Guest guest Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Ringworm typically does not show inn lumps, but in round scaly patches. You can heat some water and add fresh rosemary then squeeze the rosemary onto the ringworm. We use 7% iodine on our critters, That works too. If you have tea tree oil put a drop of that on it. Or you can try Grapefruit Seed extract if you have that on hand. Several suggestions - one will work for you.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Gayla -- Jumping in on your post to K. (Plus, I love the name of your ranch!) So glad to know about the heated water/rosemary tip! I love rosemary and we have lots of it. Another wonderful way to use it. Will also add the 7% iodine to the tea tree oil and GSE in my home arsenal. I have learned to be very careful with tea tree oil around felines, however, as it is damaging to their lungs. I no longer use it for cleaning solutions in the house or in the laundry. The damage is gradual and silent, but deadly. Great for humans, not for cats. -- Hope your daughter's infection clears up quickly!

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Be careful with the tea tree oil on the ringworm, my son gets it when none of us do, and had a spot on his arm so I put a drop on it and it flared up really bad. He ended up having to go to the doctor to get a cream for it. I understand if you dilute it in a carrier oil (olive, sweet almond, jojoba or whatever you may have available) that it is just as effective without causing areaction like he has. He has used some of my homemade soap with the tea tree with no reaction so it had to be adding it neat directly to the spot HTH Violet in SC.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Hi Violet and Everyone, Thanks for your wise council. My daughter had ringworm when she was in high school. I tried tea tree oil on it and it flared up and she was visiting the doctor many times before we solved her problem. She ended up in the dermatologist's office being checked for skin allergies. It was finally determined that she was sensitive to a common ingredient in liquid soap. But that ingredient is a very common toxic ingredient that causes chemical sensitivities. That was way more than I wanted to deal with but I did it. That happened before I re-started making KT. And I still have a lot to learn about everything it can do for me and my loved ones.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 You must be careful using essential oils undiluted. They are almost always way, way too strong for straight use. Gayla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Don't use tea tree oil on your male children. Both lavender and tea tree oils contain compounds that act like female sex hormones and interfere with male hormones. You can google information on this. -Patty > > Be careful with the tea tree oil on the ringworm, my son gets it when none of us do, and had a spot on his arm so I put a drop on it and it flared up really bad.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 I personally used frankinsence essencial oils on ringworm and it worked. Took a couple days but didn't have any problems. Some people don't recommend using the oils straight but I did and it worked and I didn't have any problems.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 I just wanted to say be sure it is ringworm, some people mistake the bull's eye rash of Lyme disease as ringworm. You can get more than one bull's eye, as a matter of fact our pastor had 39. jan > > Has anyone used kombucha topically for ringworm? > I am going to try it with my 9 yr old unless someone says DON " T DO IT.............. > Also, anyone have any home remedies that have worked for you? I think my daughter has contacted it from a new kitten we got recently. I don't see ringworm on the kitten, but it is losing some fur on its nose and paws. Someone said it was probably parasites. Then my daughter cropped up with some suspicious bumps. Any ideas would be appreciated. > Thanks > K > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Hi Jan, You're scobies are in the mail. If you don't receive them by Thursday let me know. I enclosed a third one for good measure. You can stack them. I suggest not using a large quantity of tea for your first batches. And once you have them in a covered container do not disturb them for 7 to 12 days. Let me know if you have any questions. ann --- jan <jpos123@...> wrote: > I just wanted to say be sure it is ringworm, some > people mistake the > bull's eye rash of Lyme disease as ringworm.
