Home remedies for fungal infection
- Add 1 tsp of garlic juice and 2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar to 1 cup of water and daub your underarms with this throughout the day.
- Soak a cotton ball in curd or yoghurt and apply it on the area 2 to 3 times daily.
- Drink 3 to 4 glasses of buttermilk in a day and eat sweetened, plain or salted curd after your meals.
- Mix grape fruit seed extract and olive leaf extract in 1 glass of water and drink this tonic once a day.
- Cranberry and cranberry blueberry extract are good antioxidants and effective in curing the infection.
- Dip a cotton ball in tea tree oil and apply it on your underarms 2 times a day.
- Wash your underarms with saline water or water mixed with 1 tsp of baking soda. You can also use a mild soap and plain water for this purpose. Dry the area and apply some talcum or baby powder to it. This will soak excess moisture and control infection.
- Apply Aloe Vera gel or vitamin E oil 2 or 3 times a day.
- Rub some raw garlic on the skin of your underarms 2 times a day. You can also apply garlic oil or its juice twice daily.
