Natural Measures To Prevent And Cure Ringworm

November 3, 2009


Ringworm is a common skin disease. This is a bacterial infection that is not only dangerous it is also very annoying. It affects the scalp, body, feet and nails. Children suffer from scalp infection while adults tend to get an overall infection.

When the bacteria infects the hair it causes damage to the roots and thus makes the hair look dull and unhealthy. If the rash is severe it leaves a bald spot on the hair. The infection causes severe itching and it is this itching sensation that causes the spread of the infection.

It can pass on through mere contact with an infected person hence you must take precautions to protect yourself. There are several home remedies that you can use to treat this skin rash as well as protect yourself from an infection.

Papayas are beneficial in the cure of this condition. Raw papaya slices must be rubbed on the infected skin. The fruit causes a cooling sensation and reduces the itching and inflammation on the skin. Papaya seeds can be ground to a paste and applied to the skin when mixed with water. It helps to heal the skin rash.

You need to wash the skin thoroughly with warm water and a mild anti septic soap. This keeps the skin clean and clear and gets rid of the bacteria. Grind mustard seeds to form a paste and apply it to your skin. The affected region will show improvement within a few hours. Do not wash off the paste immediately. Let it dry and then wash it off with warm water.

Most of treatments for ring worm are topical treatments. The leaves of holy basil are also effective in the cure of this condition. You must extract the juice of the leaves and apply the juice of the leaves to the skin in order to heal the itching sensation and to reduce the inflammation. Apply the juice at night and you will notice a positive improvement in the condition of the skin by the next morning.

Combine carrot juice with spinach juice and drink a glass of it in the morning in order to get rid of the toxins in the body. These juices when combined with each other clear the rash and give the body a total cleansing. You need to drink 500 ml of the juice in a day. You may drink these vegetables juices separately as well.
