Orlando, FL — May 20, 2016 - One of the most common skin infections that affect the soles of the feet and webs of the toes is athlete’s foot. There are quite a number of creams, lotions, and medications available for the condition. However, there are also home remedies for individuals who want to deal with the problem in a natural way.
Turmeric can provide a natural healing solution for athlete’s foot sufferers. This skin condition can be caused by a fungus, and when it does, it can spread to the groin, palms, and body.
Unfortunately, fungal infections affecting the feet are typically contagious. Thus, it can spread from one person to another or by simply getting in contact with contaminated floors and objects.
Tinea pedis is the medical term for athlete’s foot. Various fungi can cause its development, and these fungi can be found in locker rooms, gyms, nail salons, swimming pools, and contaminated clothing and socks. Sufferers often experience pain, burning, itching, and scaling.
Athlete’s foot is a form of dermatitis and is more common in men than women. This is due to the fact that men are usually the ones who wear tight shoes all the time.
When fungus causes athlete’s foot, it can be addressed through the use of antifungal medications. There are many medications available that can be purchased over the counter.
It is important to ensure that the feet are kept dry, and this can be done by using cotton socks and breathable shoes. This can be an extremely effective way to prevent the development of athlete’s foot.
There are various natural remedies for the condition, and one is turmeric. Turmeric has been used since time immemorial in fighting a myriad of health problems. It is also thought to provide a wide range of health benefits.
The therapeutic effects of this ancient, medicinal spice are thought to come from its phytochemical called curcumin. Curcumin contains a number of healing substances such as antibacterial, antibiotic, anti-septic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties.
Today, many people who want to increase their protection against a range of diseases, including skin conditions, use curcumin supplements. For skin conditions such as athlete’s foot, turmeric can be combined with cold water to make a paste.
Applying turmeric paste is believed to help ward off infection within a few days.
Individuals who want to take advantage of the healing benefits of the spice may use turmeric powder or curcumin supplements. The most recommended curcumin supplements contain a black pepper extract called BioPerine, which increases curcumin absorption inside the body (www.amazon.com/Turmeric-Curcumin-C3-BioPerine-Capsule/dp/B0166KAW8M).
