Natural Cures: For Fungus (Athletes Foot)

[Guest guest]

Our bodies have " good " bacteria that fight off " bad " bacteria. But, if

you use antibacterial soap on your feet, many of the good bacteria are

killed, allowing the bad bacteria of athlete's foot left in a shower to

take hold on your feet.

The more you use antibacterial soap, the more the athlete's foot will

worsen. Instead, regular use of plain old soap and water will allow the

good bacteria to remain and to allow the good bacteria to multiply more

and more so they kill the athlete's foot you may have already. (Every

time you use an antibacterial soap or cleaner, some of your germs

mutate. Eventually, these germs will be mutated so much that the

normally efficient antibiotics we have now will not kill them.)

For Fungus (Athletes Foot):

Immunosuppressant drugs make the Lupus patient susceptible to fungus

around the toe nails and finger nails. Tea Tree Essential Oil is very

effective " medicine " for skin problems, including bacterial infections

and fungus. The tea tree oil has anti-fungal and anti-bacterial

properties and soothes burning and itching.

Put a few drops of tea tree oil on the areas affected by athlete's foot

four times a day. Once the problems seems to be all cleared up, continue

treatment for another two to four weeks to be sure you've caught it all.

You can also use this for treatment for nail fungus. DO NOT ingest or

swallow the oil. It is to be used on the skin only.

For mild cases of athletes foot or itchy feet, try a soak of regular tea

(like Lipton). You can soak your feet in tea. Fill a large bowl with a

quart of boiling water and add six tea bags. After the tea has cooled

enough to be comfortably warm, soak your feet for a half hour to an

hour. The tannic acid in tea kills some of the fungus and is soothing

for painful, itchy feet.

It is also helpful to pour natural apple cider vinegar on infected feet.

After allowing the vinegar to dry, rinse the feet with water and dry

them thoroughly.

Wash your socks in hot water to be sure the germs on them are killed.

Or, you can " cook " your clean socks in the microwave oven for a few

minutes.
