Orlando, FL -- (SBWire) -- 06/27/2016 --Fungus dwell in water, plants, air, soil, and even in the human body. Humans can even get fungal infections on the lungs or skin through fungal exposure. One of the fungal infections on the skin is ringworm.

Individuals who suffer from ringworm may find a solution from using turmeric. Individuals with weakened immune systems are typically the ones susceptible to fungal infections. Topical applications are the typical treatments for fungal infections that affect the skin.

Medications are used for more serious internal infections. Fungus often thrives in warm, moist environment such as shoes and socks. Ringworm, contrary to popular belief, is not caused by worm. It is a fungal infection that affects the skin.

Ringworm, which has a medical term of tinea, causes crusted, scaly rash that develops as round, red patches on the skin. Other symptoms of ringworm are scaling on the scalp, hair loss, blister-like lesions, and itching.

This fungal skin condition affects people of all ages, but is common in children. It can be contagious and can easily spread from one person to another. Sharing personal items such as clothing, brushes, and combs is ways it can be contracted.

Locker rooms and pool surfaces are also places that people can get infected from ringworm. Animals such as cats and dogs can also be affected by ringworm. Pets may even transmit the skin condition to humans.

There are creams available that are formulated to fight ringworms. However, many of these creams do not seem to work or cause allergic reactions in some people. There are, however, natural remedies such as turmeric believed to be effective in fighting the skin condition.

Turmeric has a powerful healing phytochemical called curcumin, which contains antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antioxidant properties. It is believed that through this phytochemical, turmeric could potentially help treat or prevent fungal infections.

In some studies, it was found that turmeric could help individuals with Candida, asthma sufferers with fungus, and those with Aspergillus fungus. In one study, curcumin and turmeric oil were tested for their ability to treat guinea pigs with varying molds and yeasts.

It was found that turmeric oil has successfully inhibited pathogenic fungi growth. Turmeric oil has also been able to make some improvements in lesions. The antioxidants of turmeric are also thought to be effective in protecting the body from fungal infections.

Today, individuals who want to take advantage of the therapeutic benefits of turmeric may use curcumin supplements. The best curcumin supplements in the market today contain a black pepper extract which is a bioavailability-enhancing ingredient that increases curcumin absorption inside the body (amazon.com/curcumin-supplement/dp/B00JA4TLTI).
