Ringworm Treatment

 

A government hospital in Tamil Nadu, India is using fish to cure various skin problems. One of the doctors says this regarding the treatment

"Certain species of fish are allowed to bite the affected skin, could cure psoriasis, ringworm infections, cellulitis, sores and even some types of boils."

The affected area is applied with fruit jam and immersed in water. Two fresh water fishes are let into the water. One is loach and the other is silverfish. These fishes eat the bacteria along with the jam. As a result the bacteria will decrease, which will cure the ailment.

According to the doctor, this treatment is also being given in Iran which has recently started in India.Currently this is done twice a week to the affected people. The results are also turning out positive which means that it may be used in other places as well. This is a good news for people who want to cure ringworm.

This is most interesting stuff. Thank you for sharing. This is an indigenous remedy that is not readily available to people in the west. It certainly makes sense to use fungi-eating fish to help treat the infection. Some people may feel a bit squeamish about the method, but if it works, why not?
