Natural Athlete's Foot Remedies
Natural Remedies for Foot Fungus
For those of those that love to go bare foot and shed our shoes whenever possible; foot fungus or athlete's foot is not usually an issue because fresh air and sunshine are usually naturally remedies for these conditions.  But for folks that wear a lot of closed toe shoes and boots for work or athletics can suffer greatly from the itching, peeling, redness and burning associated with skin fungus on the foot.  Foot fungus is caused by microscopic fungi and thrives in warm moist environments (i.e. feet with socks and shoes on).  Most of us know of the anti-fungal sprays and powders that are well advertised, but if you want to go the natural route try these easy home remedies.

Remedies

Tea Tree Essential Oil has been used potent antiviral, antiseptic, antimicrobial, antifungal properties. Tea Tree Oil is for EXTERNAL TOPICAL USE ONLY. 


  • Tea Tree Oil - Apply a 50/50 mix of Tea Tree Oil and Carrier Oil (i.e. Almond, Olive, Avocado) to feet 2x-3x per day. Oils will soften skin to allow penetration of Tea Tree.

  • Tea Tree Spray - Mix a solution of 1/2 tsp. of Tea Tree Oil, 2 tbsp. Witch Hazel and 1/4 cup distilled water. 

  • Tea Tree and Aloe Vera Rub – Mix 3 parts Tea Tree with 1 part Aloe Vera Gel (Pure Aloe Gel) and apply to affected area twice a day. Aloe Vera is a skin softener and healer.

Soothe Symptoms

  • Yogurt – Apply a small amount of plain yogurt to affected area and allow to dry (acidophilus bacteria fights fungus)

  • Salt Foot Soak – Add 2 tsp. of salt to two cups of warm water and soak feet for 5 - 10 minutes as frequently as needed

  • Apply cornstarch to feet to keep dry

Prevention

  • Dry feet thoroughly after baths or showers.

  • Wear natural fiber socks or moisture wicking synthetic socks.

  • Spray shoes with antifungal powder or spray

  • LET FEET BREATHE WHEN AT HOME


You can buy tea tree essential oil at many of your local health food stores or Starwest Bontanicals http://www.starwest-botanicals.com/category/tea-tree-essential-oil/.
