Athlete’s foot can be an itchy nightmare, with a red, scaly rash starting in between your toes and spreading throughout your foot and even other parts of your body. Athlete’s foot is contagious and can be caught by using the same towels or even walking on the same floor barefoot as someone who has it. OTC antifungal medications can kill the infection, but the harsh chemicals leave your feet susceptible to recurring infections.
Compared to commercial antifungal medications, CBD oil has triple the fungus-fighting power, with cannabinoids, terpenes, and coconut oil all being potent antifungals. Thankfully, CBD oil can also be used both internally and externally to treat athlete’s foot much faster than other natural methods such as garlic or talcum powder. Use CBD oil daily as a tincture under the tongue to prevent recurrence of athlete’s foot in people susceptible to chronic infections. The most powerful way to treat a current case of athlete’s foot is to apply a treatment containing CBD oil directly to the foot. It’s important not to just use a dropper of CBD oil on your feet, as the dropper might get contaminated with fungus, and the CBD oil won’t penetrate as deeply into your foot as it would in a specially formulated cream. The following recipe has the ability to not only treat the underlying cause of athlete’s foot, but also to naturally alleviate the resulting pain and inflammation.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
