Hello, Daino how do I mix the Tea Tree Oil with the Lotrimin Ultra to obtain
the correct mixture for applying to my toenail fungus.
Thank you for your help

Hey - I saw someone’s post about paying 80$ for tea tree oil! I got mine at Trader Joe’s. The same one shown in the pic in the article. They also have it at Whole Foods. Or any natural store.

I am trying this now, and I hope it works!

Hi Tony, I’m going to try your suggestion. How much vinegar should I use?
Thanks.

I have had this dreaded affliction for some time now and there is
a way to get rid of it. It takes patience and a multi directional
attack. file the nail down as far as you can get it without
causing injury. Apply vaseline to your feet but not the nail. This
is to minimize any irritation to the skin.
Then soak the feet in peroxide, vinegar ,
clorox and tea tree oil. Soak for at least ten to fifteen minutes.
About two tablespoons of the peroxide,and bleach. About a
tablespoon of tea tree oil. Dry the feet and nail. Apply 100% tea
tree oil to the affected nails. A three week treatment of this
will get rid of this. Took me a while to figure this out.Good luck.

Tea Tree Oil does work but in order to keep it from coming back, you have to treat the fungus that is growing within your body. Take probiotics to start then get rid of the yeast in the digestive tract, which is what has caused the fungus on the toes in the first place.

To Chez about skin tags. A friend of mine went to her doctor for skin tags. The doctor numbed them and just snipped them off with sterilized scissors. I did the same thing using Anbesol as a numbing agent. Worked great.

Well, I did some research, it appears that there was a study conducted
on 60 people with onychomyscosis (toe-nail fungus)(p value<.0001). The
researchers found that 2% butenafine hydrochloride with 5% Tea tree oil
applying 3x a day for 8 weeks cured 80%, whereas just TTO 0% were cured.
here is the study:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=toenail%20onychomycosis%20with%20butenafine%20and%20Melaleuca%20alternifolia%20tea%20tree%20oil

now the TTO is easy to get but you may have to settle with Lamisil Ultra
which is non prescription and only 1% butenafine hydrochloride. But it
just may work. All the other 2% drugs happened to be prescription (mentax,
etc…).

Good luck to you all.

I have been having a problem with toenail fungus on my big toe on my right foot. I just started appluing TTO to the infected nail and surrounding skin today and will let everyone know how it goes. FYI, I already did the medication thing a year ago and it eventually got rid of the problem but now it is back and I don’t think I can do the medication thing again since it might be too much for my liver. To everyone else out there, good luck.

Ideally a combination of tea tree oil with Almond Oil & Jojoba Oil along with Tea Trea Oil is ideal to allows the Melaleuca extract(tea trea oil) to penetrate the nail to kill the fungus.
