Are there any remedies for toenail fungus?

[Guest guest]

tiger balm

 

sams at one time sosld it in cream form

the healthfoodstore sometimes has it

 

but : most certainly you can find it at your local chinese/oriental market . big bottle there [ holds about 4 fl oz - i think ] cost about 6- 7 $

 

there are some online sellers of oriental / chinese medicine , they do carry it

 

gab

shoot- I got tiger balm from local walgreens not that long ago.

[Guest guest]

My husband has nasty toenail fungus and I came accross this thread.

I was wondering if the new people who tried tiger balm/ camphor or

Vicks had any success.

Where does one get a solid Camphor block or what is the best way to

get camphor. I'd love to take care of this asap!

Thanks for any and all suggestions,

Deena

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.

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.

My husband had it on his thumbnails after he smashed them. We have tried vicks he even wears gloves at night. He has to wear gloves because his hands crack and dry so much. He has tried almost everything, vaseline, vicks, Also he has tried every over the counter med you can buy at the store. Still to no avail. We just purchased our silver to make our own colloidal silver machine. We need to order the tester to know what strength. Then he wants to try the CS. it is suppose to help with finger fungal. I truly hope so, he is so embarrassed to go out to eat with our friends he feels everyone notices it. I've heard it's not an over night cure. Something that takes time up to a year or so.

Besides oral lamisil (which has side effects and is very very expensive) you can try the following (but please allow a few months). 1) neem oil 2) Tea tree oil. Put the neem on once a day and the tea tree oil the other part of the day. Also, wear sandals and allow the toes to actually feel the air and see the sun.marsha cain <darersville2 wrote: My husband had it on his thumbnails after he smashed them.

*I would try this in addition to the other recommendations:

 

Every night have your Hubby soak his feet in a plastic tub of very

Hot water and Tea. How to make Foot Tea Rinse:(good for all skin);

 

*Boil up a quart of water; add 7=8 plain black or green Tea Bags(buy

the generic brand of Tea Bags which sell for about $2 for 100 bags).

 

Let the tea-bags steep for a 1/2 hour until the water is dark brown

or dark green if using Green-Tea. Then simply fill a plastic foot

soaking tub up partially with Hot water and then add the Tea-

concentrate you have made. Soak the feet for an hour and do this

every night for one month. This should clear up the

Fungus...tip...do not rinse the foot after soaking; add hot water as

necessary. The treatment costs less than $5 a month. This system can

also be used for the Hands but use the Green Tea for this.

 

Tip: You can add an Herb=Tea Bag such as Chammolie for the Hands.---

(Note after the Tea Rinse put Vaseline or a drop of oil on each nail

Something that takes time up to a year or so. If you find something
