Genital warts are a sexually transmitted disease and are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). There are approximately one hundred strains of this virus, thirty of which affect the genital area. Because a virus causes these warts they are extremely contagious. There is no cure for genital warts but there are many treatment options available to ease the pain, itch, and general discomfort that the warts cause.
Garlic
Garlic is a proven healer and can also help get rid of unwanted genital warts. Garlic can be taken orally to improve overall health and therefore, helping to get rid of genital warts. To take garlic orally you can eat garlic in your food, roast heads of garlic and eat the cloves, or take garlic oil. Another way to use garlic to get rid of genital warts is to crush one clove of garlic. The crushed clove can then be rubbed directly on the wart and the wart covered in plaster or a bandage that will completely seal the wart. This process should be repeated every day with a fresh clove of garlic. This home remedy is very effective in making the wart turn into a blister, which will generally fall off within one week.

Alternative Medicine for Cold Sores
|
Cold sores, also known as fever blisters, are blisters that appear around the mouth or surround the nostril area and are caused by the herpes simplex virus. Most people carry the herpes simplex virus but many people carry the virus and yet never get the sores that they can cause. Others that carry the virus may find that they have an outbreak quite frequently or just once in a while.
Aloe Vera plant
Aloe Vera has been used for centuries to heal injuries and irritations of the skin. To use Aloe Vera as an alternative medicine for cold sores, it can be applied topically using the gel from a plant, it can be applied in the form of lip balm, or the juices from the juice can be drunk. Aloe Vera plants can be purchased from most nurseries. They should be placed near a window to receive plenty of light and should be watered when the soil is dry to the touch. It is important not to give them too much water as this can dry out the plant.
