* [[Mountain Laurel]] can be applied directly to the affected area to treat Ringworm of the scalp (tinea capitis), [[Psoriasis]], [[Herpes]] and [[Syphilis]].
* [[Bergamot]] essential oil shows promise in the treatment of dermatophytoses, a fungal infection commonly known as ringworm. In a 2007 study published in the Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, tests on several common species of dermatophytoses-causing fungi found that bergamot essential oil may possess antifungal properties.
* [[Neem]] is another good natural topical remedy for tinea. The salve usually works well, and if you can find an ozonated or oxygenated tea tree oil or neem salve, go for it. You can get some relief from pure unpasteurized apple cider vinegar as well.
