Athlete's Foot Home Remedy

By: Jeff Austin
 

You dont have to be an athlete to get athlete's foot. People who wear shoes that don't allow air to circulate, who insist on wearing socks that are not 100% cotton, or who do not dry between their toes after every shower will probably at some point get a good case of athlete's foot.

Athlete's foot is one of those human maladies that have been around a very long time, so you can bet that there are home remedies that will treat and cure it.

One of the very cheapest and most effective ways to treat as well as prevent athlete's foot is to rub baking soda between the toes after thoroughly drying them after each shower, and sprinkle some baking soda into the socks before they are put on.

There are, of course, a lot more very effective home remedies for treating athlete's foot.

Tea tree oil is one of the better known and widely accepted home remedy treatments for athlete's foot. Tea tree oil can be purchased at most stores that sell herbs and herbal supplements.

Just dab a drop on the affected areas several times a day. If it burns, you can dilute it with a little vegetable oil.

Applying vinegar has been proven to help cure athlete's foot as well. Use a cotton ball soaked in white vinegar (the kind that you find on a grocery store shelf) and rub the affected areas with the cotton ball.

Boil white willow bark, strain, and soak the feet in the cooled solution to help cure athlete's foot. Dissolving a few aspirin tablets in hot water and soaking the feet works almost as well.

You can also buy over-the-counter medications at most drug stores for treating athlete's foot at home. Read the labels and follow the directions when using these products.
