Effectiveness Of Individualized Homoeopathic Medicine In The Treatment Of Fungus Disease (Tinea Capitis)- A Case Report
Main Article Content
Abstract
Fungus diseases are known to impact millions of lives. However, the epidemiology of fungal infections varies in different geographical regions, being dependent on multiple factors including at-risk individuals, socioeconomic attributes, and fungal endemicity related to geo-ecological characteristics, all leading to substantial impacts on health. Fungal diseases can be difficult to diagnose and treat. The modern system of medicines makes the usage of external application like ointments, fungicides etc. which leads to suppression or palliation. So the disease tends to recur often and becomes a chronic disease. There is wide scope in Homoeopathy for treating fungal diseases esp. Tinea infections.
