Fungal infections, particularly those occurring in skin folds near the stomach, can be uncomfortable and persistent, especially in older adults. In Ayurveda, such infections are often attributed to an imbalance of Kapha and Pitta doshas, leading to excess moisture and heat in the body, which promotes fungal growth.
To address this issue, it’s crucial to adopt a multi-faceted approach that includes dietary modifications, lifestyle changes, and herbal remedies. Begin by focusing on a diet that reduces excess moisture and heat. Incorporate foods that are cooling and easy to digest, such as fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while avoiding sugary, processed foods that can exacerbate fungal growth. Additionally, ensure you stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and herbal teas, such as those made from neem or tulsi (holy basil), which possess antifungal properties.
For topical treatment, you may consider using a paste made from Neem leaves or Turmeric powder mixed with water. Neem is known for its potent antifungal and antibacterial properties, while turmeric can help reduce inflammation and promote healing. Applying coconut oil mixed with a few drops of tea tree oil can also provide relief, as both have natural antifungal effects.
In addition to these remedies, maintaining good hygiene is essential. Keep the affected area clean and dry, and consider using natural powders, such as Sandalwood or Multani Mitti (Fuller’s Earth), to absorb moisture and soothe the skin.
If the infection persists or worsens, it’s important to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner who can provide a comprehensive evaluation and tailor a treatment plan specific to your needs, possibly including internal herbal formulations such as Khadirarishta or Guggulu, which can help manage fungal infections from within.

Dealing with a fungal infection can be really annoying, right? Ayurveda's holistic approach might help you here, along with some patience and perseverance.
Firstly, let's talk about topical applications. You could try mixing neem oil with coconut oil. Neem, known in Ayurveda as "Sarva Roga Nivarini" (cure for all ailments), has strong antifungal properties. Just make a small batch by mixing equal parts and apply it gently on the affected area twice daily. Coconut oil also helps by moisturizing the skin and has mild antifungal properties of its own.
In addition, there's an ancient herbal formulation called "Mustakarista" which can be taken internally. You should consult an Ayurvedic practitioner to make sure it is appropriate for your constitution and dosha balance, as it involves detoxification and balancing Pitta and Kapha, often linked to skin issues.
Diet plays a big role too. Avoid excessive sugar, oily, and fried foods since they can increase Kapha and potentially worsen fungal infections. Instead, opt for a diet that includes more fresh vegetables, bitter foods like karela (bitter gourd), turmeric, and plenty of water to keep your system in balance.
One more thing to try is yoga and pranayama to increase your body's natural immunity. Stress can lower your immunity, and regular practice can boost it back up. Simple breathing exercises can reduce stress and enhance digestion, which is always a key factor in healing according to Ayurveda.
Remember, consistency is key... Follow these steps, give your body time, and if it seems to persist or grow, don't hesitate to get it checked by a doc cause immediate medical care is sometimes needed for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Hope this gives you some relief and helps you regain comfort. Stay positive and take care of yourself!
