Are there any remedies for toenail fungus?

[Guest guest]

Hi, I am new here and I was wondering if there are any natural

rememdies for toenail fungus?

 

I live in the tropics and I own horses, I spent 8 months of last

year dealing with a mud pit and with 3 pairs of wet weather boots

that never seemed to dry. I could not get the dirt out from

underneath my toenails. After the rainy season ended this past

winter I noticed that my big toenail had become white in some spots

and reddish on the nail bed. In the corner it looks like the nail

has lifted off the nail bed, one of my horses did step on me once so

I think that maybe it could have been that but, this has been at

least 4 months since and the discoloration is still in the same area

and the white spots don't seem to be growing out.

 

I went to a GP who gave me a refferal because he wanted a 2nd opion

since the nail fungus meds on the market are very hard on the liver,

he did not want to misdiagnose me.

 

Does any one know of a good home remedy for this?

 

Thank you all,

Leslie

Tea Tree oil does the trick. This fungus is very very stubborn and it can take months to kill it. Don't give up! I've been apply tto for 4 months now and I feel I finally have it under control. Barb

I had this several years ago. I took an eyedropper and saturated the area with plain old rubbing alcohol 3 times a day until the nail grew out past that point and I haven't had it since.

How often do you apply it, and how? Straight from the bottle? In a

carrier? We tried this, but didn't help, but we didn't try for more

than 8 weeks, I think, at a time. We also tried Oil of Oregano, but it

dries my nails and toes out too much.

 

I do think, though, that wearing all natural, and organic if possible,

cotton or wool socks make a huge difference in the fungus. I spin and

knit up my own wool socks and my feet love me for it! Now on to the

cotton!

My husband had a bout with toenail fungas a year or so ago, and his doctor

told him to run Vicks Vapo Rub on & under the nail twice a day. In about a

week you could see a difference, and in another few weeks it was completely

gone. Since then when he notices it trying to come back, he just uses the

Vicks for about a week and it goes away.

 

Sure beats taking a Rx pill that afffects your entire body!

I don't know about toenail fungus, but I will tell you my story.

 

I smashed my toe one time, and somehow it got infected and wouldn't

heal.

 

That hurt, that was a nightmare. Nothing I tried would get it to

heal, for 2 years I tried everything I read about, and nothing

happened.

 

I read that Saw Palmetto berry extract was curing people of an

enlarged prostate, it would shrink it back down to normal, so I

took a chance, I bought some, the kind with alcohol, I wrapped my

toe in gauze and soaked it in the extract, went to bed, woke up, and

all the swelling was gone, but still had an open wound, I wrapped it

up again, put on the extract, went to work.

 

Came home, and it was completly healed. Very soft new skin, but all

healed. All I had to do was be careful while the skin strenghened.

 

I think that saw palmetto extract kills bacteria, I think it's a

very powerful bacteria killer. I don't know for sure, but thats my

guess.

Vinegar will remove your toenail fungus,but you have

to apply it everyday.

 

I use a Q-tip to apply it.

 

I've also heard soaking your nail in vinegar will work

just as well.

[Guest guest]

How bad was the toe nail fungus? Mine is covering two

toenails and disfigured the nails as well as spreading

to the first of the little toe nails (the pointers in

fingers terms). Is it the camphor that treat the

fungus then?

Yes Camphor is the ingredient that works on the fungus. I wanted to see what others came up with first but I can tell you that I have used all these and with little real success. The Tea Tree Oil might work for others but all I get is a slowdown then back with a vengeance! By far the very best thing I have used to date is a block of Camphor shaved into regular Kerosine till it wont accept anymore then paint the toenail everyday with the disolved camphor and the nail will look better in ten days and after a month usually the fungus is gone for good. Nothing works real fast that I have found due to the nature of how the fungus is under the nail and in the nailbed. DonPeta Celleste <petacelleste wrote: How bad was the toe nail fungus?

