NutritionFacts.org | Friday Favorites: Benefits of Tea Tree Oil for Warts and Cold Sores @NutritionFactsOrg | Uploaded January 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
Does tea tree oil have enough antiviral activity to combat HSV-1 and papilloma viruses, the causes of cold sores and common warts, respectively?
Isn’t that bit about wart “charming” wild? I’ve got some videos coming up on the use of duct tape for warts, so stay tuned.
This is my first video on treating common warts. For information on genital warts (which are caused by a different virus), see Benefits of Green Tea for Boosting Antiviral Immune Function (nutritionfacts.org/video/benefits-of-green-tea-for-boosting-antiviral-immune-function/) and Treating Genital Warts with Green Tea (nutritionfacts.org/video/treating-genital-warts-with-green-tea/).
