Your key nerve control centre -- the foot
Did you know that the foot is considered a key to the health of your whole body(http://www.mitamins.com/) according to Oriental medicine? With pressure points related to all the important organs, your feet are top nerve control centres. So you really need to take care of them. Keep them warm, covered (in fluffy slippers if the weather requires it) and dry. And if you shower in public, you should use the antiseptic bath provided, or wear waterproof slippers.
Toe itch
Symptoms of athlete's foot include a persistent, burning itch that often starts between the toes. The skin on the feet may be damp, soft, red, cracked, or peeling; the feet may also show patches of dead skin. The feet often have a strong or unusual smell, and sometimes small blisters occur on the feet.
Natural treatments for athlete's foot(http://concernrelated.mitamins.com/General-Health/natural-treatment-for-Athlete-Foot.html)
Keeping the feet dry is very important for preventing and treating athlete's foot. After showering or bathing, thorough but gentle drying is recommended. Light is also an enemy of fungi and is an excellent natural medication against the problem. People with athlete's foot should change socks often to decrease contact with the fungus and should wear sandals as much as possible to get sunlight exposure. The socially conscious among athlete's foot sufferers should remember not to spread their athlete's foot to others -- keep those feet away from the public! It's best to remove mushrooms from your diet -- fungi often work together to attack your feet.
Athlete's foot medications(http://conditionsinfo.mitamins.com/General-Health/Athlete-Foot-Medication.html)
Tea tree oil has been traditionally used to treat athlete's foot. Research has shown that application of a 10% tea tree oil cream reduced symptoms of athlete's foot just as effectively as chemical compounds, although it did not totally eliminate the fungus. Medicate your athlete's foot with tea tree oil and creams. Cure it by long-term immune system strengthening.
