There are contraindications. Consult your doctor.
Lemon for fighting ringworm: lemon juice can be used for treatment by gently applying it to the affected areas of skin.
Common soapwort (root): Pour 1 teaspoon of crushed root with 1 cup of cold boiled water and steep for 8 hours. Strain and take 1-2 tablespoons of the infusion 6-8 times a day.
Garlic (heads):
Here are a few folk recipes with garlic:
Rub the affected area with garlic, then rub in finely crushed birch charcoal mixed with burdock root. This remedy is effective for ringworm.
Crush garlic, wrap it in gauze, and apply it to the affected areas of skin for 10 minutes for 3-4 days.
Greater celandine (herb): fill a 0.5-liter jar halfway with fresh chopped leaves (or 0.25 of the jar with dried leaves), pour boiling water, cool, and strain. Take 100 ml three times a day 10-15 minutes before meals. For children, a half dose is recommended. Take a break for 2 days after every 7 days of intake. This strong decoction can also be used for compresses.
Colophony plaster: mix equal parts of colophony (powdered), fresh hog lard (rendered in a double boiler), and pure beeswax.
Preparation is done in a double boiler. First, melt the wax, then add colophony, stirring continuously. Gradually add the rendered fat. When the entire mass has melted, remove from heat and mix thoroughly until it thickens. This plaster has a powerful healing effect and helps with abscesses, boils, carbuncles, ringworm, and cuts. Change the plaster dressing 1-2 times a day. Do not squeeze the purulent core from boils; it will come out on its own, after which rinse the wound with a potassium permanganate solution.
A mixture of frankincense, aloe, garlic, and egg white for treating flat ringworm: combine 50 g of church frankincense, 50 g of aloe, 50 g of garlic, and the white of 1 egg. Mix all ingredients thoroughly and store in the refrigerator. Apply the mixture to the affected areas using a gauze tampon. This remedy is also helpful for psoriasis and purulent wounds, but apply the moistened tampons to the wounds.
Birch bud salve: grind 1 cup of birch buds and mix with 0.5 kg of lard. Cook in the oven in a clay pot for 3 hours a day for 7 days. Afterward, strain and store the salve in jars. This salve can be used for eczema and other skin diseases, as well as for tuberculosis: take a teaspoon of the salve in 50 ml of warm milk 3 times a day before meals. It is also effective for lupus erythematosus and other dermatological issues.
Celery: long-term use of celery can help in the treatment of certain forms of psoriasis, urticaria, and ringworm. Apply a mashed paste of its leaves and roots to the affected areas and drink 2 tablespoons of fresh juice 3 times a day.
In cases of skin tuberculosis, use a paste mixed with an equal amount of butter or fat.
Paper resin from ringworm: roll coarse wrapping paper into a tight tube and light one end, holding the structure with forks. When the paper burns, carefully collect the brown resin left at the bottom of the plate and apply it to the ringworm until it hardens. If the resin hardens, diluting it with a drop of vodka will help. Keep it on the skin for 30-60 minutes, then gently wipe it off with cotton. The next day, the skin will begin to peel, and the ringworm will disappear, leaving clear skin. Be sure to indicate the source when reprinting: Source.
