* [[Eucalyptus citriodora]] is a powerful fungicidal and bactericidal essential oil, and a valuable asset when treating athletes foot.
*[[Baking Soda]] : Baking soda has been used inside the homes as a cleansing agent and it has also been for personal hygiene over the years. Also used for dry, flaky skin, baking soda can help stop athlete’s foot in its tracks. Because the athlete’s foot fungus, the Tricophytonrubrum, thrives in damp, moist and wet areas, it would serve you best to stop the dampness, moisture and wetness. Simply sprinkle baking soda into your shoes and it will do the trick of absorbing water and keeping it relatively free of moisture and dampness.
* [[Espom Epsom Salt]] : Simply add a half cup of Epsom salts to warm water and soak your feet for as long as you want (or until the water gets cold) to alleviate the itching and burning and help heal feet faster.
*Cornstarch : Because of its close relation to baking soda, cornstarch may also help you deal with the athlete’s foot fungus. All you have to do is to directly rub your feet with cornstarch. Rub them especially on the areas in between your toes as the cornstarch will absorb the moisture present there, keeping the area dry all throughout the day.
*[[Garlic]] : The wonders of garlic extend from head to foot! Remember that garlic has antifungal properties. You just have to crush one clove of garlic, add a little olive oil in it to form a paste. Once you have the paste ready, you may start to apply it the infected nails. Leave it on for fifteen to thirty-five minutes and then you may proceed to wash the paste off using soapy, warm water. After you do this, remember to dry off your feet well with a really clean towel that is exclusive for your feet’s use alone. Make this an everyday habit until you are completely healed.
