Nail fungus is a stubborn condition. There are lots of pharmaceuticals that can sometimes get rid of it for a while, but it will almost always return.
And every time you need to treat the nail fungus, you’ll have to suffer the side effects of the pharmaceuticals.
Fortunately, there is a natural oil that is at least as effective as the pharmaceuticals to tackle nail fungus… without the side effects.
This oil has been thoroughly researched. And in today’s article, we’ll talk about two studies that reveal the amazing effectiveness of this oil.
In the journal Mycopathologia, scientists released a study in 2013 that tested tea-tree oil on nails on the laboratory.
They infected nails with fungi, applied tea-tree oil, and then measured the diameter of the fungal colony that was growing on those nails.
When they applied nanocapsules of tea-tree oil, the colony managed to grow to only 2.88 mm2 (square millimeters), compared with the 38.72 mm2 of the untreated nails.
The Journal of Family Practice also ran a study in 1994 in which the authors tested tea-tree oil and clotrimazole against each other. Clotrimazole is a pharmaceutical treatment against fungal and yeast infections.
Their 117 subjects were given a twice-daily treatment of either a 1 percent clotrimazole solution or 100 percent tea-tree oil for 6 months.
After six months, approximately equal percentages of subjects in both groups were partially or completely cured (60 percent for the tea-tree oil and 61 percent for the clotrimazole). But while 11 percent of the clotrimazole group were completely cured, 18 percent of the tea-tree oil group were.
The same percentages in both groups continued to report improvements three months after the study had ended (55 percent for clotrimazole and 56 percent for tea-tree oil).
Now, while this shows that tea-tree oil is probably as good as pharmaceuticals, it also proves that pharmaceuticals are not very promising to heal nail fungus.
The reason is that both treatments only attack the fungus from the outside. To permanently get rid of nail fungus, attack it from both the inside out and the outside in using the simple natural steps explained here…
