ABSTRACT

Rainy weather can cause skin-related diseases, including bacterial and fungal infections. Ringworm, a common
fungal infection, affects 20-25% of people and is caused by dermatophytes. Common types include Tinea corporis,
Tinea capitis, Tinea pedis, Tinea cruris, and Tinea unguium. Ayurvedic plants are used to treat ringworms, with
some having properties related to their treatment. These plants can be extracted to create medicines for ringworm
and itching. Ringworm oil is used for herbal or medicated oils formulated to treat ringworm, containing antifungal
and soothing ingredients to relieve itching, redness, and inflammation. Herbal oils are used for various purposes,
including skincare, haircare, massage, aromatherapy, and natural healing. The objective of herbal ringworm oil is
to provide a natural and effective remedy for treating ringworm infections by leveraging specific herbal oils'
antifungal, antibacterial, and soothing properties.
