Have tried tea tree oil for tonail fungus. Don't think it worked. Anyone know of something else?

Question

Lamasil is an oral med that is really tough on livers. Has anyone tried any topical meds that did indeed work?

Answer 1

Unless you have liver disease your best bet is Lamisil Tablets. It worked great for me. I was totally shocked, because I had tried the over the counter treatments and soaking my feet in vinegar with fresh garlic. Those didn't work, but the Lamisil Tablets did.

Remedies for Toenail fungus
Toe nail fungus remedy using tea tree oil
Tea tree oil is a potent natural antiseptic and fungicide that will help fight your fungus. Apply undiluted tea tree oil with olive oil to the affected toe nail. Alternatively you can put few drops of tea tree oil on toenails and rub it thoroughly every day.
Using Listerine mouthwash
Soak your toes in Listerine mouthwash. The powerful antiseptic leaves your toe nails looking healthy.
Curing toe nail fungus using warm water and natural apple cider vinegar
Soak your toenails for 15 - 20 minutes in basin full of warm water and natural apple cider vinegar mixed in equal proportion. When done, dry your toenails thoroughly. Use a hair dryer on warm setting to absorb all the moisture in and around the toes
Tea tree oil and Lavender oil
Put equal amount of tea tree oil and lavender oil on a cotton ball or swab. Dab it under the top edge of the toe nail and surrounding area 2 or 3 times a day. Tea tree oil is natural antibiotic and lavender will help fight the infection and prevent skin irritation
Using Oregano and Olive oil
Blend 2 drops of Oregano essential oil with a tsp of olive oil. Apply this mixture on the affected area daily for NOT more than three weeks. Oregano essential oil has antiseptic, antibacterial, antiparasitical, antiviral, analgesic and antifungal properties
AHA creams
Lather AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) creams on to your feet before going to bed. This will flush the rough scaly skin from your feet that is more prone to growing fungus

Diet for Toe nail fungus
Diet for Toe nail fungus
Diet plays a very vital role in curing any ailment. People suffering from toe nail fungus should include more probiotics – good bacteria, in their diet. This will help your body to get rid of the fungus. Yogurt and kefir are good sources of probiotics. Reduce intake of refined carbs like sugar, dairy products and vinegar. Olive leaf extract is an excellent internal anti-fungal agent.

Suggestion for Toenail fungus
Wash your feet after visiting public places like swimming pools
The fungus thrives in warm moist areas like spas, swimming pools, showers or locker rooms. If you step on a warm puddle or floor, you can pick up the infection. After using such public places, it is ideal to wash your feet thoroughly and dry them well.
Wear cotton socks
Wear cotton socks to absorb moisture from the feet that happens from sweating
Dry your feet
If your socks are damp, take them off and dry your feet before wearing a fresh pair of dry socks.
Do not share linen with affected people
Avoid sharing towels, washcloths, shoes or any other personal items of those people who have already contracted this disease
Trim nails and avoid nailpolish
Keep your nails cut short, and don't use nail polish. Trim your toenails regularly. Trim them into a straight line and then smooth the edges with a nail file.

Answer 2

I've heard that Grapeseed oil extract is an excellent antibiotic and topical treatment for all sorts of things. It works well with water as a gargle (and if you swallow it it will basically work as an antibiotic - killing all the bacteria in your system so beware and eat your probiotic yogurts afterwards so you don't get a yeast infection). You could try a dilluted solution (with water) on your toenail. The key to any homeopathic treatment is to really do it regularly and for the right amount of time, otherwise you won't get the results you're looking for.

Vicks VapoRub.
