Warts are called neoplasms on the skin in the form of nodules, cones and other benign growths, provoked by the human papillomavirus. The need to get rid of them arises from aesthetic considerations, the risk of degeneration into malignant ones, if they are in the potential area of injury. The safest method is the method of radical removal of them in the walls of a cosmetic or surgical room. There are various methods of disposal: burning with nitrogen, electric current, a scalpel, a laser. There are also many alternative methods of combating warts, including thread removal.
Is it possible to pull a wart with a thread?
Doctors do not approve of this method of removing outgrowths, but among people it is quite common. Its essence is that by dragging a thread with a wart, which is an overgrown epithelium with blood vessels, there is an interruption in the access of food to it, which leads to its death and disappearance. The drying is shown by a darkened look, puckering, roughness.
How to get rid of a wart with a thread?
If you still choose this way of wart removal, then the procedure should be well washed skin, treated with an antiseptic solution of the body area and the thread through which to perform manipulation. It should be cotton or silk. How to tie a wart with a thread? This can be done in several ways:
- cover the very foundation and tighten it, leave it for a week;
- pre-moisten the thread in the vinegar;
- stretched papilloma to be treated daily for 7 days with household or tar soap.
If the wart does not wither and does not fall off, and if the slightest signs of complications (redness, pain, ulcers, changes in color and shape) are found, do not hesitate to contact the specialists.
How to speak a wart with a thread?
Believes in the magical rites, you can resort to plotting warts on the thread. To make it work, you need to be able to correctly hold it. To do this, you must follow these rules:
- believe in what you are doing;
- a conspiracy of warts on the thread is carried out on the waning moon;
- women choose women's days for the ritual (Wednesday, Friday, Saturday), men - for men (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday);
- to prelude the rite with peace, silence, concentration of attention on it;
- conspire to carry out in a clean cleaned room, with a washed body and clean clothes.
There are various options for action and conspiracy texts. One of them is this: tie a thread for the night with a thread, and in the morning, remove it, bury it in the ground with the words: "When the thread rotates, the wart will pass away," or "Where did it come from, go and leave," or "Month of young, take warts with myself".
Doctors only chuckle at such methods and urge not to postpone visits to them, so as not to aggravate the situation, but psychologists find rational grain in conspiracies, because there are cases of auto-suggestion leading people to recovery from incurable diseases. Even the outstanding psychiatrist Bekhterev attributed the therapeutic effect of prayer to self-hypnosis, if true faith is present.
