Getting Rid Of Ringworm, The Natural Way
Ringworm, also known as Dermatophytosis, causes red, ring-shaped patches on the skin which can show up anywhere on the body. This contagious fungal infection can actually be treated with some natural ingredients that possess powerful healing properties.
Lemongrass Tea
Turmeric
Turmeric is renowned for its antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory effects that can help get rid of stubborn ringworm.To use this as a remedy, we need to create a paste using a small amount of water and turmeric powder. Apply the mixture on the skin and leave until it dries. We can also have turmeric tea or turmeric water for more benefits.
Tea Tree Essential Oil
Simply dab some pure tea tree essential oil on a cotton ball and apply to the affected area or we can also combine it with an antifungal carrier oil like coconut oil. Do these two to three times daily until positive results are obtained.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Gently dab the ringworm with a cotton ball saturated (but not dripping) with apple cider vinegar. Do this two to three times daily until the ringworm clears up.
Epsom Salt
Mix about ¼ cup Epsom salt with a cup of warm water. Apply the mixture regularly and generously to a great natural exfoliant and antifungal treatment.
Aloe Vera
Garlic
To use garlic as a treatment, make a paste by blending crushed garlic cloves with some olive or coconut oil. Apply a thin layer of the paste to the affected skin using a cotton ball or a clean piece of clothing and cover with gauze. Leave in place for up to 2 hours before rinsing. Repeat twice daily until symptoms resolve.
