Today I will share recipes to treat various types of skin diseases, such as Athleteโs foot, eczema and scabies. As usual, I will use natural ingredients for every recipe I use. I want to share my knowledge and experience, so that we can continue to pass on prescription natural medicines to future generations.
The following prescription for skin disease, taught by my neighbor when I was in high school, I can still remember the recipe well.
Before I share the recipe, it helps us to know what diseases can be cured with this recipe.

- Athleteโs foot (Tinea pedis)
Athleteโs foot are a type of skin disease caused by fungi, which generally attack the toes and fingers. Athleteโs foot usually attack damp toes and fingers, for example wearing shoes when your feet are wet with sweat or wearing socks that are wet from rain, can also attack your toes and fingers due to an allergy to soap/detergent when washing clothes.
The result of a fungal infection that causes Athleteโs foot is itching accompanied by a feeling of heat, if it is continuously scratched it can cause black marks on the scratch marks. In order not to get infected with Athleteโs foot, we can take precautions, namely always use dry socks, if the feet are still wet, we can wipe them before using socks and shoes. If we have made prevention efforts and are still exposed to this skin disease, then we can do medical and traditional treatment using natural medicine. for example, try a traditional herb made from turmeric. - Eczema
Eczema is a type of skin disease that usually arises due to an allergic skin reaction to something. Dry eczema usually recurs at night, characterized by skin that feels dry and causes itching, which is even worse the emergence of small lumps filled with fluid, when scratched and the lump breaks, the itching gets worse.
In order to avoid and prevent us from eczema, we must know what materials can make our skin allergic, for example allergies to clothing made of fur, so we must avoid physical contact with materials made of fur. - Scabies
Scabies is a type of skin disease caused by a small animal called the mite Sarcoptes scabiei (similar to a tick). Scurvy is characterized by very severe itching in the area infested with mites, mites usually attack the skin that is not kept clean. The itching caused by this mite causes a red rash on the skin, scabies can attack any part of the body that these mites like. In order for us to avoid scurvy, we must always keep ourselves and our environment clean.

What ingredients do we need to treat skin diseases like Athleteโs foot, eczema and scabies?
The first ingredient we need is coconut oil. Coconut oil is made from mature coconuts which contain a lot of coconut milk (it is better to use green coconuts). The way to make it is that we grate the old coconut and we take the thick coconut milk, after that we cook the coconut milk until it boils and we continue to cook it until the coconut milk thickens and crystallizes releasing a fragrant oil, usually we need the fastest 5 hours to make this coconut oil from 5 old coconuts, that's why many people are lazy to make this coconut oil themselves, because it takes a long time and extra patience is needed to keep stirring the coconut milk, so that it becomes good quality coconut oil.
If there is no coconut oil, we can use cooking oil.
The second ingredient we need is turmeric rhizome, if we buy turmeric rhizome in the market, then choose an old turmeric rhizome (parent turmeric), if not available, you can use ordinary turmeric, the most important thing is to choose an old one, marked with a dark yellow color. If we grow the turmeric ourselves, then we choose a turmeric plant that has flowered and we look for the parent turmeric rhizome.
