Tel Aviv. Israel -- (ArriveNet - Oct 01, 2005)
-- Research focused on the biological activity of
extract from the Israeli medicinal plant Inula viscosa
found that the extract provides high efficacy topical
treatment for Athlete foot. The medicinal plant Inula
viscosa that grows in the wild in Israel is well
recorded in the local traditional medicine for its
efficacy in treatment of fungi, skin ailments, wounds,
arthritis and infections. Avisco is now cultivating
Inula viscosa as a standardized crop in Israel, the
first company to introduce the plant from the wild and
cultivate it as an organic crop for extraction of its
valuable extract. The research conducted by Avisco Ltd.,
a small Israeli based R&D company was first
triggered by traditional medicine claims and anecdotal
user reports about the efficacy of Inula viscosa
extract. Avisco's research found the extract to be a
potent anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti fungal
natural agent. In earlier clinical trials conducted for
Avisco Ltd., the extract was found to provide
efficacious topical treatment for Osteo-arthritis. A
pilot clinical study in progress conducted for Avisco
Ltd. by AMA labs. (NY), shows significant efficacy of
topical application, the study conducted on severe cases
of Athlete foot sufferers indicates that itching redness
and stinging disappeared in 3 days. Athlete foot affects
millions of people. The new natural Inula viscosa
treatment could offer a viable herbal alternative for
those who wish to use natural products. More information
