Those with compromised immune systems, such as people with HIV/AIDS, autoimmune conditions, and those debilitated as a result of severe illnesses, alcohol abuse, and smoking are at an increased risk of getting warts. Hygiene also plays a role-unclean communal baths, showers, and pools are breeding grounds for the HPV virus. Conventional medical treatment involves topical applications of salicylic and lactic acids or surgical removal. In Chinese medicine, warts are seen as an invasion by a dampness toxin and as a stasis of energy and blood. An underlying weakness in the immune system allows the invasion of pathogens. The best approach is to boost immune function by activating the lung and spleen networks, unblock the stagnation, and expel the pathogenic accumulation.
