Such benign neoplasms on the skin, such as warts and papillomas, can appear in any person, regardless of his age and gender. They look pretty unattractive, and sometimes they cause discomfort. This article provides information about well-known to many, including citizens, weed - celandine. Against warts, it acts efficiently and fairly quickly.
Causes of Warts
It was once believed that warts appear after "close communication" with toads and frogs. Modern dermatologists have rejected this claim. It is scientifically proven that the occurrence of these neoplasms on the skin causes the human papillomavirus. They infected up to 80 percent of the world's population, since it is very easily transmitted by both domestic and sexual routes.
With strong immunity, the virus is not able to activate, and when weakened, it easily multiplies and forms papillomas and warts on the skin. As a rule, they appear on the arms, legs, neck, face, less often on the genitals.
Traditional methods and methods for removing warts
In official medicine, various methods have been developed for removing warts:
- Chemical method. Warts are burned after applying special substances to them.
- Laser treatment. An effective and widespread method. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so in one session you can get rid of ten neoplasms.
- A liquid nitrogen. Cryodestruction is a method that does not require anesthesia, but is used only in a hospital. The procedure is rather painful, small scars may remain.
- Electrocoagulation is a thermal effect on a wart by a directed electric discharge.
- Folk methods. Perhaps they are not so effective and the treatment, as a rule, is longer, but patients quite often resort to them for a number of reasons. Someone believes that the above methods are traumatic, painful, have contraindications, and someone using plants from warts is attracted by the lack of financial costs.
Celandine Description
To understand whether it is possible to remove warts with celandine, you should learn more about this plant. Celandine (or warthog) is a dicotyledonous oligotypic plant that belongs to the Makov family. The plant is considered weedy and is not cultivated agriculturally. Widely distributed in temperate countries. In Russia, it occurs along roads, in personal plots and forest glades.
Celandine has a short rhizome of cylindrical shape and a thick rod root. The tops of the branched stem in May-June are covered with bright yellow flowers. They are located on long pedicels and gather in small umbrella inflorescences. Flowering plants lasting until September. It was during this period that celandine against warts and papillomas is most effective. A broken or mown bush grows quickly and blooms again.
The peculiarity of celandine, which helps to easily distinguish it from other plants, is the juice of bright orange color, which stands out on the fracture of any part of it. It is this celandine juice from warts and papillomas that is used by traditional healers. It has a mild anesthetic property, so the removal procedure is painless, although you must take into account the individual reaction, which can be different.
Composition
Celandine against warts and papillomas is effective due to its chemical composition. Some substances included in it are poisonous. Among the toxic components are alkaloids, of which there are more than twenty in the warthog sap. In large doses, they can cause convulsions, hallucinations, anticholinergic syndrome, respiratory failure, and even coma. The alkaloids of this plant, which are delivered in small doses to the body, have an antispasmodic, analgesic and sedative effect.
In addition to alkaloids, celandine juice contains organic acids, as well as a small amount of essential oils. These substances destructively affect the tissue, which allows the use of celandine from warts and papillomas. This is a long-standing and time-tested method of traditional healers.
Researchers did not come to a consensus, answering the question why the burning out properties of this plant produce such an effect. Some of them believe that the alkaloids that make up the juice are to blame. Others argue that the reason lies in the reaction of the immune system to this remedy.
Preparations prepared on the basis of celandine contain phytoncides - natural antibacterial agents that effectively fight infectious diseases. The plant juice contains a large amount of vitamins (C and A), which help strengthen the body, strengthen immunity, and prevent many diseases.
