Fungal conditions such as athlete’s foot can be difficult to eradicate. Spilanthes has traditionally been used in Europe for the treatment of fungal infections. Regular application will steadily resolve fungal overgrowth. Native to the tropics of both Africa and South America, this sharp-tasting plant may date from a time before the drifting of the continents. People of traditional cultures in the old and the new world independently discovered its uses. Alfred Vogel and his gardeners worked closely to select the best variety for this tincture, which can be used internally and externally. Alfred Vogel recommended alternating Spilanthes and Molkosan in order to attack stubborn fungi effectively.
