Ingredients
- 1 fresh garlic clove (peeled and crushed)
- A small piece of cotton or gauze
- Medical tape or bandage
- Optional: a drop of coconut oil (for sensitive skin)
Instructions
- Prep the Garlic:
Crush one garlic clove to release the natural allicin, a powerful compound with antiviral and antibacterial properties. - Apply to Affected Area:
Place the crushed garlic directly on the plantar wart or skin tag. For sensitive skin, you can mix the garlic with a drop of coconut oil to reduce irritation. - Secure in Place:
Cover with a small piece of cotton or gauze and secure with medical tape or a bandage to keep the garlic in contact overnight. - Leave Overnight:
Let it sit while you sleep (6–8 hours). Garlic can be quite strong, so if you feel any burning or discomfort, remove it immediately. - Remove & Clean:
In the morning, take off the bandage and gently clean the area with warm water. Pat dry. - Repeat as Needed:
Do this nightly for several days until the wart or skin tag darkens, dries, and falls off naturally.
⚠️ Note: This is a traditional home remedy. Always consult with a healthcare provider, especially for large or painful growths.
