Black Fungus and Its Homoeopathic Treatments 

Black fungus or Mucormycosis is a very rare infection caused due to fungi. It occurs when someone gets exposed to mucor mold that is very commonly found in soil, plants, manure, and decaying fruits and vegetables, and other organic sources. 

“This black fungus is a mold that can be seen everywhere, on our soils, fruits and vegetables, air and even in the nose mucus or other mucus found in the human body,” says Dr. Bhavana, MD Nidanam Homeopathy.

It commonly affects the sinuses that are supposed to be the gateways for the nose, the brain, eyes, and lungs. Black Fungus’s effects on these vital organs can prove to be fatal especially in diabetic and immune-compromised individuals.

It is believed that the fatality rate of mucormycosis is about 50% and may be triggered by overuse of steroids that at present is a commonly used protocol in treating Covid 19 Disease treatment. 

Steroids, no doubt help manage a patient with critical illness and is considered as an emergency drug but it also reduces immunity making a person susceptible to various other infections around us. And that may be a single-handed reason that has to lead to the triggering in cases of mucormycosis or black fungus. 

One more effect of the administration of steroids is it boosts the sugar levels and often creates a pre-diabetic condition in Non-diabetic patients again making them susceptible to the black fungus infection. 

“Diabetes lowers the body immunity and its defense mechanism, which is exploited by Covid and black fungus making body lay exposed to these deadly diseases.’ Says Dr. Bhavana Jain Agarwal.
