Home Remedies For Ringworm.
Ringworm is a very common fungal infection of the skin, but there are a number of simple
home remedies that can clear up this infection, including the use of garlic extract, tea tree
oil, turmeric, aloe vera, coconut oil, salt, papaya and lemongrass tea, among others.
There is a wide variety of different fungal species that can cause ringworm, which affects
the skin and is highly contagious.
The technical term for this affliction is dermatophytosis, and there are many ways that
the fungal infection can be transmitted.
Some of the most common include the exchange of sweat, contact with animals, public showers,
high-contact sports with exposed bare skin (e.g., wrestling).
Home Remedies For Ringworm.
1.
Lavender Oil.
If you thought the smell of lavender was soothing, wait until you experience the topical effects
of the essential oil.
For the treatment of ringworm, lavender essential oil can be applied to the skin, which will
not only kill the fungal infection in its tracks, but also prevent other infections
from taking hold during the healing process.
Lavender oil is extremely powerful, so only a small amount is required to enjoy these
health benefits.
2.
Tea Tree Oil.
When it comes to eliminating fungal infections, the native-to-Australia tea tree oil is hard
to beat.
Aside from its ability to speed healing and stimulate healthy skin, it can also eliminate
the underlying fungal infection when used regularly for a period of weeks.
However, tea tree oil is extremely powerful, so always dilute it with approximately 50%
water, or else it can cause skin irritation.
3.
Garlic Extract.
One of the most powerful remedies for bacterial, viral or fungal infections is garlic, due
to its wide range of antioxidants and other organic compounds that make the environment
of the skin or gut intolerable for these pathogens.
For the treatment of ringworm, you can apply garlic extract to the affected area and see
very rapid results, making this one of the most popular home remedies for the condition.
4.
Aloe Vera.
Known for its potent anti-inflammatory and immune-system boosting properties, aloe vera
is an excellent candidate if you are suffering from ringworm and want a quick way to eliminate
it.
Aloe vera also has direct anti-fungal abilities for a wide variety of potential pathogens,
and the saponins in the concentrated gel are also excellent for relieving pain and discomfort
associated with this condition.
You can apply the gel directly to the affected area for best results.
5.
Salt Treatment: Salt may seem like a basic remedy, but for ringworm, it is extremely
effective.
Salt dries out the skin, and given that wet, damp areas are ideal for ringworm to take
hold and spread, applying salt, which has astringent properties, is excellent for disinfecting
the area.
It can also speed healing and reduce the inflammation of the affected skin by sucking out the moisture.
6.
Turmeric.
As one of the most powerful antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-fungal substances available to us
in our diet, turmeric and its active ingredient, curcumin, were sure to make this list.
More specifically, people choose to use the even more concentrated form of turmeric oil
to treat this condition.
This oil will reduce the inflammation on the skin, while also quickly eliminating the underlying
infection.
7.
Lemongrass Tea.
While most of these remedies are topical applications, there is some good that you can do through
the things you eat.
Lemongrass tea, for example, is an excellent booster for the immune system, particularly
when it comes to fungal infections throughout the body.
However, you can also allow the tea to cool and apply it directly to the affected skin
area for a doubled effect.