Straight from the bottle twice a day. Make sure it is 100% pure tto and not a diluted form. I also scraped the spongy fungus out from under the nail as best I could twice a day. I did this before applying the tto and I tried to get it underneath the nail as best I could. I'm also a barefoot freak. I only wear shoes when I absolutely have to. Keeping the toenail exposed to air and as dry as possible will also help termendously. If you find it dries out your skin too much you can use a carrier oil. I prefer coconut oil. Don't give up! Somewhere I read that it can take up to a year or even longer. Barb

Hi, I was given the recipe years ago and never changed it. I dont like the idea of Kerosine either its a petrochemical but always thought it might be an equation in the killoff of the fungus? Ive made this stuff for years and have given it to literally hundreds of folks and to my knowledge when put on the toenails faithfully as instructed, I've never had it fail!. I'll give Ethanol a try but not sure if it will dissolve the Camphor cake or not? The curative rate of Tea Tree Oil varies so much I just gave up on it and prefer to use what I know will work virtually everytime when done correctly.

well- its my understanding that fungus is a result of candida overgrowth. therefore acidophilus or eating yogurt and reducing a poor diet or too much sugar and yeast feeders will get rid of it for good. yeast correcton got rid of it in my right foot, my left still has it but left was very bad.....

[Guest guest]

If I remember correctly, a daily soak in apple cider vinegar has also been suggested previously...

If you don't mind the temporary coloration, an effective Asian

remedy is a paste made with equal parts turmeric and henna powder

mixed with a little filtered/ distilled water. Apply on affected

toenail making sure you work it into the cuticle and underneath the

toenail.

 

If pure henna powder(the real stuff with no dyes added) is not

available then just use turmeric paste. This should also work.

This isn't always true. I got mine from a filthy creek I walked alot thorugh. I used plain old rubbing alcohol. When you take a bath your nails become soft, you have to do that with the alcolhol, you have to saturate the infected nail with it to the point that it's soft. Mine was on the left big toe and almost half the nail became infected and wasn't even attached. So I know the alcohol works, it worked for me.Melisa <On_A_Quest wrote: well- its my understanding that fungus is a result of candida overgrowth. therefore acidophilus or eating yogurt and reducing a

sorry, I didn’t mean ONLY from candida but usually. just like any health issue. I would imagine I go mine from contact with it directly as well since candida didn’t cure me. just meant generally is all.

Like you I had was given alot of advice, but they all said it would eventually come back. The only one that didn't was the person who used the alcohol.

Alcohol works very well...Also you can try Tea Tree oil. But only use it 2 times a day. Morning and before bed. Dont be a smart-*** like I was and doubled the treatment. I used it for little wounds on my head. It made me dizzy and sick to my stomach. I hope this works for you. I havent had nail fungus since I used the Tea Tree oil.

Hi Don-

Thanks for this. I just order some camphor. I am going to give this a shot....

 

I have tried it all with no true success.., but this sounds interesting....

 

I used to put black walnut hulls paste on which worked good for between the toes, didn't quite get into the nails..... but I ruined a lot of socks with that stuff!!

 

anyways thanks again....I will share with the list my results after a month of daily use.....

Hi Rob, I think you will find as many others have, that this is a very quick ( by toenail fungus standards) way to get rid of it! Keep dosing about ten days past the time your sure its gone.You will start seeing results and change within a week or ten days of applying twice daily.if you see peeling dry looking skin arround the nail this most likely is the same fungus only infesting the area arround the nail and i apply this to it also. I live in Asia and coming by Camphor as a solid block is not so easy. I have recommended the product called Tiger Balm to people with almost the same good results, it contains a large amount of Camphor also. I am not too sure if its available in the States or not? if you do know it you can give it a try it seems easy and effective as well.A friend of mine just told me yesterday that it cleared her Toenail Fungus up completely after battling it for two solid years.She applied

it twice daily and got results in a months time. DonRob Combis <rcombis wrote: Hi Don- Thanks for this. I just order some camphor. I am going to give this a shot.... I have tried it all with no true success.., but this sounds interesting.... I used to put black walnut hulls paste on which worked good for between the toes, didn't quite get into the nails..... but I ruined a lot of socks with that stuff!! anyways thanks again....I will share with the list my results after a month of daily use.....

herbal remedies Subject: RE: Herbal Remedies - Are there any remedies for toenail fungus? Yes Camphor is the ingredient that works on the fungus. I wanted to see what others came up with first but I can tell you that I have used all these and with little real success. The Tea Tree Oil might work for others but all I get is a slowdown then back with a vengeance! By far the very best thing I have used to date is a block of Camphor shaved into regular Kerosine till it wont accept anymore then paint the toenail everyday with the disolved camphor and the nail will look better in ten days and after a month usually the fungus is gone for good. Nothing works real fast that I have found due to the nature of how the fungus is under the nail and in the nailbed. DonPeta Celleste <petacelleste wrote: How bad was the toe nail fungus?
