Question: What are natural home remedies for ringworm? I read somewhere about using vinegar. Does it make any difference what kind of vinegar is used?
Answer: Here are some remedies. The garlic concept is highly effective because it kills all fungi. Aromatherapy: Topical applications of rosemary, tea tree, lavender, geranium, peppermint, thuja, and/or thyme can be helpful. Diet: Avoid all sugars, alcohol, processed foods, and foods to which you are allergic or sensitive (screen for food allergies). Also avoid wheat and dairy products, and eat plenty of organic, fresh vegetables, as well as garlic and onions, both of which act as natural antibiotics. In addition, drink plenty of pure, filtered water throughout the day. Herbs: To speed healing, apply a paste made of equal parts myrrh powder and goldenseal powder mixed with a little water. Homeopathy: Useful remedies include Sepia, Arsen alb., and Graphites. Nutritional Supplementation: The following nutrients are recommended: garlic capsules and probiotic substances such as Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacteria, vitamin A, vitamin B-complexB-complex, vitamin C with bioflavonoids, vitamin E, bee pollen, evening primrose oil, citrus seed extract (orally and applied topically), and colloidal silver (applied topically). Topical Treatment: Tape or bandage a thin slice of garlic directly over the affected area for several days.
