Guest guest Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Hi All, Though not strictly " herbal " , I have used an old antifungal remedy for athlete's foot (also used in dogs for interdigital dermatitis): Copper sulphate 2.5g Zinc sulphate 2.5g Water ....... to 100ml Shake until the salts are dissolved Dabble toes in a few ml of the mix, or apply to fungus-affected area with a cotton-bud every 2 days for 2-3 times. It can be great, but stings like hell if the skin is cracked. Some people recommend alum (aluminum sulfate) and / or aluminum chloride solution for foot / toenail fungus. PS: Copper sulphate ( " bluestone " ) spray was used to treat fungal infection in plants [potato blight and fungus infection of grapevines and appletrees] in the past. Traditionally, farmers mixed the bluestone with washing soda to help adhesion to the sprayed plants. Best regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
