Licorice root contains glycyrrhizin acid which eliminates the underlying cause behind many common forms of fungus found on skin surfaces especially due to increased sweating in hot weathers like in India during summertime! Giloy (Tinospora Cordifolia) helps boost your immune system naturally while also fighting off any further spread of fungus if you are already infected too! Cinnamon can be mixed with water to form a paste before being applied directly onto affected sites for an immediate cooling effect but should be avoided internally due to its strong taste coupled with possible side effects from ingestion in large amounts over long periods
