Clove
Clove is a great homeopathic remedy for athlete's foot. Applying clove oil or clove powder to the affected area daily can alleviated the itching of the infection.

Tea Tree Oil
Tea Tree Oil may be used on athlete's foot, ringworm and yeast infection. Tea tree oil should be diluted with water before application, as pure tea tree oil can cause skin irritation. Apply diluted tea tree oil to affected areas daily. For yeast infections, dilute in warm water to use as a douche.

White Vinegar
Soaking in a white vinegar bath can relieve toe nail fungus or athlete's foot by disrupting the pH balance of the skin, thereby thwarting the growth of the fungi.

Turmeric
Turmeric, ground into a paste, can be applied to the infected area and will kill the fungal infection. Simply mix turmeric with water until it is a paste, and then apply to the fungal infection.

Raw Garlic
Raw garlic can be used to alleviate the pains of a fungal infection. Puree the garlic in a blender, or find garlic extract, and apply to the affected area daily.

When to See a Doctor
Most homeopathic treatments for fungal infections can remedy the situation, but if the fungal infection remains or gets worse, it is advisable to seek treatment with a doctor. Persistent fungal infections can be indicative of a more serious medical condition that can only be diagnosed and treated by a professional.
