Tea tree oil

Athlete's foot can be very uncomfortable and hard to get rid of if you let the condition linger. Reading this article will teach you how to cure mild athlete's foot.

Instructions

1. Consider using aspirin and alcohol. Both aspirin and rubbing alcohol have been used for decades to treat minor body aches, but did you know that mixing aspirin and rubbing alcohol together can help treat your athlete's foot? All you have to do is take 5 aspirin and let them dissolve in 1/2 cup of rubbing alcohol and apply to your feet after bathing. The aspirin will soak into the skin because of the alcohol mixture. This concoction will kill the fungus that causes odor and athlete's foot and help dry up the problem.

2. Consider using vinegar. Vinegar has been used in the treatment of athlete's foot for a very long time. White distilled vinegar with 5 percent acetic acid (you can buy it from any grocery store) works best. All you have to do is soak a cotton ball or other applicator with the vinegar and apply to the affected areas of your feet. It is recommended that you do this at least 2-3 times per day in order to assure that you get the full benefits of this treatment.

3. Consider using tea tree oil. Tea tree oils are used in many home remedies and are usually very helpful in alleviating a wide range of medical problems. Did you know that tea tree oil can be used for treating athlete's foot? Tea tree oil can help cure and prevent athlete's foot. It is recommended that you take a little tea tree oil and apply it to the affected areas of your foot. If the oil stings, all you have to do is combine it with another oil (i.e. canola oil) and then apply to the affected areas.
