" Vitamins A, E, and zinc are important.

.. Put plantain and castor oil on the affected area.

 

.. Place ultraviolet light on the area for at least 6 minutes a day. This can be

sunlight, or a sunlamp. Never place a sunlamp closer than 18 inches from the

skin.

 

.. Apply apple cider vinegar to the area several times a day.

 

.. Equally useful is castor oil, goldenseal tea, and borax. Rub the area with

borax and with castor oil.

 

.. A 3-day citrus fast is very helpful, cleansing the bowels daily. Follow this

with a nutritious diet.

 

.. Eat plenty of garlic. Put raw garlic over the ringworm and cover. You can also

use black walnut extract. Wash the area with garlic juice or wormwood.

 

.. Place freshly cut garlic 3 times a day on the area. This is a very good

remedy. Blend the garlic with a little water and apply as a soak, compress, or

poultice. But this remedy is too powerful to apply to raw flesh between the

toes; it can burn lower layers of skin.

 

.. Take 2 chaparral or wormwood capsules daily.

 

.. The scalp can be shampooed with tar soap and borax. Moisten the area every

morning and evening with goldenseal (1 teaspoon) and myrrh (½ teaspoon), which

has been steeped in a pint of boiling water.

 

.. An herb tea can also be taken internally: goldenseal or plantain, twice a day.

 

.. Make a salve from equal parts of burdock root, chaparral, wormwood, and

chickweed; apply to the area. Some of it can also be made into a tea to drink in

order to fight the fungus internally.

 

.. Keep the skin clean and dry. Ringworm likes damp skin. Take frequent baths,

but dry thoroughly each time. Rub briskly with a towel, to remove the outer dead

layers of skin that the ringworm initially attacks.

 

. Do not scratch. Keep fingernails cut short, to lessen accidental scratching

and spreading of the infection.

 

. To remove crusts, soak the area in a saline solution. An alternate method is

to apply moist cloths for 10-15 minutes, 3 times a day. "
