Guest guest Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 White Vinegar works well for getting rid of the athletes feet. Soak his feet first 3 days in it for at least a half hour. Then spray his feet every day with vinegar. The vinegar will kill it and make his feet inhospitable to the fungus. We use the lavender and tea tree for wounds.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Tea Tree is wonderful for athletes foot. If he is in boots all day he might try using a powder to help absorb wetness, or even just pure cornstarch sprinkled in his boots. At one time I had found a really nice powder with tea tree in it but have never been able to find it again. It worked well to clear up and keep away my sons athlete foot problem. I've had it myself and used tea tree oil twice a day for 2 weeks and it was gone. Doesn't smell pretty but it works! Good luck! Tori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Hi!! Tea tree and lavender oil can be used neat, using a cotton bud, straight onto the tinea. Other things to consider are what is his peripheral circulation like? does he get cold hands and feet? (if so, lack of blood and nutrition in the area can weaken the structures and make them more prone to infections..) Have you looked into the type of socks he wears? make sure they are either cotton/ and/or/ Wool - no synthetics. Give the guy a foot bath in the evenings when he gets home - a nice bucket of yummy hot water on sore feet is a great treat. use a few drops of tea tree oil dispesed by some base oil in the water (just make sure the quality of the oil is good - make sure it has the correct latin botanical name, batch no and exp. date on the bottle) A great herbal treatment I have used myself is greater celandine - the juice from the rot, straight onto the site. ( it grows wild here, i dont know about the US). There are lots of other anti-fungal herbs that work well, and some that work well internally to help rid a chronic tinea problem.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Garlic oil works. For quicker results rub a slice of garlic over the problem area. Invest in socks that wick away moisture from the feet. Fixed my problem last winter. Vicki Sneak preview the all-new .com. It's not radically different. Just radically better.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 --- A boot drier to put your boots on at night is a must if you are in boots all day. It has worked wonders for my husband. Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
