Some people think that a sore on the feet is caused by water, this is not true as water (or wet feet) is a catalyst which enhances the growth of the fungus that causes athlete’s foot. Athlete’s foot is a fungal infection and this fungus may grow on the feet when the feet is wet. This infection can cause itchy skin problems on your feet, and as the fungus grows, it may spread to other toes.
Today, I will be educating my readers on how to use garlic and baking soda to treat athlete’s foot, and this has been proven to be effective as reported by Medicalnewstoday. Below is a detailed explanation of how to use garlic and baking soda to treat athlete’s foot:
Garlic: It has been shown that garlic extract can kill or stop the growth of the fungus which causes athlete’s foot, due to the presence of the compound, ajoene, which cured athlete’s foot in those who used it. What you need to do is to crush four garlic gloves and stir inside a basin of warm water. Soak the affected feet for 30 minutes inside the basin and do this twice a day. The ajoene will halt the growth of the fungus which will in turn facilitate the healing process.
Baking soda: Aside using baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) as a base, it also has antifungal properties and can be used to treat athlete’s foot. Simply mix the baking soda with warm water, soak the affected feet for 30 minutes and do this twice daily. You can get baking soda where they sell laboratory materials.
