How to Cure Athlete's Foot

Can someone who is not an athlete get athlete's foot? You bet your 10 little piggies, he can! The nasty bug that causes athlete's foot is an equal opportunity fungus. It doesn't care if you are a star quarterback or a couch potato! Athlete's Foot is caused by an organism that lives on the skin and thrives in warm, moist conditions. If you have it, it is going to take some time to cure it and if you don't avoid what caused it in the first place, it will rest assuredly be back to haunt you. Included below is a not so conventional, but effective way to cure your athlete's foot.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• white wine
• sage
• agrimony
• saucepan
• stove
• pan to soak feet in

1. 
    

   Start with 2 cups of white wine, and no, this is NOT to drink!

2. 
    

   1 ounce of sage

3. 
    

   1 ounce of agrimony (an herbal plant)

4.

   Remove from stove, let cool and soak your tired, afflicted foot or feet in the mixture for 20-30 minutes or until your feet appear intoxicated!

on 9/26/2008 I haven't tried any home remedies like this before. Has anyone tried it? I haven't had much luck with home remedies in the past. I recently found a product online that really helps with Athletes Feet. It's called Pedifix FungaSoap and it really works. I work out a lot and I keep getting athlete's feet. After I starting using the FungaSoap, teh athlete's foot was no longer a problem. I haven't had it since I started using it. I get it at Therawear.com and the website is http://www.therawear.com/pedifix_fungasoap.html if anyone is interested. It really is great, but I would be interested to know if the treatment above really works.

on 5/6/2008 This has to be the wildest treatment I have ever hear of for athlete's feet. Sounds like a great waste of white wine.
