According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a synergistic herbal antidermatophytic nanoformulation, comprising a mixture of essential oils derived from Curcuma longa, Zingiber officinale, Citrus limon, Citrus sinensis, and Trachyspermum ammi, in combination with metal oxide nanoparticles. The composition exhibits potent antidermatophytic activity and is particularly effective against Trichophyton verrucosum, a causative organism of ringworm infection in cattle and humans. The essential oil mixture disrupts the fungal cell wall and cell membrane and causes denaturation of essential fungal enzymes, resulting in inhibition of fungal growth. The composition is formulated with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or bases, including petroleum jelly, to obtain a topical cream, ointment, or gel suitable for dermal application. The invention provides a safe, effective, and synergistic herbal-nano formulation for the treatment and management of dermatophytic infections."
