Fungus Infections

The fungi that cause athlete's foot, ringworm, also known as Tinea, and jock itch are plantlike organisms that thrive in damp, dark conditions. They produce rashes that are itchy and mildly contagious.

How Herbs Can Help

Gerainium oil Because of it's ester content, geranium is a strong antifungal agent effective against Canidida albicans , while it does not disturb bacterial flora.

Goldenseal (Berberine) Berberine and other supporting substances in goldenseal trigger white blood cells to seek out bacteria, viruses, fungi, and even tumor cells.

Neem Oil This tree's oil has pesticide properties and may be useful against scabies when applied to the skin. The oil also has antibacterial and anti-fungal activity.(White,Linda B., M.D. )

Thuja Externally, herbalists use an infusion of thuja as a wash for infectious skin diseases such as impetigo or scabies. An ointment is a reputed cure for warts. A hot compress eases rheumatic pains.(Mabey, Richard p56)
