Among the remedies of the hive's pharmacy found in Prophetic Medicine, we have propolis. It is very effective for external use, and it can be applied up to three times a day. If the warts persist, tea tree essential oil can then be used, once or twice a day. It is also possible to use plant-based lotions, such as celandine.
What the science says: warts, herpes, and fungal infections
What published research says about the remedies mentioned above, for context — these studies address material causes; healing belongs to Allah.
Warts, herpes, and fungal infections
Local wart treatments (salicylic acid, cryotherapy) were evaluated in a Cochrane review (JMIR Dermatol, 2021); on the natural side, tea tree essential oil, garlic, propolis, and vinegar are used for their antimicrobial properties (Antioxidants, 2023) (Arch Dermatol Res, 2023). Precaution: dilute essential oils; a nail fungal infection or scalp ringworm often requires prolonged medical treatment; do not scratch or pop.
