8. Turmeric

Turmeric contains curcumin, which has anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties and is effective at treating ringworm. One study showed that guinea pigs with ringworm and treated with curcumin had improved symptoms within two to five days and that the lesions were gone after six to seven days.

Mix turmeric with a small amount of water to make a paste and apply it to the affected area. Allow the paste to dry, then wash it off with warm water. Turmeric has a deep yellow-to-orange color and may temporarily stain the skin.
