If you have experienced trouble treating your nail fungus, don’t despair; you are not alone. It is a tricky condition to treat, and the reasons why this is so are explained in the book. It is also a condition which can reoccur. The good news is that there are several treatments available and one or more can solve your nail fungus problem. Every natural treatment is discussed in detail, giving you a step by step guide.
Of course, the advice your mother may have given you when you were a child still holds true today and prevention is indeed better than cure. Some of the ways to reduce the risk of nail fungus include -
• Avoiding being barefoot in public places like locker rooms and public swimming pools.
• Caring for your nails by keeping them trimmed short.
• Visiting only reputable, professional manicurists/podiatrists who work with sterilized instruments.
• Although it may be tempting to hide your nail fungus under a coat of colored nail varnish, it is best avoided, as this helps to trap the fungus further, making the condition harder to treat. The nail varnish itself can then become infected with the fungus as well.
• Ensuring you dry your nails thoroughly after bathing. Fungus thrives in a damp and dark environment.
• Wearing cotton or woollen socks. These types of socks allow for any moisture to be drawn away from your
toes, whereas synthetic socks can trap moisture causing your feet to sweat.
• Try alternating footwear, so you are not wearing the same shoes day after day.
• Consider putting anti-fungal powder in shoes.
• Washing socks after daily use.
• At home, going barefoot helps to give your feet time to ‘breathe’.
Once the condition appears you will need to find and start a course of treatment and we believe that natural is best! Some treatments work better with certain patients, so you may need to trial a treatment to find out which works best for you. Nail fungus takes time to treat and the severity of your nail fungus problem will determine just how long treatment is required. It is important to be patient and persevere until your nail fungus has been treated.
Please take heart in the knowledge that millions of people with nail fungus have successfully found a treatment which removes their condition and restores their nails to a healthy condition.
