Oregano essential oil has proven successful for removing skin tags and warts naturally but sometimes a good thing can be improved upon! Camp Wander Oregano Salve makes a hot essential oil application safer and easier to apply. First, a little science about warts - they're a virus. The common wart is actually an infection caused by the HPV (human papillomavirus). Everyday moments can introduce you to the HPV virus whether it's contact by handshake, keyboard, grocery cart or, direct skin contact - yes, warts are contagious. If HPV is present (there's at least 100 different forms) the virus can get opportunistic if there's a scrape or small tear in the skin. The virus initiates rapid cell growth on the surface of the skin and a wart is born.
Thankfully, there are natural remedies available and Oregano essential oil is one of the best because of it's powerful anti-viral properties, but there is one challenge, it's H O T. Pure Oregano essential oil can and most likely will cause skin irritation and a very real burning sensation if used undiluted. You never want to inadvertently get Oregano oil in your eyes either, trust me on this! If you're planning on eradicating a wart on your hand or a child's hand keep this in mind. Enter CW Oregano Essential Oil Salve, a better way to apply any topical essential oil applications. Essential Oil Salves are still very potent however, the pure salve base of organic, unrefined coconut oil, olive oil, beeswax, rosehip seed oil and non-gmo Kosher certified vitamin e will help to protect your skin from sensitivity while creating a very real synergy with the essential oil, supporting deeper penetration, providing essential fatty acids ["The usefulness of topical application of essential fatty acids"] and a higher anti-oxidant content to slow oxidation (aging). Better control of any essential oil application is superior too, there's no drops or carrier oil to mix, it's already done, spill proof and if you're especially sensitive to the strong aroma of EOs, you'll love the mellowed aroma of oil supported in a salve base.
Let a QTip be your magic wand... Twice a day, touch a QTip with CW Oregano Salve to any common wart or skin tag, there's no need to apply salve to any of the surrounding area, just directly on the wart or skin tag. The essential oil will be absorbed quickly and salve ingredients will absorb too but in the meantime, they'll protect the skin. Some people prefer to cover the wart with a small round bandaid but it's not necessary, strictly a personal preference! Within two weeks you should notice a darkening, this means the wart or skin tag is slowly dying off, the blood supply is reduced and that you're on the right track. I should mention that CW Oregano essential oil can be very successful for plantar wart removal too. Be sure to give Oregano a go before conceding to invasive procedures on the bottom of your feet which can heal very, very slowly. AND, Oregano can be double trouble for nail fungus! As long as you have the QTip waving, apply Oregano Salve to toenail fungus too.
