The present invention relates to a natural
antifungal formulation made with a combination of essential oils, tinctures, and hydrosols obtained from aromatic and medicinal
plant species for the control and treatment of the
fungus Trichophyton rubrum, the causative agent of athlete's foot. The essential oils of Thymus vulgaris L.,
Tagetes lunulata Ort., and
Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merr. & LM Perr. that comprise it exhibit
antifungal activity by inhibiting
fungal growth. In addition, the
essential oil of
Lavandula angustifolia Mill. and
Salvia rosmarinus Spenn., along with the
hydrosol of
Salvia rosmarinus Spenn., have an anti-inflammatory effect. This is a natural alternative with no adverse effects and can be used by immunocompromised individuals and those with chronic illnesses.
