Athlete’s foot is a common condition that can be difficult to get rid of. While there are many over-the-counter treatments available, these can be expensive and harsh on the skin. A more natural option is to grow your own athlete’s foot herbal remedy.
There are a few different herbs that have been traditionally used to treat athlete’s foot, including:
* Tea tree oil: This essential oil has antifungal properties and can be applied topically to the affected area.
* Garlic: Garlic has both antifungal and antibacterial properties and can be consumed orally or applied topically.
* Apple cider vinegar: This natural remedy can be applied topically or taken orally.
To grow your own athlete’s foot herbal remedy, you will need:
* A clean glass jar with a tight-fitting lid
* 1/4 cup of dried herbs (such as a combination of tea tree leaves, garlic cloves, and apple cider vinegar)
* 1 cup of water
Instructions:
1. Add the dried herbs to the glass jar.
2. Pour the water into the jar and screw on the lid tightly.
3. Shake the jar well to mix everything together.
4. Place the jar in a sunny spot and let it sit for 24 hours.
5. After 24 hours, strain out the herbs and discard them.
6. Pour the remaining liquid into a clean spray bottle.
7. Apply the herbal remedy to the affected area several times a day.
This herbal remedy can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. If you start to see any improvement, continue using the remedy until the athlete’s foot is completely gone. If there is no improvement after 2 weeks, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
Other Factors to Consider When Treating Athlete’s Foot
In addition to using an herbal remedy, there are a few other things you can do to get rid of athlete’s foot.

* Wear sandals in public places: When you are in public places, such as showers or locker rooms, wear sandals to protect your feet from exposure to fungi.
* Don’t share towels or shoes: Fungi that cause athlete’s foot can be spread through contact. To avoid spreading the infection, don’t share towels or shoes with others.
