Transmission isby simple contact, often at sites with small skin breaks, abrasions or othertrauma. The patients with warts seek treatmentdue to the unsightly appearance which effects the quality of life, fear of spread or enlargement or discomfortfrom pressure1. Multiple treatments are available for warts inmodern medicine, but no single treatment is consistently highly effective2.

Panchakarma (Shodhana -biopurificatory) treatments willeliminate the morbod factors responsible for the genesis of disease3 and are proved effectivein the management of warts.
