What is aloe vera?
Aloe vera is a very common plant that grows in gardens and doesn’t require much care. It comes from North Africa and is easily grown, both outdoors and indoors.
There are over 350 known species of this plant, with elongated and fleshy leaves, which bloom once a year through a stem on which the flower develops.
Aloe vera is classified as a medicinal plant due to its significant therapeutic properties. Among the most outstanding, it is a powerful healing agent that promotes the improvement of skin warts.
In addition, it is very effective with burns, both those caused by contact with fire, and those caused by overexposure to the sun.
Steps to use aloe vera for warts
Warts on the skin can be aesthetically displeasing and annoying. In certain cases, they can cause pain or irritation, and it is advisable to consult a dermatologist before using home remedies.
However, if you want to use aloe vera to remove HPV warts, these are the steps to follow:
- Choose a leaf that is sufficiently developed so as not to harm the plant, ideally choose one from the outer part of the plant.
- Once the leaf is cut, you should remove the spikes and the outer layer of the leaf.
- Extract the pulp from the leaf. The pulp is gelatinous and is what contains the properties of aloe vera.
- Gently rub over the wart. You should repeat this same procedure daily.
Some people place the pulp on the wart and cover it with gauze for a certain period of time.
Another procedure can be extracting the gel from the leaf and moistening the wart with it. This way part of the aloe vera is wasted, although if it is more convenient for you, it is also an effective method.
Due to its medicinal properties, you can use aloe vera for warts that appear in delicate parts of your body. You can apply it in different areas of the face, such as eyelids or the mouth; on the hands or under the breasts, and even on the genitals.

Aloe vera, due to its medicinal properties, you can consume it to get rid of HPV and treat other diseases.
When consumed orally it is a powerful purifier, regulator, and toner of organs. Recommended for irritative gastrointestinal problems, and for infections like HPV, due to its properties to strengthen the immune system.
This is possible since aloe vera is a powerful antioxidant. It contains vitamins A, C, and E and components of vitamin B, in addition to minerals such as potassium, zinc, iron, magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus.
There are several possible ways to consume aloe vera:

Although it is known to have many therapeutic and medicinal properties, aloe vera has contraindications and can generate side effects. If you have diabetes, it can induce hypoglycemia. Also, it is a natural laxative and can cause stomach pain and diarrhea.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is not recommended to consume aloe vera. This plant has purifying, detoxifying, and laxative effects, which can cause contractions in the uterus and result in abortion. If you are breastfeeding, the latex present in this plant usually passes into the milk and can cause diarrhea in the baby.
What are warts and how are they produced?
Warts are small granular bumps that appear on the skin, preferably on hands and fingers. Some are darker because they contain small blood vessels with coagulated blood inside.
The appearance of warts on the skin is generated by a virus, which is transmitted through sexual relations or by touch or use of objects, garments, or makeup of an infected person.
Most common warts usually disappear on their own, although, after the virus is contracted, they can take up to six months to form.
The human papillomavirus or HPV is responsible. Of the more than 150 varieties of HPV, only some produce warts. Although it is a sexually transmitted virus, most of the time it is transmitted by the shared use of common objects.
Generally, warts appear on the hands, as they are the vehicle most used to take objects. The virus penetrates through small lesions in the skin of the fingers and is more frequent if you bite your nails.
These were some tips to help you know how to deal with HPV. However, there is much more you need to do if you really want to get rid of HPV and warts forever.
What you need to do is GET RID OF THE ROOT of the problem.
For that reason, I recommend you to look into Dr. Kirkland's story and how he was able to cure HPV and get rid of warts for good.
