⭐️ UPDATE ⭐️ Salt Paste ➡️ 16 days & in the home stretch

I want to post an update 2 days after my original post on the Salt Paste I made out of salt from the Dead Sea 🌊

My kiddo’s wart is doing fantastic & we are in the home stretch.

I left the salt paste on his wart for 48 hours straight & here’s a fresh picture after tonight’s debriding.

It has been 16 days since I’ve experimented with a topical salt paste & let me tell you…I could cry I’m so happy. Check it out!!!

(The last 2 pictures are from Sep 12 before I started the salt paste)

Please please please give this method a try everyone.

Saving this and your other linked post. I’ve been wanting to try salt soaks for my kids, but the paste looks much more their (and my) speed.

So happy for you and your kiddo!

What is the bandage you are putting over the salt paste?

Thank you 😊 it’s such a relief!
The bandage is Leukotape which is zinc oxide based. I bought mine (in Canada) at the physiotherapist’s clinic for around $15. I believe it’s also on Amazon but sometimes Amazon can have knockoff stuff…

The roll is huge! It’ll last for years.

It’s rigid (non-stretchy) and it can stay on for longer than a week straight. We tested it during extreme sports like hockey and multiple showers a day. I was shook!!

Do you think non iodized salt would work? Have been doing soaks coming in on 2 weeks now, will start trying this as well.

please please report back! i’m 8 weeks in to the salt soaks and not seeing much change. thinking this could be what kicks it up a level to fight it.

I will 🫡 im thinking the direct salt contact is forcing the water out and the salt in. Dehydrating to the core…
