Getting Rid of Nail Fungus

By Anna Latrobe

Having your nails infected with Fungus, can be an unpleasant experience, which can occur n either toe or finger nails. It is contracted by the fungi getting under your nail bed by means of a small cut or slit in your skin.

If you have nail fungus the following symptoms tend to emerge; firstly the nail starts to lose shine and color, the nail thickens, and the edges crumble and then the nail loosens from the nail bed.

However there are various ways in that you can treat nail fungus. It is vital to treat it as soon as you are aware that you have this condition because when it is left untreated, it will start to worsen and spread as the fungus feeds of your skin and nails.

There are people who try to cure their nail fungus by taking off their entire nail, which will only offer a short term solution because when the nail regrows it will grow with the infection. Another important factor to consider is that when you have this condition you are putting others at risk, and risking it spreading to other parts of your body. Obviously the consequences of this are that you should find a way to treat the fungus infection before you cause it to spread.

When you treat nail fungus you can either use topical or oral treatment, but the problem with conventional medication is that it can take from 6 to 12 weeks before you see the desired result.

A physician may suggest that you get rid of the infected nail, or for several people they might advise you to use a sort of laser treatment called photodynamic therapy.

These methods of curing nail fungus although they are sometimes effective they can create problems. The problem being that whilst they stop the symptoms they do not kill the fungus, so often people find that the nail fungus reappears. Taking this into account it suggests that you need to find a treatment which builds your body's immune system, kills the fungus so that it doesn't return and doesn't have any bad side effects.

Treating Nail fungus can be done naturally in order to avoid any damaging side effects. Using natural oils that have healing properties, such as Tea Tree oil, is a great to treat nail fungus and when used with other natural ingredients allows you to fight nail fungus without conventional medication.
