10. Vodka
Isn’t this cool? Who would have thought?! Mix one cup of vodka with three teaspoons of powdered cloves. Shake and store in a jar. Apply this to your feet with a cotton ball and allow it to dry. Apply daily until your feet are fungus-free once more.

11. Coconut Oil
This is an amazing oil when it comes to healing just about any skin problem. Coconut oil has natural antifungal and antibacterial compounds that will have your feet feeling soft and fungus-free in no time at all. Apply some coconut oil to your feet and between your toes after every shower.
12. Colloidal Silver
Since nothing can live in the presence of silver, it only makes sense that spraying some of this age-old remedy on your feet will kill the fungus quickly. Add some colloidal silver to a spray bottle (if you don’t already have some in a spray bottle!) and spray your feet every night just before bed time. Wash and dry your feet as you normally would the next morning.
Extra Tips:
- Wear leather shoes or sandals that allow your feet to breathe.
- Wear cotton socks.
- Change your socks every single day.
- Wash and dry your feet thoroughly.
- Never put on wet or soiled socks.
- Do not share towels or socks with infected persons.
- Wear shower shoes or flip flops in public showers such as at the gym.
- If your feet sweat a great deal during the day, try putting some baking soda on your feet and inside your shoes to help keep them dry.
Although prevention is the best medicine, things do happen. At the first sign of Athlete’s Foot, be sure to take care of the problem right away.
