Witches and goblins are not the only people who get warts. Although usually benign, they can be embarrassing and, in some cases, painful. But you don’t need to brew a cauldron of ingredients to make warts disappear. For more than 200 years, people have employed the help of Thuja occidentalis, a plant-powered homeopathic medicine, to get rid of these unsightly bumps.
A Life-Saving Tree
Thuja occidentalis is the homeopathic preparation of the leafy twigs of the white cedar tree or Thuja occidentalis L. as it’s known scientifically. If you’re a gardener, you might be more familiar with its other name, arborvitae, which means “tree of life” in Latin. White cedars are evergreens native to North America. Hardy and fast-growing, they’re good for making privacy hedges.
As it turns out, these trees were also great for medicine. Indigenous peoples in Canada first used white cedar to treat scurvy before anyone knew what the mysterious disease was or its source.
In the winter of 1535, French explorer Jacques Cartier witnessed the healing effects of this plant on his crew, who like countless sailors before, suffered and succumbed to scurvy because of poor nutrition. We now know that evergreen needles, such as those on white cedar, are chock-full of vitamin C.
Today, Thuja is mainly used in homeopathic medicines and phytotherapy.
Nature’s Wart Treatment
In homeopathy, Thuja occidentalis is primarily used for chronic conditions, but another common use is wart removal.* You’ll find it as one of the active ingredients in Boiron WartCalm Tablets, but it’s also available as a single medicine.
Choose the 30C dilution for warts that are flat and translucent; hard and calloused; around or under the nails, or a single large plantar wart. Thuja occidentalis 6C relieves skin lesions that tend to protrude, such as thick warts and thick scars.* For best results, daily use for one month is recommended.

I have 3-4 calluses on the bottom of my ball of the feet, and very painful. I am wondering the Warts Treatments help my condition or please recommend applicable medicine.
Hi Akiko, we do not recommend using WartCalm for calluses. Since calluses form from friction or pressure, you should make sure to wear proper-fitting shoes and socks, and use bandages on places where your shoe rubs to prevent them from forming. Applying a moisturizer will help soften the skin and heal the calluses. We suggest using Boiron Calendula Ointment on rough and cracked skin and leaving it on overnight.
Does this Boiron Thuja Occidentalis 30ck pellets have thujone in it? I’ve read it’s dangerous. Was hoping to use this for cuticle warts but worried about thujone.
Hi Karen, thujone is present in large amounts in Thuja essential oil which is a concentrated, herbal product. Boiron Thuja occidentalis 30C pellets are homeopathic medicine and prepared by a dilution process, which removes these toxic properties. Hope that helps or call us at 1-800-BOIRON-1 if you have any more questions!
Is this the same as a Thuja tincture? If so, will this also heal toe fungus?
Thank you!
Hello Nani, homeopathic Thuja is made with the same active ingredient in Thuja tincture. It is sometimes used to treat fungal infections. Call us at 1-800-BOIRON-1 for any more questions, thanks!
Hello. I have a 9yr old daugjter that has had a large raised white wart on her knee for over a year. We have had it frozen at the dermatologist office 3 times, and used every wart OTC topical product with no success. It is a persistant wart that now has hairs growing up through it. I am now looking to homeopathics to help internally fight it. Is 30c, 4pellets per day recommended or should i use 6c and if so, how often?
Hi Malia, the recommended dosage is five pellets of 30C, every morning and night for up to a month.
I have warts with a hard cauliflower look on my legs and arms. Which would be better for me, WartCalm or Thuja Occidentalis 30C? Thank you.
Hi Carolyn, WartCalm contains several active ingredients to target different wart varieties and is indicated for warts with a cauliflower appearance. Therefore, WartCalm is the better choice in your situation. You can buy WartCalm online or find it in a store near you.
Hi there, I’ve had flat warts on the tops of my feet and ankles for a few years now and they seem like they’ve started to spread/multiply. I have noticed a few near hairline.
I’ve tried other remedies over the years that just haven’t worked at all.
I’ve since used one box of your WartCalm and just finished a three pack of your Thuja 30c. While I was hoping for more drastic results, I will say that some of them on my feet and ankles have gone from skin color to a slightly, yet noticeably darker shade this past month.
Should I up the dosage to 200ck? I’ve read that flat warts can be there more stubborn of warts and take longer to respond to treatments.
Thanks in advance.
Hello Greg, thanks for reaching out. We recommend using WartCalm or Thuja for 30 days consecutively. WartCalm contains Thuja, so there is no need to take both at the same time. Please stop use and speak to your doctor if you notice any changes in the appearance of the warts, such as color changes.
Hey there, Thank you for getting back so soon. I apologize, I should have been more clear. I started with WartCalm then once finished, moved into Thuja Occidentalis 30c. With that said, I think they are starting to die based on color change. They are definitely warts and not skin cancer because I’ve had some medically frozen before. My doctor doesn’t have the best bedside manner so I figured I’d ask you. Does this take longer to work for flat warts? Are they just more resistant by nature?
Hi Greg, I spoke with our pharmacist and he says there are many factors to how fast a wart will go away, such as its location, the thickness of your skin, and the size and type of wart. Flat warts tend to disappear faster than hard warts, and discoloration usually signifies that the wart is dying and will soon fall off. He recommends taking some before and after photos to confirm that the wart isn’t getting larger, which would require a medical examination. Hope that helps!
Hello! I read that thuja can get rid of lypomas. Is this true and if so, what dosage and for hour long? Thanks for your help!
Hi Teresa, homeopathic single medicines may have several indications, but we only print the common one on the label for over-the-counter use. It is possible this medicine is useful for lipomas but we recommend you consult a homeopathic practitioner for more information. If you do not have one, you can find one on the National Center for Homeopathy website.
I used your calendula in petroleum base for shingles. OMG I love you guys. Is there something you guys recommend for toenail fungus?
Hi Virginie! We don’t have a particular remedy for nail fungus, we recommend consulting with a health professional.
HI there, I (female) have genital warts since a short while. Could thuja help with this and if recommended, which solution? Thank you!
Hello Wieke, Boiron Thuja occidentalis is not indicated for genital warts.
I have genital warts and unfortunately I had to wait for over a month to get the 6c for warts because we do not have it in my country.
How long will it take for me to see results?

Hi!
I was wondering if thuja occidentalis 30c would be safe to take as a preventive treatment? My husband has a couple of warts inside his hands and will start his treatment asap . I am not showing any warts myself but since we are constantly in contact I was wondering if it would prevent me to get some?
Thank you!
Hi Alison, Boiron Thuja is not a preventative medicine. However, we do recommend starting treatment at the first sign of a wart and continuing for 30 days or until the wart disappears.
Hi I have a verruca on my foot. I’ve just got your Thuja 30c tablets. Am I right in saying I take 2 every 2 hours? How long should I do that for please xx
Hi Kate, please follow the labeled directions. The dosing regimen for Thuja 30C is twice daily (once in the morning and once at night) until the wart disappears. Call us at 1-800-264-7661 if you need further assistance.
My husband had warts all over the tops of his hands thuja 30cc got rid of all of them completely it was totally amazing.
I have some around my cuticles and thuja 30cc has not worked. I have started taking thuja 200cc I take this twice a day but this has not helped after 30 days. Can I still take this until I start to see results? I have had them frozen at my GP but that did not help.
Thanks
Hi Lisa, warts can be stubborn, so you may need to use more than one treatment. You may also consider switching to WartCalm, which contains Thuja and other active ingredients that help remove warts than using Thuja alone.
