Friday, July 13, 2007 New anti-fungal product relieves itch faster
RINGWORM, a common, general term for tinea, is a contagious fungal skin infection that is very common just about anywhere in the world, and among a considerable number of people—especially children.
It may be spread by skin-to-skin contact with an infected person; through contact with contaminated personal items (such as combs, towels, and clothing); or through contact with contaminated surfaces (like public shower walls and floors).
Sadly, topical agents out in the market today do not have a very impressive batting average when dealing with fungal skin infections. Commonly, these products are able to clear the features of such infections only about 30 percent of the time, and only about half of that is eventually cured. The word “eventually” here is an understatement since it usually takes up to eight weeks of daily use for complete healing.
Nevertheless, scientific studies have shown that nature has provided us with a rich supply of herbs to combat these types of skin diseases. Those that have been known to be effective against fungal skin infections include fruit extracts of Cnidium monnieri, root extracts of Sophora flavescens, rhizome extracts of Smilax glabra, bark extracts of Dictamnus dasycarpus, and the seed oil of Hydnocarpus anthelminthicus.
An excellent combination of these herbal extracts is found in the new dermatological product, Fungisol. This liquid preparation has been found effective in relieving itch within 30 minutes, and capable of clearing the other signs and symptoms in three days.
