My two remedies that I have used with great success

A year ago I stepped on a nail with bare feet, and then went swimming two days later and ended up with a planters wart on my foot. I found that Castor Oil on the water with a bandage worked amazingly well and removed the wart in about 2 weeks with no pain and no scar left over. Castor oil is cheap and it works great, just be careful because the oil will stain clothes.
Cayenne Pepper - I found a long list, a long time ago, of remedies that involve cayenne pepper. One remedy that stayed with me that works miracle is by keeping Cayenne Pepper in capsule form, preferably 80,00 BTU(the heat strength), whenever you are cut and bleeding, open a capsule and put a small amount on the wound, count to ten and it will stop bleeding. When using the cayenne you will not feel a burning sensation. On top of this effect it will heal the wound faster and will prevent scaring. It works faster then any wound ointment out on the market. Being a computer technician for so many years I always cut up my hands when working on hardware, motherboards are very sharp at the solder points, so I started carrying a bottle of cayenne capsules in the car and whenever I cut myself at a customers I would just take one out and in a couple seconds it had stopped bleeding.
