Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 ===================================================== Toe nail fungus The best way to rid oneself of this common affliction is to attack it in a few different ways simultaneously. For some people topical application works very well. For others the problem stems from the internal environment of the body being off balance, which allows the growth of fungus and yeast. If you do not see significant improvement after a couple weeks of topical application then consider supporting the immune system, and attacking the yeast internally as well. The following essential oils are recommended for external application and have been proven effective: Tea Tree Oil Tea tree oil is an effective all round anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal oil. Most frequently recommended for the treatment of athletes foot, candida, in fact any sort of fungus. This oil can be applied each morning and night by dropping the oil on a cue-tip and applying to the effected area. It has a mild smell so it can be used in the morning before work. It is generally excepted that this oil can be applied directly to the skin and does not have to be diluted. You may mix it with a little olive or massage oil if you like. Oregano Oil Oregano oil has been tested against a variety of microorganisms and is found to exert a high degree of anti-fungal, anti-parasitic, anti-viral and antibacterial actions. Oregano is perhaps the most powerful herbal anti-fungal agent known. It is a very "hot" oil and will irritate the skin if applied directly on it. Mix 1-2 drops with a teaspoon of olive oil or any massage type oil. Apply to toe nail with a cue-tip. Because the oil has such a strong smell it's recommended you apply it in the evening before bed and cover with a sock overnight. Other oils that offer anti-fungal action as well: thyme, cinnamon, clove and lavender. Often a combination of oils often works better than one particular oil, as fungus is very stubborn and one oil may be more effective against it than another. Repeat daily and be consistent. Note: In order to get results, it is important that the essential oils you use are of the highest quality. Lack of regulations in the industry allows that a oil can be labeled 100% natural but only contain 10% essential oil. Nature’s Sunshine uses 100% pure essential oils. If you feel your immune system needs to be strengthened, consider using these supplements internally for 30 days. Yeast Fungal Detox Three capsules per day thru one bottle Defense Maintenance Three capsules per day (an antioxidant formula that builds your immune system, so it can better fight off fungus and yeast.) Bifidophilus Flora Force Three capsules per day, thru one bottle (keep refrigerated) this formula helps to rebuild the good bacteria in your intestinal tract that helps combat yeast. ========================================================= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
