[Everything doTERRA] Re: finger nail fungus

Many years ago, I developed a nail fungus under the nails on both big
toes from trekking in wet boots for several days in Nepal. My doctor
refused to give me a prescription for the internal anti-fungal
medication because of its high toxicity. No argument from me once I
was aware it was so dangerous. So I just ignored the condition for
many years until I learned about and started using essential oils.
Thank goodness for the oils. By that time, both nails were 3/4
unattached from the nail bed!

Morning and night, I dropped one drop of oil at the free edge of the
nail. I could feel/see some improvement in about 2 weeks. I used a
variety of oils - oregano, melaleuca, lemongrass, clove, an
OnGuard'ish blend - each for a week or two and just kept alternating
from one to another. Within about a month, it was obvious that the new
nail growth was attaching until finally they were entirely normal.

At that point there was no sign of the fungus except when I stopped
applying an oil for a few days and a slight itch would develop.
However, applying an oil 3 or 4 times a week for a while it was
finally gone completely.

Moral of this story? Use various oils and stay persistent. Good idea
to put cotton balls laced with oils in shoes and boots to disinfect
them too.
