Fungal Infection
Root-Cause, Non-Steroid Healing at Sparsh Garbh Sanskar & Ayurved Centre
Fungal infections recur when internal moisture, toxins, weak digestion, and low immunity remain untreated.
At Sparsh Garbh Sanskar & Ayurved Centre, Nagpur, fungal infections are treated through classical Ayurvedic detoxification, gut correction, immune restoration, and recurrence prevention without steroid dependence.

Understanding Fungal Infection from an Ayurvedic Perspective
In Ayurveda, fungal infections are not considered a superficial skin problem. They are understood as manifestations of Krimi, Kleda, Ama, and Rakta–Pitta–Kapha imbalances, in which excess internal moisture and toxins create an environment conducive to fungal growth.
Modern medicine suppresses fungus externally.
Ayurveda corrects the internal terrain, thereby preventing the fungus from surviving or returning.
Types of Fungal Infections Treated at Sparsh, Nagpur
Fungal infections may differ in appearance, location, and severity, but their internal root remains similar.
After evaluation, Sparsh commonly treats conditions listed below.
- Ringworm (Tinea corporis)
- Groin fungal infection (Tinea cruris / jock itch)
- Athlete’s foot (Tinea pedis)
- Recurrent candidal skin infections
- Fungal infection in skin folds
- Chronic itching, redness, scaling, and burning
- Steroid-modified or repeatedly relapsing fungal infections
Each case is treated individually based on constitution and chronicity.
Why Fungal Infections Become Chronic or Recurrent
Before treatment, it is essential to understand recurrence. Most patients experience repeated fungal infections because the root causes are ignored.
Common internal triggers include those listed below.
- Weak digestive fire (Mandagni)
- Excess internal moisture (Kleda)
- Gut–skin axis imbalance
- Improper food combinations
- Excess sweating with blocked skin channels
- Long-term steroid cream usage
- Stress-induced immunity suppression
Without correcting these factors, external antifungal treatment offers only temporary relief.
Ayurvedic Diagnosis at Sparsh Garbh Sanskar & Ayurved Centre
Each case of fungal infection undergoes a detailed Ayurvedic assessment before treatment begins.
The evaluation includes:
- Prakriti (body constitution)
- Dosha dominance (Pitta–Kapha focus)
- Digestive strength and toxin load
- Sweat pattern and skin texture
- Recurrence history and steroid exposure
- Diet, lifestyle, sleep, and stress analysis
Based on this, a Prakriti-based personalised treatment plan is designed.
Ayurvedic Treatment for Fungal Infection
(Root-Cause Based, Non-Steroidal)
Treatment at Sparsh follows classical Ayurvedic logic and progresses in phases.
Internal Detox and Dosha Correction
The first phase corrects the internal environment responsible for fungal growth.
- Deepan–Pachan to strengthen digestion
- Ama pachana to reduce toxin circulation
- Pitta–Kapha balancing medicines
- Liver and blood purification support
- Immunity stabilisation
This phase is crucial for long-term control.
Panchakarma Support for Chronic or Recurrent Cases
In long-standing or repeatedly relapsing fungal infections, detox therapies are advised selectively.
Depending on assessment, therapies may include:
- Virechan for Pitta and Rakta shuddhi
- Raktamokshan in indicated cases
- Takradhara or supportive calming therapies when stress is a trigger
Panchakarma significantly reduces recurrence when done correctly.
Internal Ayurvedic Medicines
Internal medicines address immunity, blood purity, digestion, and skin nourishment.
Commonly prescribed herbs and formulations include:
- Neem, Patol, Khadir for Rakta shuddhi
