Natural Remedies For Athletes Foot

does anyone have some advice on a natural remedy for athletes foot?
i dont want to use any cheical lotions or potions yet, so any advice would be much appreciated

Hi ooolalally. Most over-the-counter drugs stop the symptoms for a while, but it usually returns with vengeance. Here is a simple and effective way of treating athlete's foot I have learnt from my friend Chris Gozdzik with easy to obtain natural ingredients:

Get some mutton fat (tallow) from a butcher's shop (beef tallow can also be used), trim the skin and blood vessels. Cook over slow heat until it melts, strain and pour into jars, let it cool. (Mutton tallow can be stored in a fridge in an air-tight jar to prevent oxidation for a few weeks, beef tallow stores almost indefinitely without refrigeration). Wash and dry your feet and apply the tallow to affected areas in a thin layer. Put clean socks on to prevent staining your clothes. Taking zinc supplements and vitamin E from a good source will help speeding up the process and make it more permanent.

Corns are areas of hardened skin, usually on the tips or tops of the toes, sometimes on the side of the foot. They can be extremely painful. Usually they form in response to rubbing and pressure from too tight or too narrow shoes.

You can get rid of them using very simple method: Get a clove of garlic, run it through a garlic press or cut up into small pieces, add a small pinch of sea salt and using a spoon - mash it till smooth. Put a dab of it on the top of the corn and cover with band-Aid. In 2-3 days pull the band-Aid off – in most cases the corn will come off.

www.herbalremedyBible.com There has been much discussion around "peeing" on hands or feet to kill fungi. That fact is, it works for 1 ...

Dab metholated spirits between the toes, it dries the skin. Then dust cornflour between the toes to absorb the moisture......use this method in nursing.

hello I was told to soak my foot in salt water as a cure for athletes foot I Understand that this can work but this particular infection is between the skin and the nail of my big toe and under it a little would salt water still be as effective the infection causes my toe to bleed every day so I often have a scab covering it. my dad won't take me to a doctor because he thinks that modern medicine is out to get him and only believes in natural remedies. so yahoo what should i do?

talk to a pharmacist. they know a lot more than we think.

Before buying a cream I wanna try out some natural home remedies. Ive heard vinegar, salt, etc work? Do you know any good ones?

Root causes:
Prolonged us or frequent use of antibiotics, Leading to depletion of good bacteria that normally keep fungus in check.

Poor Digestion and elimination

Depressed immune system (Diabetes)
A High sugar diet

Poor Hygiene

Try;
Detoxification foods, Garlic - Onions - chlorella wheat germ.



Take some of the following.

Silica, Garlic, Grapefruit seed extract, Echinacea.
Place Tea Tree Oil directly on the fungus

Is there anyway to stop it? I just want to do it the all natural way
home remedies stuff like that. no powders,cream, or spray.
And I just wanna ask , how does peeing on them help?
Does baby power work?
I mean baby powder

Please don't pee on your feet in the shower (sigh). Although urine is purported to having sterlising qualities, there are other concerns about using urine in that way. I have read the research on this- and it really is not the best option, honest. You can see the poster didn't list their source!

Use of bleach or alcohol related cleansers to clean common areas where the fungus grows, like the tub, is effective in preventing growth of some organisms, but it has to be consistently and frequently applied.

Drying well between the toes and anywhere else that it is dark, most and warm. if you amek the area not friendly for growth of the fungus it can't grow. Sunlight is good, too. Some women get an infection similar to atheletes foot under the breasts- and all it needs is a terry cloth towel put under the breast to allow it to dry to get rid of it.

Using a foot power that promotes dryness and antimicrobial action is useful. Gold Bond's foot powder is one such powder.

Using yoghurt- eat it, but also some people apply live yoghurt to areas afflected with athletes foot. the bacteria eat the fungus.

Echinaceah powder and goldenseal root powder applied topically both been reported to prevent it. (but the medication Clotrimazole is actually cheaper than the natural remedies are...)

Wear flip flops in the shower, don't share flip-flops, and avoid "bare foot" contact with anything anyone else has "bare foot" contact with.

Use only white cotton socks- died socks have more of a tendency to harbour fungus.

The most important thing, tho, which I have mentioend- dry the areas well, and if you do develop atheletes foot, although prevention is lovely when done naturally, if none of the natural rememdies work, you need an anti-fungal medication.
Good luck! Its most common that someone brings in the organism from someplace else- the gym, school, etc, so knowledge of what it looks like, is important. Good luck!
