Try these ringworm natural remedies. Ringworm starts with a reddish circle and proceeds to a dark ring on the skin. It is a fungal infection of the outer layers of the skin. Ringworm is not generally serious unless untreated over a period of time. The appearance of ringworm can be seen on any part of the skin including in beards, hair, scalp, etc. Causes of ringworm may come from public places such as swimming pools, gyms and more.
Medical treatment for ringworm is to kill the fungus externally with antifungal creams as well as toxic antifungal medications used internally.
Naturally, to rid the body of ringworm, we want to reduce the dampness in the body, increase the strength of the immune system and use compatible natural anti-fungal supplements and creams. Change your diet to improve immune function. Getting rid of tobacco, alcohol, coffee, black tea and sugars will help. Taking fish oil (at least 6,000mg a day) will improve the immune system.
Natural Healing Protocol — First, choose an herb. Then add a cell salt or cell salt solution. Finally, choose the homeopathic remedy that fits your situation best. Combining supplements will do more to support your body’s ability to function properly than using just one. Your ability to heal will depend on the severity and length of time symptoms have been present.
