To remove warts
According to dermatologist Nina Roos, fig milk is a common grandmother's trick for fighting warts. It acts "like a stripping acid" due to the fruit's sap, which is a highly irritating substance. A study published by The International Journal of Dermatology confirms that the effectiveness of fig milk against warts is due to certain enzymes in fig leaves.
For this trick, it is recommended to extract the juice from fig leaves by cutting them in half and then applying it to the warts. For optimal effectiveness, it is recommended to repeat this process upon waking and in the evening, before going to bed.

2. Celandine
Celandine is a weed, also known as wart herb. Characterized by a yellow flower and swallow-like leaves, it grows mainly in the wild. According to the Allodocteurs website, its action is due to its coptisine content, an alkaloid with antimitotic properties that inhibits the cell proliferation of the papillomavirus responsible for warts.
To use celandine, split its stem and then apply the collected juice to the wart. Due to its rather strong odor, it may be helpful to cover it with a bandage. Note that celandine juice is corrosive and should therefore only be applied to the growth.
