The Science Behind Fungus-Free Feet
Foot fungus thrives in dark, moist environments—but struggles to survive in oxygen-rich conditions. Research reveals simple strategies to create an inhospitable environment for fungal growth:
- ✔️ Dry brushing increases local circulation by 40%, flooding tissues with oxygen
- ✔️ Tea tree oil (in Sore to Soar®) disrupts fungal cell membranes with 96% efficacy
- ✔️ Alkaline environments (pH >7) inhibit fungal colonization
Understanding these principles allows you to prevent infections before they start using affordable, natural methods.
