Warts are a common dermatological issue and are most often caused by infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV) ^[2]. While conventional medicine addresses the viral origin of warts through topical or surgical treatments, homeopathy offers a broader interpretative framework. According to homeopathic philosophy, warts are not solely external lesions but represent an internal disharmony involving the vital force and immune system ^[4].
From a miasmatic perspective, warts are primarily linked to the sycotic miasm, which is associated with pathological overproduction and accumulation in the body. This includes the development of tissue overgrowths such as polyps, cysts, and warts ^[1]. The sycotic miasm is also historically connected to suppressed gonorrhea and the suppression of other natural discharges or processes within the body ^[2]. In homeopathy, emotional and psychological dimensions are considered integral to the expression of physical disease. Warts, particularly those in the genital area, may reflect unresolved emotional conflicts such as guilt, shame, or repressed sexual energy ^[3]. Additionally, chronic stress and anxiety are seen as contributing factors due to their potential to impair immune function, thereby facilitating the persistence or recurrence of warts.
