From U.K The Guardian, Tuesday 3 March 2009
Cherry Chappell has compiled a vast compendium of traditional homemade remedies. Here is a selection of the best - some sound sensible, while many are bewildering.
Athlete's foot
One suggested treatment is "thinly-sliced garlic placed between the affected toes". An alternative treatment is calendula or pot marigold (Calendula officinalis). It has been used for centuries to treat various kinds of skin conditions, including burns, sunburn, inflammation, rashes, boils - as well as athlete's foot. Like garlic, it has anti-fungal properties, but it also has antiseptic and astringent qualities that can help in the healing process if the affected areas are particularly sore.
