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.

The pills are easy to swallow and have a mild effect for treating Candida. I apply it to my nails and feet for athlete’s foot, and when diluted with coconut oil, it works effectively without being harsh.
