CONCLUSION The combined effect of all the above mentioned drugs has helped in destroying the HPV and curing the warts. Viddha Karma has helped in removal of clogging of the warts surface to channelize the medicine to enter into deeper tissue there by facilitating and hastening the healing process. The latex of Arka has worked by disseminating into all the warts to reach deeper tissues there by producing the medicinal effect to the entire warts from the surface to the base. Haridra being antiseptic, anti-inflammatory has helped to prevent the spread of infection. Even though above study has given successful results and proved efficient, a prospective study regarding the above drugs is required to obtain a complete analysis of drug. REFERENCES 1 Manthappa M.
