What do you do if you’re afflicted with ringworm? Are there herbs that can cure a ringworm infestation? Sure. In this article, we will reveal an herbal treatment for ringworm. Read on to find out.
What is Ringworm?
Despite its creepy name, ringworm isn’t a worm. Nope, not even close. Rather, it’s a fungus, but whoever named it must have had a flair for the dramatic.
Picture this: a red, itchy, and circular rash that looks like a worm crawled under your skin and drew a perfect circle. Gross, but memorable, right?
Ringworm, aka tinea, loves warm, moist environments such as locker rooms, public showers, or your sweaty gym clothes if you leave them in a pile for too long. It spreads through direct contact, either with someone who has it or by touching something they’ve contaminated.
So, if you’re wrestling, borrowing clothes, or petting a stray cat with a suspicious bald patch, be prepared to share more than just memories.
There are different types of ringworms, depending on which area of the body they infect. On the scalp, it can cause scaly patches and hair loss. On the feet, it becomes the infamous athlete’s foot. On the body, it forms those telltale signs, and if it finds its way to your groin area, well hello “jock itch”. Fun right?
Though ringworm is stubborn and may take time to treat, never worry. Here’s an easy and cheap herbal treatment for ringworm.
Herbal Treatment for Ringworm
Mix half a teaspoon of turmeric powder with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. Make a paste and apply it to the affected area twice a day. Turmeric stains easily, so be careful to wash it off at night to avoid staining the bedsheets.
Turmeric has numerous health benefits, due to its anti-inflammatory and antibiotic properties. It is used for the treatment of inflammation, and for boosting the immune system.
