a Non-prescription Way to Clear Up Toenail Fungus Posted: 05-05-04 22:57pm
If you have nail fungus or the medical
term is onychomycosis - essential oils can
be very effective.
The key phrase here is "non-prescription,"
because one of the ironies of this
condition is that it's not harmful to your
overall health, but the drugs used to
address it definitely can be. Have you
seen some of those toenail fungus
commercials and listened to the side
effects which include headaches, nausea,
rashes and even blood disorders. .
After researching this condition, I have
found that one of the most common natural
treatments for toenail fungus is
therapeutic tea tree essential oil. This
is very hard to get rid of and is not
something I could get rid of overnight, so
I have taken this a step further - I found
that a blend of tea tree, oregano and
several other essential oils which have
the same healing properties works wonders.
I also discovered that liver damage is
also enough of a danger that when taking
prescription drugs you need to have liver
function tested during the medication
period, which can take up to a year or
more. I assume that's because toenails
grow very slowly, and the healing
progresses at the same slow speed.

Hello, antiagingchoices:
i have come to a similar conclusion, that
tea tree oil combined with certain herbs
really does get rid of my toenail fungus.
I had to put the stuff on for a few
weeks, but the greeny/black fungus is
going away, and the new nail growing in is
clear. I'm sooo happy!
I used a 70/30 liquid solution of dmso and
aloe vera juice. Worked great. I also
use a 70/30 dmso/aloevera gel for pain
relief (sore muscles, tendons, etc).
Absolutely amazing at how quick it works.
Just be careful where you get it and make
sure it's pure.

What is dmso?
Go to forladiesonlyparty.Com. It is a
lingerie web site but also has great all
natural body care stuff too. I bought
something called miracle oil ($15). It
has essential oils in it, tea tree oil and
others. You can use it on almost
anything. I have been putting it on my
craked heels.

I've tried most of the home remedies for
toenail fungus. A mixture of vinegar
and vicks vaporub worked for me, for now
at least. I still have to apply vinegar
occasionally. Some people mention
bleach, but I wouldn't mess with that,
it's such a powerful chemical. Saw it
here:
A newspaper Dr. Recomened suggests
rubbing vicks on it twice a day my hosband
did & his fungus went away it does
take awhile tho u have to stick at it

Hello,
I have reviewed the information for DMSO
and I was wondering if somebody has
experienced this
medicine. Can we consider this as a
common way of healing?
Thank you.

A friend of mine tried a combination of
home remedies but with no success.
He eventually had to have his toenail
remove. So I think the best way is to
talk
to a doctor and find a safe way of getting
rid of the fungus. Education is the key!
