Sorry its been so long since my last post. Life got in the way a little. Hope any of my loyal readers didn’t get mad, if i even have loyal readers. Tried to get a second job, my fiance’s car died so i have to get him to work and down to school for classes (he’s training to be a chef). So here i am with some time to add a post before I pick him up.
So, im sure many of you have had that burning itch between your toes or anywhere else on the body. It’s really a form of ringworm. The fungus loves dark, warm places, your toes or even your groin. And once you get it, it might take up to 4 weeks to get rid of it.
One suggestion is to simply go barefoot or wear open toed shoes. Even walking barefoot in the ocean will help. Drying out your feet and salt water will help kill the fungus.
It’s real easy to get rid of if you really keep at any of the recommendations.
If you can’t get near an ocean, soak your feet in solution of 2 teaspoons salt to a pint of warm water for 5 to 10 min. Dry your feet with a hair dryer and put on new clean socks.
Baking Soda Paste- One tablespoon baking soda and a bit of lukewarm water, rub on fungus, rinse and dry with hair dryer, dust with powder or cornstarch.
Wine!- This sounds interesting but someone swears by this method. 1 ounce Sage, 1 ounce Agrimony (herb, can find at natural food markets) and 2 cups white wine. Simmer mixture in covered pan for 20 min. Cool and soak the foot repeatedly. Theres no time on how long to soak. I’m guessing 20 min or so.
Garlic- this too may sound strange but i know this works. One suggestion is to add some crushed cloves to warm water and a bit of rubbing alcohol. Another approach is to cut cloves of garlic and directly place them between your toes, but your feet up and watch some TV for 20 min or so. Watch out, if the skin is broken the garlic does burn a bit.
Ginger- A less painful approach, add an ounce of ginger root to boiling water, simmer for 20 min or so and apply directly to area with cotton ball or cloth.
Teatree Oil- Some brands come with a brush, but if yours doesnt, Dilute with a bit of water and apply directly to the area, three times a day. DONT INGEST!!!!
