Assessing efficiency of homoeopathic medicine Curcuma longa mother tincture in treatment of dermatophytosis

Abstract

Dermatophytosis is a widespread fungal infection affecting keratinised tissues including the skin, hair, and nails. It is caused by dermatophytes, which are grouped into three primary genera: Trichophyton, Epidermophyton, and Microsporum, and are further classified according to the site of involvement. Conventional antifungal treatments are often associated with limitations such as recurrence and adverse effects. This study aims to assess the clinical efficacy of Curcuma longa mother tincture, a homoeopathic preparation, in managing dermatophytosis. By evaluating patient outcomes, this research explores the potential benefits of homoeopathy as a supportive approach in the treatment of fungal infections.
