Guest guest Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Jill, I heard of one case when someone combined DMSO with tea tree oil to treat toenail fungus, and had to go the hosplital into a decompression chamber becuase he got a bad reaction from it. I Think it's safe to assume that anything that is not fit to drink should probably not be combined with DMSO. , " Jill A.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Hey all, This is awfully mechanical (though it certainly could be thought to stimulate the jing-well points!), but what about buffing the nails? I used to have a wonky, " dented " thumbnail and, after filing and buffing it (with various " roughnesses " - you can get those combo nail filers/buffers for less than $2 at the drugstore) every now and then over the course of a year or so. It had been like that for years, and I don't know if there was any fungal infection - it wasn't discolored or anything - and I never used any topical treatment. Now the nail grows out perfectly normally. Anyone else tried this, with a patient? In any case it seems that a little light filing/buffing would make the surface more receptive to topicals.

I know a dog who was poisoned with straight tea tree oil so I think it is fair to be careful with it in any case. Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Use Oregano oil instead of Tea Tree, a lot of people have adverse reaction to Tea Tree Oil. Alexander Zide L.Ac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 Pretty much any Chinatown herb store I've been to has stocked a version, the latest one I've seen is a small box about 2.5 " high and 1 " square with a dark blue and white pattern, the old one was about the same shape but red. It comes in a little plastic dropper bottle. I often find it near the die da stuff, embarrassing itch creams, herbal patches, and topical medications. The latest is clearly labeled TUJIN LINIMENT, though, curiously, the " active ingredients " panel does not mention tu jin pi...

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Beata, " soaking the affected foot(feet) in warm water and apple cider vinegar twice a day is great. " What is the concentration, and how long should the patient soak? Thanks, Diane Bryson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Hi Diane, I have my toenail fungus patients soak their feet in a solution of about 1 gallon warm water and 1 cup apple cider vinegar for 20 minutes twice a day. After the soak, I tell them to thoroughly dry their feet and massage tea tree oil into the affected toenails. This has to be done religiously so as not to give the fungus a new 'toe hold', so to speak. Best Wishes, Beata Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
