Ringworm: A natural way to cure ringworm

Ringworm is a condition that is acquired through contact with the skin and
hair of an infected dog or other animal. Ringworm is caused by a fungus
that eats the skin and hair of its host. It usually appears in human as
circular, scaly, red areas. As the parasite grows, it spreads inward
forming a circular shape that looks like the shape of a ripple when you
drop a stone in a pond.

In dogs, the affected area appears hairless, thickened, scabby, and
irritated. They are usually disk-shaped and about one inch or more in
diameter. A lot of ringworm cases transmitted by animals come from cats,
although dogs can also carry the spores without showing any visible signs.


In humans as well as animals, the number of infection from ringworm is
steadily increasing. In fact, ringworm infection is now among the most
common if not the most common fungal disease reported. While children are
more vulnerable to ringworm than adults, humans can get infected at any
age. Here is a way you can treat ringworm using a common herb:

You may use the herb goldenseal and make a strong infusion by mixing the
powdered herb with one cup of boiling water. Let it stand until cold then
carefully pour the liquid and massage it on the skin about once or twice a
day.
