(Medical-NewsWire.com, March 06, 2015 ) Westendorf, Tirol -- Unpleasant foot odor affects at least 20 percent of the population at any given time. It's an embarrassing problem and can cause physical discomfort. What many don't realize is that their foot odor may be the result of a fungal infection.
"We believe people are not always aware that smelly feet can be a fungal infection," said Helga Riedmann, founder of Mountainbreeze Naturals. "We're trying to increase awareness on how to prevent and treat the condition."
Fungal skin infection is most common as athlete's foot, but the same fungi causes ringworm on the body and jock itch in the groin area. It affects men, women and children of all ages, is easily transmitted, and especially prevalent among athletes and physical fitness aficionados. Fungal infections are a particular problem for those with a weak immune system or diabetes.
While a multitude of remedies have been tried throughout the centuries, modern science has demonstrated that tea tree oil is an effective treatment and preventative for fungal skin infection. Tea tree oil uses are well-known among Australians as an antiseptic, a topical anti-inflammatory, virus disrupter and antifungal.
A variety of precautions can be taken to avoid infection or reinfection by foot fungus. The fungi are long-lived and highly contagious, making it essential to keep hands and feet clean and dry. Wearing sweat absorbing socks, sandals or shoes that provides room for feet to breathe helps. Footwear should be made of materials that enable excess moisture to escape.
To help mitigate catching a fungal infection, people should never go barefoot in public places. Pedicures are fashionable, but can easily facilitate the spread of fungal skin infection. It may be tempting to hide unsightly fingernails or toenails under a coat of polish or with artificial nails, but both can trap moisture and worsen infection.
As part of Mountainbreeze Naturals' commitment to helping individuals treat and prevent fungal skin infection and eliminate foot odor, the firm offers Funga-Free, an antifungal soap of tea tree oil. The company combines the essential oil with other pure botanicals for a natural and organic alternative to pharmaceuticals and chemical-laden treatments.
