She is aware of her problem.But cannot do anything. How can this be cured?please help..

This is sounding like a case of OCD, or obsessive compulsive disorder. People have obsessions on hygiene, checking or obsessive thoughts. This is a biological condition and can be controlled effectively by medications and therapy. I would suggest she visit a local psychiatrist for treatment
