There are lots of pharmaceuticals that can sometimes get rid of it for a while, but it will almost always return.<\/p>\n
And every time you need to treat the nail fungus, you\u2019ll have to suffer the side effects of the pharmaceuticals.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, there is a natural oil that is at least as effective as the pharmaceuticals to tackle nail fungus\u2026 without the side effects.<\/p>\n
This oil has been thoroughly researched. And in today\u2019s article, we\u2019ll talk about two studies that reveal the amazing effectiveness of this oil.<\/p>\n
In the journal Mycopathologia<\/em>, scientists released a study in 2013 that tested tea-tree oil on nails on the laboratory.<\/p>\n They infected nails with fungi, applied tea-tree oil, and then measured the diameter of the fungal colony that was growing on those nails.<\/p>\n 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. <\/p>\n The Journal of Family Practice<\/em> 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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).<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n
