While not a serious health problem, left untreated warts can easily spread to other parts of the body. The Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) causes all warts. HPV is a virus that attacks the outer skin layer causing the formation of warts.

How long do warts last?
Warts disappear of their own accord in time, as the body develops immunity to the virus, but certain essential oils and herbal tinctures have anti-viral properties that fight the virus naturally, and will not damage the outer skin.

What are the benefits of using a herbal product to treat warts?

• Promotes natural elimination of warts
• Antiviral properties reduce risk, and growth of viruses
• Speed up the healing process
• Does not burn surrounding skin

Hints for using Sunspirit Thuja Ointment
Apply Sunspirit Thuja Ointment topically to the affected area twice daily. For the best results keep warts, corns or calluses covered. Use a sterile non-adherent absorbent dressing. Do not use medicated dressings. Use only on common warts. Do not use on moles, birthmarks or unusual skin growths. Do not treat warts over large areas at one time.

Thuja Ointment also provides temporary relief of pain suffered from rheumatism and fibrositis. Suitable for children over 2 years of age.

Technical Information
Thuja is used as an anti-microbial, astringent, and is directly indicated in improving diathetic conditions of the blood and acts directly upon abnormal growths, such as conditions relating to the cell structure of the skin.

Thuja oil is extracted from the fresh leaves and twigs by steam distillation, and the main chemical components of Thuja oil are: a-thujone, b-thujone, a-pinene, camhene, sabinene, fenchone, camphone, terpinen and bornyl acetate.

Lavender and Lemon fruit peel and Tea Tree which are active ingredients in Thuja Ointment are well known for their healing properties to assist in troubled skin conditions allowing for rapid tissue growth and scar prevention, incorporating the antibacterial properties.

Sunspirit Thuja Ointment is blended with the optimum balance of ingredients to promote maximum healing. With 10% active ingredient each gram of Sunspirit Thuja Herbal Ointment consists of extract equivalent to dry Thuja leaf & twig -Thuja occidentalis (72mg) 100% pure essential oil of Lavender flower - Lavandula angustifolia (10mg) Lemon fruit peel - Citrus Limon (10mg) Tea Tree leaf & twig - Melaleuca alternifolia (8mg), in a base of superfine Lanolin.

Why Lanolin?
Sunspirit's ointment base is a superfine pharmaceutical grade lanolin, free from pesticide residue.

• Lanolin is neither a fat or a grease, but a true wax (more akin to beeswax)
• Lanolin closely resembles the skin's natural sebum, absorbing into the skin completely
• Lanolin is an excellent vehicle for topical application of herbal extracts and essential oils
• Lanolin accommodates a high concentration of active ingredients
• Lanolin enables effective penetration of these ingredients in the body tissues
• Lanolin does not build up accumulated deposits between the epidermal layers

Unlike many of the petro-chemical based creams (e.g. sorbolene) available on the market today, Lanolin is more supportive and skin friendly to the human body.

Dealing with warts
Sunspirit Lemon Essential Oil can be used in combination with Sunspirit Thuja Herbal Ointment for increased effectiveness.

Other herbal products that can help:

• Vitamin E
• Vitamin and mineral supplement
• Garlic capsules

A good level of nutrition will also help the body in dealing with the virus. Garlic will help to strengthen the immune response.
