Folklore wart removal ideas including Bran?

Like maybe burying a muffin under the light of a full moon so while it rots the wart does too?

Are there any other family/folk bran based ideas you can think of?

    Warts have a psychological component. I once knew a psychiatrist (In a work situation) who would buy a child's wart for a quarter if the child agreed to sell it. He would then tell the child he could keep the wart for a specified period of time (1 - 2 weeks) and at the end of the time the wart would be his. When the time was up the wart was gone.

    Forget the muffin idea. Put a piece of duct tape or adhesive tape on the wart and leave it there. The wart will fall off in about a week.

    Bran doesn't work for wart removal. It too dry. Besides, warts are viruses. You can't kill viruses with bran.

    Actually, I believe the wart removal old wives home cure involved potatoes, not bran...that would bring in the vodka.

    Our ancestors put two and two together. Birds can fly up to the heavens and so, angels must have wings too lol I agree that it's a primitive way of thinking.

    Soak your wart it in cider then rub it with a muffin, all will then be cured.

    Will not work, the home remedies will not work, even cutting them off will not work (tried that in my teens, much to my dismay warts have roots.) Only think which worked was liquid nitrogen; burned like crazy but when I finally caved and went to a dermatologist who burned it off with liquid nitrogen

    You should never eat bran and then perform on the flying trapeze.
