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.
