As many of our family are sports enthusiasts and gym members we hear on the Dyer homestead thought it would be a great time to launch our anti-fungal products.
Many of you know that last year Kyleigh had ringworm of the scalp. Which turned into Kerion and can lead to baldness in the effected area of the scalp. She was treated and thankfully all her hair grew back. Every decision comes with its own set of consequences and we are on a preventative mission.
This was the beginning of our aspirations of finding a natural anti-fungal product that does not come with unwanted side effects and that wouldn’t be harsh on the skin. After many months and research we came up with a natural approach to keeping ringworm and fungal infections at bay. All products are from our garden or reputable sources for product purity.
- [x] First in our line of defense is our anti-fungal soap on a rope.
It is a combination of goats milk and oatmeal soap. Designed for any skin type. All herbal ingredients used are antibacterial and anti-fungal.
And yes, this is used in our home regularly.
The soap will be most effective
when used immediately following training or match. When showering with our soap we recommend you start at the head and work your way down. Our hair holds contaminates that can infect us at a later time. The anti-fungal soap is safe to use in the hair that is shaved or closely cut. When cleaning the body use a mesh sponge or washcloth to work soap into a full lather (leave on skin for 1-2 minutes) then rinse.
- [x] Second in our anti-fungal line of defense will be the Anti-fungal pads. Designed to use on a moments notice. These 3 1/2 x 4 squares are cruelty free and 100% cotton. Very soft and gentle.
Our anti-fungal pads are not intended to replace showering but to clean the skin when you are unable to take a shower within hours of training or competing. This time frame is the critical window for contagions to develop.
The natural tea tree and lavender oil along with coconut oil, h**p baby soap, vitamin E and aloe that we use in our pads provide a spectrum of antimicrobial, antibacterial, anti-fungal benefits and promote healthy skin.
- [x] Third in the line of anti fungal defense we designed our anti fungal salve to provide fast and effective relief from most athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm.
This salve is a nice one to use for a variety of skin problems as it targets the root cause of fungal infections, helping to stop the spread while soothing irritated skin. Not only do the herbs in it contain anti-fungal and antibacterial properties, but some also support and promote cell regeneration for fast healing.
The last item on our list of products will be the pepper salve. I cannot rave enough about this save. If you pull a muscle or have joint pain from you match or workout this salve is wonderful.
- [x] It contains capsaicin. This is used in ointment form for pain relief. Ointments, balms and salves made from cayenne stop muscle and joint pain by "confusing" pain transmitters. We combined caster oil for its penetrating abilities along with cayenne and peppermint essential oil.
We recommend washing your hands after applying.
It is our desire to help our fellow athletes and sport enthusiasts to be the best they can be in any situation. Items can be purchased or if your club would like to do a fundraising event please contact us at Dyer Family Farm.
