Nail Fungus? This Oil Stops It Fast

Antifungal medications for nail fungus often come with harsh side effects.

But a new study in the Journal of Fungi reveals a natural solution. It both stops fungal growth and breaks it down from the inside out.

This powerful remedy works fast, targets the most common nail fungus, and has zero side effects.

Researchers tested tea tree oil on three fungi commonly responsible for nail infections: T. rubrum, T. schoenleinii, and T. tonsurans. They found tea tree oil to be particularly effective against T. rubrum, which needed only a small amount of the oil to stop growing.

Takeaways:

1. Most Effective on T. rubrum: This common nail fungus was highly sensitive to tea tree oil.

2. Resistant Species: T. schoenleinii showed more resistance due to its thicker cell walls, which make it harder for treatments to penetrate.

3. Consistent Results Across Brands: Regardless of the brand, the oil worked equally well in halting fungal growth and breaking down cell walls from the inside.

Thanks to active ingredients like terpinen-4-ol and eucalyptol, tea tree oil penetrates deep and disrupts fungal cells.

For the best results, use tea tree oil that contains at least 35% terpinen-4-ol and 15% eucalyptol.

Diluting it with a carrier oil, like coconut or olive oil, ensures safe application to avoid skin irritation.

This study was conducted in a lab. And while it’s proven effective in a lab setting, the challenge in real-life applications is that nail fungus lives under and inside the nail—making it a tough target.

Our approach to nail fungus is a little different. It attacks the fungus from both inside and out. Therefore it doesn’t matter how thick its protection is. That’s why it works for almost everyone. Plus, it’s 100% natural and requires no supplements or creams. Learn more here…
