Ingredients

Dermisil for Athlete's Foot is made from 100% pure plant extracts. The active components of Dermisil for Athlete's Foot are high levels of alpha-terpinene-4-ol, and cineol, both compounds found in the plant extracts cymbopogon citratus, melaleuca alternifolia, and two additional powerful anti-fungal extracts, that have well proven properties shown to be highly effective in combating these fungal conditions and their complications.

The topical application of these extracts is lipophilic. The extracts absorb into and underneath your skin as soon as they are applied. We travel the world in search of only certified plant extracts that are pesticide-free and United States Pharmaceutical Grade.

Active ingredients in Dermisil for Athlete's Foot are: cymbopogon citratus, melaleuca alternifolia, and two additional powerful anti-fungal plant extracts.

Antifungal activity of the components of Melaleuca alternifolia. Hammer KA, Carson CF, Riley TV.

AIMS: To investigate the in vitro antifungal activity of the components of Melaleuca alternifolia oil (an active ingredient of Dermisil for Athlete's Foot). METHODS AND RESULTS: Activity was investigated by broth microdilution and macrodilution, and time kill methods. Components showing the most activity, with minimum inhibitory concentrations and minimum fungicidal concentrations of < or =0.25%, were terpinen-4-ol, alpha-terpineol, linalool, alpha-pinene and beta-pinene, followed by 1,8-cineole. The remaining components showed slightly less activity and had values ranging from 0.5 to 2%, with the exception of beta-myrcene which showed no detectable activity. Susceptibility data generated for several of the least water-soluble components were two or more dilutions lower by macrodilution, compared with microdilution. CONCLUSIONS: All Melaleuca Alternifolia components, except beta-myrcene, had antifungal activity. The lack of activity reported for some components by microdilution may be due to these components becoming absorbed into the polystyrene of the microtitre tray. This indicates that plastics are unsuitable as assay vessels for tests with these or similar components. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This study has identified that most components of Melaleuca Alternifolia have activity against a range of fungi. However, the measurement of antifungal activity may be significantly influenced by the test method.

Melaleuca alternifolia in the Treatment of Tinea Pedis (Athlete's Foot).

Tong MM, Altman PM, Barnetson RS.

Melaleuca Alternifolia (an essential oil derived primarily from the Australian native Melaleuca alternifolia) has been used as a topical antiseptic agent since the early part of this century for a wide variety of skin infections; however, to date, the evidence for its efficacy in fungal infections is still largely anecdotal. One hundred and four patients completed a randomized, double-blind trial to evaluate the efficacy of 10% w/w Melaleuca Alternifolia cream compared with 1% tolnaftate and placebo creams in the treatment of tinea pedis. Significantly more tolnaftate-treated patients (85%) than Melaleuca Alternifolia (30%) and placebo-treated patients (21%) showed conversion to negative culture at the end of therapy (p < 0.001); there was no statistically significant difference between Melaleuca Alternifolia and placebo groups. All three groups demonstrated improvement in clinical condition based on the four clinical parameters of scaling, inflammation, itching and burning. The Melaleuca Alternifolia group (24/37) and the tolnaftate group (19/33) showed significant improvement in clinical condition when compared to the placebo group (14/34; p = 0.022 and p = 0.018 respectively). Melaleuca Alternifolia (10% w/w) appears to reduce the symptomatology of tinea pedis as effectively as tolnaftate 1% but is no more effective than placebo in achieving a mycological cure. This may be the basis for the popular use of Melaleuca Alternifolia in the treatment of tinea pedis.

Herbal medicines for treatment of fungal infections: a systematic review of controlled clinical trials.

Martin KW, Ernst E.

Complementary Medicine, Peninsula Medical School, Universities of Exeter and Plymouth, Exeter, UK.

Traditional medicine has made use of many different plant extracts for treatment of fungal infections and some of these have been tested for in vitro antifungal activity. This systematic review evaluates antifungal herbal preparations that have been tested in controlled clinical trials. Four electronic databases were searched for controlled clinical trials of antifungal herbal medicines. Data were extracted in a standardized manner by two independent reviewers and are reviewed narratively. Seven clinical trials met our inclusion criteria. Melaleuca Alternifolia preparations were tested in four randomized clinical trials and some positive outcomes were attributed to the intervention in all trials. Solanum species (two trials) and oil of bitter orange preparations (one trial) were compared with conventional treatments. In all cases encouraging results were reported. There are few controlled clinical trials of herbal antifungal medicines. The most thoroughly clinically tested is Melaleuca Alternifolia, which holds some promise. All herbal remedies require further investigation in rigorous clinical trials.
