For treating ringworm infection with Ayurveda, use both internal and external remedies. Topically, apply neem oil, turmeric paste, or Jatyadi Tailam twice daily for their antifungal and healing properties. Internally, take herbal formulations like Gandhaka Rasayana (for antifungal action), Kaishore Guggulu (for blood purification), and Manjisthadi Kwath (for detoxification) to help clear the infection. Follow a Kapha-Pitta balancing diet by avoiding sugar, dairy, and fried foods, and include garlic, ginger, and turmeric for their natural antifungal effects. Maintain good hygiene, wash the area with neem-infused water, and wear loose, breathable clothing. This comprehensive Ayurvedic approach can effectively help manage and prevent fungal infections.

Ah, those pesky skin fungi, they can be pretty stubborn, right? You've been trying medicines and still having a tough time overcoming it, let's see how Ayurveda might offer some relief. So, ringworm? It's like a classic case of Pitta dosha imbalance, where heat and dampness in the body might contribute to this irritation.
Here’s a thing to try: neem. It's fantastic! Either you can get neem leaves or find neem powder. If you’ve got fresh leaves, making a paste with a little water and applying it on the affected area can be pretty effective. Leave it on for about 30 mins before rinsing it off gently with lukewarm water – maybe do it once or twice a day.
Now, turmeric also works like magic! Its antibacterial properties help a lot. You could either mix a small amount of turmeric powder with a bit of water or, if possible, with neem paste and slather it on. It might stain the skin yellow, though... but it's worth it.
Paying attention to what you eat is another good call. It's better to avoid too much spicy, oily, or fermented stuff. Keeping your Agni, the digestive fire, balanced helps in detoxifying. Maybe reduce sugar and dairy that can aggravate the condition.
Don’t underestimate the power of routine, too. Use clean towels and clothes and wash them frequently. Keep your skin dry and airy since fungus thrives in moist places. If you've access to sunlight, a bit of exposure to sun helps, but don't overdo it – you know, sensitivity happens.
Bathing with water infused with a few teaspoons of cooling herbs like sandalwood or rose is soothing for the skin. Try mint leaves in the water, as they provide a cooling effect.
A reminder though, if the infection gets worse or you notice unusual symptoms, don't wait. Visit your health professional to ensure nothing more serious is going on. Ayurveda can do wonders, but staying safe and informed is always the thing!
