Ayurvedic Remedies for Athlete's Foot and Backache

Athlete’s foot can be effectively treated with Ayurvedic remedies. Begin by cleaning the problem area with some tea tree oil on a cotton swab. This natural antiseptic oil is widely available in natural food stores and elsewhere. Then apply a mixture of aloe vera gel and turmeric.

Mix 1 teaspoon of aloe vera gel with ½ teaspoon turmeric, and apply some of the mixture to the affected areas. But be a little careful: This mixture will turn your skin and socks yellow! If you use it at night, it will stain your sheets, so you might wear a pair of old socks to prevent the discoloration. Continue with this treatment twice a day for at least 2 weeks An alternative treatment is to wash your feet with neem soap.

Then dry thoroughly with a hair drier or soft towel, and apply some neem oil (about ¼ teaspoon) mixed with about 10 drops of tea tree oil. Apply that mixture topically to the affected area with a cotton swab. If you have athlete’s foot or are prone to get it, avoid fermented food and sugar.
