If not, perhaps your parents applied a small amount of <span class=\"highlighter\">lavender oil<\/span> directly to the ringworm and gently rubbed it into the skin. <span class=\"highlighter\">Tea tree oil<\/span>, a popular natural oil, was another remedy that some parents found to be effective. Interestingly, through Internet searches, I have learned that this oil is also great for treating skin problems such as burns, cuts and infections. Has anyone used <span class=\"highlighter\">turmeric<\/span> to treat ringworm? Turmeric is an ancient healing spice that is turned into a liquid mixture and applied to the infected area with a cotton ball or towel. Other remedies included <span class=\"highlighter\">salt and vinegar<\/span>, <span class=\"highlighter\">aloe<\/span> in liquid form or colloidal silver. Then there were approaches used by some families that were passed down from one generation to another. One friend shared with me having <span class=\"highlighter\">axle grease<\/span> placed on the ringworm on his scalp. Another told me that his mother placed <span class=\"highlighter\">a copper penny that had been coated with vinegar<\/span> on his ringworm, sometimes taped to the scalp.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<span class=\"tags-links\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pediatricscommunity.com\/info\/fungus\/\" rel=\"tag\">fungus<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/pediatricscommunity.com\/info\/home-remedies\/\" rel=\"tag\">home remedies<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/pediatricscommunity.com\/info\/lavender\/\" rel=\"tag\">lavender<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/pediatricscommunity.com\/info\/ringworm\/\" rel=\"tag\">ringworm<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/pediatricscommunity.com\/info\/turmeric\/\" rel=\"tag\">turmeric<\/a><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EDITOR&#8217;S QUOTE: &#8220;Did your parents use ground garlic combined with olive oil to create a paste to apply to the ringworm?
