As it was explained to me warts are caused by a virus, which at some point the local skin tissue no longer attacks. Any treatment that provokes the immune system in the area without damaging the tissue too much has a change of waking up the immune system to the wart's virus.

If that is true it is no surprise to me all sorts of folk medicine work on warts.

Also, most warts spontaneously resolve with no specific treatment.
