How to get rid of athlete's foot naturally?

First try some athletes home remedies on our site. A new remedy is also suggested here:

Sesame Seed Oil is naturally antibacterial anti-fungal for common skin pathogens, such as staphylococcus and streptococcus as well as common skin fungi, such as athlete's foot fungus. It is naturally antiviral. It is a natural anti inflammatory agent.

Take sesame oil about 50 ml and add borax powder 20 grams into it, making a toothpaste consistency paste. apply this paste to the sites of infection twice or thrice a day. IN case borax powder is not available, you may use sea salt also.

Athletes Foot is caused by a fungus so you want to choose a safe anti-fungal to apply to your foot.

Make a strong tea of 4 ounces oregano in enough water to cover your ankles. Soak your feet 3 times daily in this concoction. You can keep the tea for at least a week.

Good luck!
