Homemade Foot Powder for Fungal Infections

[@cerestaylor1039]

We we're living in Louisiana a few yrs. Ago I got a fungel infection,that bentonite clay worked wonders. Highly recommend it. Be ever so Blessed ❤ ❤

[@jolus6678]

Hmm. Bentonite did not help me at all.

[@kleineroteHex]

Excellent, as always! I put baking soda in my granddaughters stinky but beloved shoes and put them out in the sun - probably not soon enough 😁

@@glendagai quick question?

[@lindachandler2293]

I had a toenail fungus problem for a while. I kept the toe nail wet with vinegar. I carried a small dropped bottle with me and several times in the day I would put a drop on it. If I set down for a while, I put a piece of Kleenex on it and kept it wet. It took all summer, but it grew out nicely.

[@PokerHillFarm]

I've always heard that Tea Tree Oil works well for toenail fungus. Thanks for another great video!

[@truthgha]

For deodorant I have used for years a pinch of plain baking soda under each arm pit. It works great!!!

[@RainCountryHomestead]

For some, baking soda alone is too harsh for the skin so I created a recipe using arrow root powder and essential oils. Now though all I use is either colloidal silver or colloidal copper.

[@caewalker9276]

Tea tree oil works great too. We wash our shoes in white vinegar and when we store our shoes I put a sprinkle of corn starch in them

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Yep, that is why I added the tea tree to my blend :)

[@HeartinessApproach]

Thank you for a well done video we have been able to avoid fungal infections but will keep this video in mind if we do suspect one.

[@wendyrobert9253]

My bentonite clay states use no metal on the label, just a FYI ....do not use metal teaspoons, do not store in metal container, etc....

[@asd74564]

Tea tree oil in lieu of oregano…also, my husband had to see a dermatologist for this same problem. Along with potential causes that you already mentioned, he recommended my husband go up a shoe size and or width. Apparently the pressure of the toe constantly against the shoe can aggravate the nail bed and contribute to nail infections. He also switched to wool socks and that helped tremendously. (He is usually barefoot at home, but not an option in the workplace.)

[@TeeFlory]

Thank you Heidi, another how to I will be trying. Love and prayers!

[@WendyK656]

Another good video Heidi, I am going to try this for my husband as well as me. Rick, has some type of rash he get and he scratches until it bleeds and he will not us the steroids any more, it is making his skin red and thin. Thank you Heidi!

[@kindred1113]

Great recipe for our feet. I am going to give it a try.....nice to see you my friend.....BLESSINGS...MINDY

[@auntievoldster9355]

Try milk kefir for candida and fungus. Topical and internal

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Yes, I know all about those and have videos on it as well

[@monyscell8352]

Heidi - having once used baking soda neat as deodorant in barely a couple weeks I started to itch. I had to immediately go online and in minutes found a plethora of info about using baking soda as deodorant and how the bicarb kills bacteria (hence why it works so well) but it kills off most of the bacteria - leaving the natural yeast (fungus) unchecked - and resulting in a yeast infection. Apparently that's almost always what happens though many people don't get the itching or other symptoms - but there's still a yeast infection. I've had to be very careful with bicarb and so, while I really hate to question you, and what you said about raising ph makes sense, I wonder if the baking soda is really helping or rather aggravating the problem? I've been fighting constant fungal infections on other areas of my skin and was using so much tea tree oil but in the long term it wasn't clearing it up for long - often just weeks and it would be back. I've recently been using powder and am finally getting clear. After a 7 year battle and the astronomical amount of essential oils I was using - so much that I'm starting to get concerned about my liver and kidneys - I'm shocked that just keeping it clean and dry has worked wonders. I'd love to hear your thoughts. On the subject of your toenail infection - did you get it cleared up? Thanks for sharing this and especially your experience with oregano oil.

[@IAmHisBeloved5]

Hello, I hope all is well. Any update?

[@RevelationswithRabbi]

Do you also spray the inside of your shoes with vinegar or vinegar water 1:1? I found doing that helped me a lot. But i have had infection on my pinky toes since i was a kid..the undiluted castor oil on my toes and feet has given me the best results, personally. I like your videos and appreciate you making them. Thank you! ❤

[@04DynaGlyde]

Redmonds bentonite clay is great. Have you ever used mint in your foot powder mixture?

[@KarenTillery-ip4ki]

Show more.❤

[@wokevermontster9192]

When adding the essential oils I add them to the tapioca starch first then incorporate.

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Whichever way works best for you. I find just putting them all in a jar and shaking as I do with my toothpowder and deodorant to mix far more effectively than any other way I have tried

[@cherylmatthews7172]

You said the other day to use Vick’s. Even though it has p petroleum in it your using a small amount. It worked for me. Thanks and God Bless

[@RainCountryHomestead]

No, I did not say TO use it, I said some people use it and explained why it works for some but I do not necessarily recommend it, however, I DID try it for a time and though it helped, it never cured it

[@tennesseegirl1215]

Great info dear friend, blessings ❤

[@edieboudreau9637]

Have you tried washing your feet with the colloidal silver?

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Yes. The two things that have been working best are the foot soaks (the video I did yesterday) and the powder. The epsom salts in the foot soak softens the infected nail, breaking it up and thus making any treatment you add to it far more effective.

[@cerestaylor1039]

I love sliver works wonders.

[@cha2117]

Thank goodness I thought it was just me suffered with athletes foot. Tend to find it coming back every time I work out and after I shower which I don't do so much as I'm not out and about all the time. I find drying them hard and we only get little tubes of lamisol that cost about £8 in the UK and only last a week. I find toilet paper between toes help dry them out but they get wet again pretty quickly.

