13 Natural Ways To Treat Ringworm At Home

Lemongrass Oil

Lemongrass is a grassy plant native to the tropics with culinary and medicinal uses. Oil distilled from the lemongrass plant’s leaves and stalks is pungent with a citrusy aroma. It is a common ingredient in hygiene products, including shampoos and conditioners. Healing wounds and warding off infection are just two of the many uses for lemongrass. Essential oil from lemongrass was proven effective against many strains of drug-resistant bacteria in a study conducted in 2010. 

Athlete’s foot, ringworm, and jock itch are all caused by the same kind of fungus. Lemongrass can aid in eradicating the fungus and hasten the skin’s recovery from its damage. The effective concentration of lemongrass oil in a solution is 2.5 percent. To use lemongrass oil in treating ringworms, combine the lemongrass oil with another carrier oil or directly use the oil for treatment. Apply it to the infected area and rub until the oil is completely absorbed; repeat twice daily for best results.
