Cinnamon is a natural antimicrobial and has been used for centuries to help fight against a host of diseases, including Athlete’s Foot. You can whip together a homemade antifungal foot bath by simmering eight whole cinnamon sticks in four cups of water for 5 to 10 minutes. Allow the mixture to steep and cool for about 30 minutes, and then add the fungal-fighting concoction to four cups of plain warm water in a basin or bucket. Soak your feet in the mixture for 15 to 20 minutes to help diminish the effects of Athlete’s Foot. Repeat (with a fresh brew) until you symptoms subside.
For an added cinnamon boost, squeeze several drops of cinnamon essential oil into the Athlete’s Foot footbath.
