I have athletes foot only on one foot. I've had it for about a year and it seems to get inflamed only sometimes. The problem is, I wear mostly sandals - How can I get rid of it naturally and still wear sandals?

Athletes Foot is caused by a fungus so you want to choose a safe anti-fungal to apply to your foot.

Make a strong tea of 4 ounces oregano in enough water to cover your ankles. Soak your feet 3 times daily in this concoction. You can keep the tea for at least a week.

 

Good luck!

1. Stop eating wheat.

 

2. Reduce sweet things in your diet - use stevia instead of sugar.

 

3. Clean between your toes with metholated spirits twice a day.

 

4. Clean your sandals thoroughly daily.

 

5. Clean your shower base daily thoroughly.

 

6. Use clean towels and socks if worn, daily.

 

7. Use a non residual body wash instead of soap. 

 

8. Use a chemical free shampoo and conditioner - your shampoo if used in  the shower also stays on your feet!
