Hi ABD. This is not so easy but I think if you are persistent you can be successful. This
problem is caused by a virus -- usually when bare foot comes in contact in areas where there is dampness and heat, like indoor swimming pools or shower rooms or using others footware. I believe that amines discharged from the body (usually feet) of meat eaters atracts this virus (Human papiloma) and if immune system is weak then your body cannot resist.
So protocol for prevention and treatment is as follows: First it is important to realize that this wart is very contagious. Therefore avoid touching wart with hands & avoid contact of foot near other people (keep bandaged with white cotton sock on always.)
Next strengthen immune system with balanced diet of whole grains, vegetables, beans, seaweeds, seasonal fruits and restrict animal food to occasional seafood. Take away all refined sugars, flour products, and OTC drugs and prescriptions. Enhancement of immune system can be made with daily miso soup, Astragulus root boiled with kukicha tea or Reishi mushroom pieces simmered with green tea. If stomach is strong you can also take fresh, uncooked garlic. The garlic is actually the best of all above because the natural oil is discharged through the skin and acts as a deterrent to virus and bacteria. You can actually kill fleas from animals if you put garlic in their food!
External treatment: Make very strong pot of tea with fresh or dry Thyme. Put tea into a metal basin and let cool a little then soak infected foot for 15 minutes. Best to do this at night if you work in the daytime. Dry off foot and place one or two drops of garlic oil or clove oil on the wart. Cover the wart and oil with a small slice of raw potato (about size of a quarter). Then tape on potato or adhere with gauze and cover with sock. You need to do this faithfully for about 30 days.
Soon you will see the root of the wart start to come out. Once it extends beyond d the surface you can then burn with moxa stick every night. Finally you can take a sharp single edge razor and shave off dead wart and dead skin. This should not hurt or bleed.
If you are unable to treat the wart by yourself you can easily have it burned off with electric current at the doctor’s office. Quite often a prescripton of Salicylic acid (caustic)
applied externally is very effective but hopefully the home treatment will be tried first.
Sometimes Plantar warts return if root is not completely destroyed.
We were lucky in helping my son with this problem two years ago and then went to see a doctor for follow up. He said that the wart looked like it was gone but to be sure it wouldn’t come back he burned it with electric current. Ouch! So far it never returned. Now my son always wears rubber shoe covering when he goes indoor swimming or uses a public shower,
My neighbor’s daughter (vegetarian) also got he same problem (from same pool area) and she went to a homeopathic physician who recommended only to make a paste of baking powder and water and apply this to the wart and cover with bandage. This was
about 6 months ago. However the other day I asked to see her foot and the wart was still there. So I don’t recommend this.
One last story: Another neighbor of mine who is my age also goes swimming at the same pool and he got the same plantar wart on his foot. He did not treat it for over one year and walked around limping because of the pain. He then could not take it anymore so he went to the doctor. The doctor could not treat it because it was deeply embedded in the foot., like a nail, so he had to surgically remove all three of them. The man then had to walk on crutches for 6 months and was out of work. I tell you this because if home remedy does not work you need to see a doctor soon after. Good luck. I hope this helps.
In peace, Roy
