Fungal infection is one of the common problems faced in today’s’ daily life. Pollution, sweat, environment, and lifestyle are some of the factors affecting fungal growth. Skin and nails are the areas in our body that are prone to fungal infections. A simple itch or a growing rash can be the first sign of fungal infection as there are negligible side effects involved. Fungal contaminations are hard to detect. If you see discolouration of your nails, stubborn red rashes, and constant itches, please visit a dermatologist.  

In most cases, simple home remedies can prevent fungal growth and cure the area. In complicated cases, doctors prescribe antifungal creams to stop the infection from spreading further. It is essential to get to treat the disease else; there can be severe consequences. A very traditional and ayurvedic way to treat fungal infection is Neem. From ancient times Neem has been considered as the best way to fight fungal infections. 

Neem or ‘Azadirachta Indica’ is derived from the neem tree (Indian Lilac) is an effective medicine against several skin diseases. The holistic value of Neem is extracted in various forms like neem soapneem oil, neem capsules, neem ointments, and neem shampoos. Neem contains essential minerals like fatty acids, limonoids, vitamin E, triglycerides, antioxidants, and calcium. In the market, neem soaps have created wonders in fighting fungal infections. 

You can prevent fungus growth by cleaning your hand, feet, armpits, neck, and joints using neem soaps. Dry your skin evenly after washing with soap and maintain basic hygiene in your lifestyle.

The neem soap is made using neem oil which is extracted from the barks and leaves of the neem tree. The soap has powerful anti-inflammatory and antibiotic properties that kill the fungal growth in the affected area. Prevent yourself from walking on barefoot, using clean undergarments and wash your hands after touching a street animal. The fungal infection spreads very quickly, especially for the gym-goers and for those you stay unclean. 

Neem also helps in treating dry skins, wrinkles, persistent scars, wounds, acne, and warts. Prolonged use of Neem can help in reducing skin diseases like eczema and psoriasis. In fact, crushing raw, clean neem leaves around a wound can bring immediate relief. Consuming neem juice can treat symptoms of diabetes, and cooked neem leaves in curry can bring ample health benefits. Neem is scientifically, traditionally and globally considered as one of the most holistic approaches to treat skin and hair troubles.
