Please note: A number of other websites refer to using bentonite clay. Please DO NOT substitute their guidelines or product for ours. Our clay is stronger in its action than a lot of other clays, different in its texture and the way it behaves. Our guidelines are designed to work with our products.
This guideline has been written by our practitioner Sarah Beesley (MHD Hons) to provide a comprehensive approach. The best result is gained when the whole guideline is followed.
The following information is not intended to diagnose any condition or to replace the advice of your doctor.
Athlete’s foot
- Use Purely Earth Clay to pack the feet daily for 2 hours each time. You can cover the clay with plastic food wrap to keep the clay in place. For how to make a clay pack, Click Here
- Mix 50 ml apple cider vinegar, 10 ml of Manuka essential oil and 20 ml of Oregano essential oil into a pot of Purely Earth Vitamin E Cream and use this on the feet after removing the clay.
- If wearing boots or closed in foot wear that make your feet sweat, dust the clay on to your feet before putting on your socks and wear it inside the shoes.
- Spray any shoes you have with a spray of Manuka and Oregano essential oil and dust the insides of them with clay powder. You can re-infect your feet by putting on shoes that have fungal spores left alive in them.
- Be persistent. It can take time to clear the problem.
- You may also need to address any digestive issues and immune weakness that may be allowing the fungus to survive. If the above treatment does not resolve the issue for you we recommend you make an appointment with our practitioner Sarah.
