Ringworm is a fungal infection which spreads quickly and can invade our skin, hair or even the nails.

Try the following ringworm treatment - 

  • Take a fresh raw papaya, cut a slice and rub the inner part of it on the affected area. This when done twice daily is very beneficial to cure ringworm.


  • Grind holy basil in a tsp of water to get the juice. Apply this juice on the area affected with ringworm. This is a very useful remedy to get rid of ringworms.


  • Add water to 1 tsp mustard powder to make a thick paste. Apply this paste on the affected areas to cure ringworms.
  • To give relief form the itch take a bath 2-3 times in a day, this will not wash away the ringworm but it will help avoid its spreading further.
  • If you have ringworm on scalp then massage your scalp daily at night with olive oil and wash in the morning.  For best results continue this at least for a weak.
  • As it spreads fast personal hygiene is important. Wear clean loose fitted cotton/linen clothes. Avoid synthetic or tight uncomfortable clothes.
