June 15, 2001, Newsletter Issue #42: Away With Athlete`s Foot Naturally!

Tip of the Week

Fungus thrives on sugar and yeast, so folks who have a high intake of these products in their diets are actually MORE likely to do battle with athlete foot problems. Therefore, it`s highly advised to DECREASE or eliminate these items from your diet.

Blistering and cracked skin generally team up with an ungodly itch when this fungus decides to take up residence on your feet, and although there are a number of over-the-counter remedies available, there are several natural approaches to curing and relieving the discomfort - minus the heavy duty chemicals.

Tea tree oil is a very effective remedy for a wide range of skin infections and this is because it is a natural antiseptic. This oil is widely available at health food stores and drug stores. It is most effective when used undiluted and applied directly onto DRY skin. Massage in between four to 10 drops, depending on the size area affected and make sure to WASH your hands thoroughly after application.

The homeopathic remedy Calendula, available in cream and ointment is also very helpful in treating athlete foot discomfort. Apply in the morning and again in the evening to clean, dry skin. You can also make your own tincture by steeping two tablespoons of dried calendula flowers in one cup of boiling water for about 20 minutes. Strain and keep in refrigerator. It can be applied by using a cotton ball dipped in the tincture - and keep in mind, Calendula is wonderful for almost ALL skin problems.
