Fungal foot infection

I have a fungal foot infection that has been around for many years, what can I do?

It may be helpful to investigate whether the fungal foot infection is caused by a superficial candida complaint (intestinal dysbiosis). Candida infections are caused by an opportunistic microflora which over proliferates in the body when the conditions are right, such as an acidic, damp and sugary environment. This overgrowth of bacteria may present in the bowels and digestion or on the skin as a fungal infection.

The following is a list of anti-fungal herbs which can be applied:

Propolis
Calendula
Tea tree
Garlic
Lemon myrtle
Lemon grass
Patchouli
Thuja
Olive leaf
Colloidal silica
Poke root
Oregon grape root

You may add any of these herbs to a base oil solution of Wheatgerm or Avocado oil and add it to a bowl of warmed water and soak the affected area for relief of itching.

Diet suggestions for fungal foot infections

Include yoghurt in your diet to establish good bacteria within your digestive system, or take a probiotic supplement to establish a good microflora environment to ward off detrimental bacteria which contributes to this condition
Add Garlic and onion in your cooking, for good microbial protection through the whole body
Eliminate foods which encourage the growth of Candida/ yeast such as sugar, dairy, wheat, yeasts, alcohol, moulds and mushrooms
Plenty of water, fresh fruits and veges to alkalise the blood, change the pH of the blood and encourage alkalinity to discourage the bacteria which thrives on acidic blood
Begin each day with a glass of lemon juice in a glass of warm water every morning to cleanse the body
Alternatively use apple cider vinegar instead of lemon juice taken before meals. You can even rub this on your skin for great results and temporary relief from the itch associated with this skin condition
A mixture of lemon juice, olive oil and garlic can also be added to warmed water and you can soak the affected area

Lifestyle factors for a fungal foot infection

Practicing good hygiene is imperative to reduce the risk of further infection or transfer of infection to others
