Fungal infection, or mycosis, is a skin disease caused by fungi, such as yeast or mold that thrive in warm, moist environments.
Fungal infection, or mycosis, is a skin, nail, or internal body disease caused by fungi that have multiplied uncontrollably. Fungi are common in the environment (soil, air) and on the body; when they grow unchecked, they cause symptoms like itchy, red rashes, or thick, brittle nails. Common types include athlete's foot, ringworm, and yeast infections.
Homeopathy approaches fungal infections by focusing on strengthening the body's immune system to fight the infection, rather than merely suppressing the symptoms. It is a holistic system that addresses the root cause of the infection and aims to reduce the high rate of recurrence.
