Medical Forum / General / Cardiology / March 2006Fingernail Fungus
Hi, Has anyone ever had a fungus under the fingernail? I have it under my ring finger. I've heard about the medications you can take, but having Afib I don't want to take any more meds...Any answers please. Maybe an OTC med? Thank you so much....Nel : Hi, : Has anyone ever had a fungus under the fingernail? : I have it under my ring finger.

Thank you so much....Nel Externally applied essential oils can help. Some good antifungal essential oils are tea tree, oregano and tagetes among some others. Most essential oils need to be diluted before applying to the infected area, but tea tree oil and lavender oils can be used on small skin areas without diluting. Do some google search about it. I have not had fingernail fungus but I have treated athlete's foot successfully with essential oils (tea tree and lavender). My athlete's foot did not respond to any medication, so I was very glad to find this alternative solution which worked quite quickly and without any side effects. I was able to get rid of the problem completely.  SignatureJuhana Hi and thanks guys. My fingernail seems to be pulling away from the finger. Doesn't seem to be an infection or anything else..How do you get this anyway, hands in water to much? Where do I get the essential oils and also how do I get the grapefruit seed? Do I go to a health food store? Thanks so much.....Nel > : Hi, > : Has anyone ever had a fungus under the fingernail?

Perhaps a bit off but athletes foot a nasty fungus can be cured by pissing on the affected body part. Do it in the shower. Weird Huh?

Do I go to a health food store? : Thanks so much.....Nel Well, if there is fungus as you said, there is a fungal infection even if it does not look like that (if you want to have a diagnosis you should to go to a doctor). I guess you can find essential oils from alternative health stores, at least in Finland where I live that is the case. You could start by trying if plain, undiluted tea tree oil applied 1-2 times a day to the infected area would work. Just one drop of tea tree oil at a time it is enough. If that does not work in a couple of weeks, you can experiment with other essential oils I mentioned. It is best to dilute them to some base oil, like almond oil. When applied locally to small skin areas only you can dilute 8 drops of essential oils to 15 ml (1 tablespoon) of base oil. Apply 1-2 times daily. The other option is to try grapefruit seed extract as suggested to you by "J ‘O’- DEE". You can buy grapefruit seed extract from the alternative health stores. misc.health.alternative added. -- Juhana ::: Hi, ::: Has anyone ever had a fungus under the fingernail?

I'll try the Tea Tree oil first. I have an appointment with my Dermatologist next month. Don't know how I could have got such a thing unless its the damp weather and hands in water. I'll try this first before I call him. I got some vinyl disposable gloves yesterday to wear when my hands need to be in water. I live in Ca. and it's been damp and wet here. I think the health food store would have the tea tree oil..thanks very much...Nel Hi O" Dee, I don't think I can take the grape fruit extract if it's a pill. I'm afraid of the medications I take will interact. I looked at Google and it seemed it was a pill. Is that what you meant, a pill?.thanks.......Nel > : Hi and thanks guys. > : My fingernail seems to be pulling away from the finger. Doesn't seem [quoted text clipped - 53 lines] > :: -- > :: Juhana Grapefruit Seed Extract.... It comes in a little bottle with a dropper..... I had horrendous 'tinea pedis' (athlete's foot) due to a series of many medical procedures and diagnostics - must have picked it up walking barefoot to xray, MRI, etc. for my leg last year... I kept a bottle of this in the shower - I would put 3-4 drops on my wet hands and rub it in for a minute or so..... I also have a spray bottle - water and about 10-12 drops..... If I am barefoot or in slippers, I will give a few little random sprays throughout the day.... They say to never put it on 'full-strength' but I don't consider it to be full strength when I use it in the shower.... I have a friend who had the one funky fingernail - lifting off the nail bed - peeling, etc. for over 2 years. She used it and it did wonders for her. Do a Google search on it... It's amazing what it can be used for.... I buy the Inno-vite 'Yeast Busters' brand.... It is also good for one when they travel where one is at risk for 'Montasuma's Revenge.' Take the capsules and it creates an environment where those little bugs don't want to get too comfy.... -- J O- DEE > Hi Juhana, > Can Olive oil or vegetable oil be substituted for the almond oil?
