Oregano enhances athlete's foot treatment
Combined effect of heat, essential oils and salt on fungicidal activity against Trichophyton mentagrophytes in a foot bath.
Discusses oregano's combined effectiveness
We explored the effectiveness of oregano, along with heat and salt, against athlete’s foot caused by the fungus Trichophyton mentagrophytes. Through our study, we used agar blocks infused with this fungus and treated them in a foot bath using different conditions including essential oils, sodium chloride, and varying temperatures. Specifically, we wanted to determine how these elements could work together to combat the infection.
Our findings revealed that high temperatures, particularly at 42 degrees Celsius, were especially lethal to the fungus, killing nearly all of it after just 20 minutes. When we introduced oregano essential oil, we saw a significant enhancement in its fungicidal activity when combined with this higher heat, suggesting that the two could be a powerful pairing. In fact, the minimum concentration required to kill the fungus decreased significantly.
However, the addition of 10% sodium chloride further boosted oregano's effectiveness, indicating that salt played a key role by helping the essential oils adhere better to the fungal cells. Even at lower temperatures, oregano showed destructive effects on the fungal structure. Overall, these findings suggest a promising approach to treating athlete's foot with a combination of heat, oregano, and salt in a foot bath.

Effective for illness
I have relied on oil of oregano for years. At the first sign of feeling unwell, I take a couple of capsules, and it quickly resolves. I recommend checking the amount of carvacrol per dose; this brand has a higher concentration. I give my daughter, who began taking it at nine, one tablet three times daily when she is ill, and she has not experienced any adverse effects. This supplement is effective as a preventive measure against illness.

My husband started taking it for athlete’s foot, and I must say it worked well for him.