[@RainCountryHomestead]

You may be surprised to find out just how many people are dealing with toenail fungus and athlete's foot, it is crazy. Most simply will not talk about it because it is embarrassing. My guess is at least 50% of the people you meet are dealing with it in some form. at LEAST that many and likely more.

[@DebbiesHomeplace]

Awesome as always Heidi, thanks so much! God bless you and Mr Rain.

[@lynncraft3438]

I just discovered your channel. So excited to discover all you have. I have been fighting fungus on toe nails for years and have tried everything. Do you have any suggestions for soaks of further treatment protocols?

[@RainCountryHomestead]

This video is kind of old and while it helped, it never knocked it out completely for me. Epsom salt soaks do help break it down and one can add some antifungal herbs such as oregano to the soak but it take consistent repeating of the process. Right now I am using straight neem oil and am seeing the best results so far but still will not be able to say for certain for at least a month. Toenail fungus is VERY difficult to get rid of and even when one does find an effective remedy, it can take at least 2 months to really see a difference and it takes religious and regular application. Once I see definite positive results with the neem, I will be doing a video on that.

[@lynncraft3438]

@@RainCountryHomestead thank you so much! I want to try the tiger balm but it interferes with homeopathy. Another I haven’t tried is decolonized iodine - but it has ammonia. I’m afraid to commit to soaking in bleach as I’m not sure how it will affect micro biome. I have enjoyed all your videos so far! Thank you so much for replying! God bless you 💕

[@arevavaful]

The vinegar spray, may be too acidic for the purpose of killing the fungus, you may be feeding the fungus with the vinegar wash. The fungus will die off in a base pH environment... just a suggestion. Otherwise you're going from an acidic environment to a basic environment, and they're competing each other, if that makes sense. The internal turpentine therapy has immensely helped any Candida overgrowth that I had... I even put small drops on a small rash I had.. in addition to taking it internally once a week..😊💕

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Yes, I totally understand that fungus dies off in a high pH that is why baking soda is a good option. However, it will also die off in a high acid (or low pH). Clearly you would not want to use both baking soda and vinegar in the same remedy so that is why I am using the vinegar and not the baking soda. I have found that raising the acidity with the vinegar along with the foot powder (without the addition of baking soda) has been the most effective thus far, even over turpentine, which I have tried both internally and externally. I do actually have a video I did several months ago just on turpentine and its benefits and recommend that everyone keep some on hand as it has many benefits, however, it is not always going to work the same way for everyone in every situation. This is why I try to throw out several different ideas when making such videos. I did not think to mention the turpentine here but do mention its use for fungal infections in the turpentine video.

[@arevavaful]

Thank you for that clarification and explanation... I saw your video about turpentine.. very helpful.. I never had athletes foot.. but had fungal rash on forearm, of all the weird places 😀💕

[@RainCountryHomestead]

I have used it on scratches, cuts, and scrapes that got infected and it worked great!

[@digarcia1890]

Awesome info. Ty!

[@truthseekertoday2377]

I had a toenail fungus I cut back all of the toe nail and I soaked my feet in a foot soak of a couple tablespoon s of Clorox bleach soaking 2 times a day and Viola fungus gone. I did that for a month. And my nail grew back.

[@judykovach6912]

Hi, is that your homemade makeup you have on?...what’s the blush?...lovely 🤔🤗😉😍♥️

[@RainCountryHomestead]

I only wear my homemade make up and a bit of eyeliner, I do not wear blush or lipstick. I do make a facepowder but I may only wear it a couple times a year

[@judykovach6912]

Rain Country ...looks like blush today!...lovely 🥰

[@juliebaker6230]

After watching your video on thyme, I wonder if thyme oil would possibly be beneficial in the foot powder too.

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Yep, it would :)

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Thank you so much for this, I have all these ingredients, I make my own deodorant, but I didn't think about using these similar ingredients for athletes feet, my husband suffers from it, nothing helps, Do you care if I share this video on my Facebook page Whip-poor-will holler, God Bless,xoxoxo

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Please do share! Thank you!

[@switchhazel3517]

I haven't seen your toothpaste recipe. If you don't use baking soda...what do you use?

[@RainCountryHomestead]

I change it up all the time, there are so many options when making tooth powder. Sometimes I simply brush with plain coconut oil, which works great. Here is my more recent video but I need to update it again as I make it even more differently now: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5W5q4mkhddlqdk

[@RainCountryHomestead]

I had read about baking soda for fungal infections years ago out of a medical book so that is where I got the idea. I read that it has to have a balanced pH so either an acid like vinegar or a base like baking soda is suppose to kill it. Still working on the infection. The powder I made here was so far the best at getting it to recede but never totally killed it. I keep going back to the drawing board and am currently using a homemade cream with yarrow, thyme oil and some other herbs and oils I cannot remember. It is at least keeping it at bay so far.

[@reneep9968]

I was told by a dentist (who uses clove oil for tooth nerve pain) that Clove oil can kill the nerves. Have you ever heard this? My sister said that she uses 1 part Listerine (ingredients: mint 0.042%, thyme 0.064%, wintergreen 0.06%, eucalyptus 0.092%, 54 proof alcohol 26.9% and benzoic acid) 1 part Vinegar and one part Water as a soaking solution to get rid of fungus. She says its also really great for softening calluses. Blessings...

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Have not heard that about clove but I know it does numb the area temporarily

[@reneep9968]

What he uses may be medical grade & possibly stronger. Blessings...

[@manny-perez]

I now that you do not like to take medications, but I tell Lamasil tablets one a day for 90 days will take care of the nail fungus for good. You just have to make sure that you take it religiously every day for the full 90 days. This is prescription only so you have to get it from your doctor but it really works.

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Thanks Manny but I seem to be getting it under control using these methods and thus the reason I shared it.
