you should always consult your dermatologist before starting treatment.
Thanks to homeopathy, hopefully warts will soon be found only in the dressing-up box.
