Vinegar was considered to be effective against fungal infections and was commonly used in cases of athlete’s foot. Clove oil, being a natural disinfectant, was also used.
Garlic was also used in the treatment of athlete’s foot. Sometimes crushed garlic was used, sometimes it was sliced and macerated in oil, and sometimes it was made into an ointment.
People suffering from athlete’s foot were sometimes advised to bathe their feet in a decoction of burdock. Some drops of eucalyptus oil were mixed with almond oil or olive oil and applied to the skin directly.
