Tea tree oil worked for me, but I did not like the smell.

I have used Original Listerine Mouth Wash with excellent result. I apply it
with an Eye Dropper every morning after the shower.

My nails used to be discolored fractured and pitted. Now, my nails are
perfect and my wife is jealous. No need for me to feel embarrassed at the swimming pool.

My fungus is long gone, but I still apply the mouthwash with an eyedropper
every morning. I don’t want the fungus back!

Be patient, after about 3 months you will see the deformed nail slowly being replaced with a beautiful nail.

Another plus, my shoes don’t smell anymore!

I have had fungus under my left toe and my left thumb nails for years and years. I tried everything until a foot doctor told me to use Tea Tree Oil. I have been using it now for about 2 months and it seems to have moved from under my nails. With that said I now have a red rash with tiny bumps now on my skin right below my thumb nail and toe nail. I keep putting TTO on it but it doesn’t seem to be doing much on this strange rash that must be the fungus that was under my nails???? What else could it be?? I did not read on anyone’s replies that this had also happened to them… I went online to see about this rash but haven’t found anything. Any ideas as to this red rash and what should I do about it.

From Experience Life December 2011: “Since these infections thrive only in a biochemically imbalanced and susceptible body. They feed on sugar and processed carbs and the acidic environment they create: Eliminate sugar, alcohol and processed foods from your diet as much as possible. Increase healthy immune-boosting foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables, and leafy greens especially. Take a probiotic supplement like acidophilus daily to boost good bacteria, and supergreen powder that includes spirulina, wheatgrass and chlorella to keep your body’s alkalinity high. You can also sip on tea made from pau d’arco, a South American herb with strong antifungal properties.”

I had a severe big toe nail infection about 18 months ago and it was disgusting looking. After searching the internet and reading about three tea oil I gave it ago.

Using 100% tea tree oil and after washing and drying my feet I applied the oil with a cotton bud I made sure to cover the nail well especially at the sides, I did this every day for months, very boring and the smell while it didn’t bother me it can drive some folk crazy.

It’s important to use it on all your nails as the fungus is easily spread.
Very slowly I began to see an improvement and today there is only a small corner tip of my nail that has to finish growing out.

On the badly infected big toe nail i keep scraping out the old dead fungus from underneath as much as I could in order to let the new nail grow out un-restricted.

A lot long and boring hard work but my nails now look like a picture of health. So it worked for me and that’s the truth.

Tea Trea oil does work, but if i put it in on in the morning I believe the scent is so strong, people can smell it through my shoes at work. Any ideas on how to solve this problem? Thank you.

I took care of a stroke-victim w/Diabetes. When taking her in for a pedicure, her Dr. told the Caregiver(s) to ‘brush’ the toenails with tea tree oil morning & evening (using a little paint brush). Her nails started clearing right-up!

Try and catch the fungus earlier, it has a better chance and faster chance of clearing up. keep feet as dry as possible ESPECIALLY AFTER SHOWERING DRY OFF GOOD, use sandals when possible, no nail polish as it can spread to other toes. Wash your bath mats every couple of days and get in the habit of spraying down your shower, use a clean bath towel everyday, use TTO twice a day under nail as possible and over nail. am and pm. in the evenings use vicks vapor rub by itself, rub on toenail. Always wash and clean toenail clippers with hot soapy water and alcohol. Also before treating feet clean with cotton ball and alcohol. It will take a while, but it will slowing go away. I hate it, but say a word of prayer and try your best and be consistent! Also get those toenails some sun, that helps a lot to. You will be on your way pretty healthy toes. When it is cleared up used TTO just as maintenance ABOUT 5 times a week in the am.

To clear up my toenail fungus that I developed last March, I used Dessert Essence Tea Tree Oil Skin Ointment in addition to 100% TTO. TTO was drying out my toenails and the fungus was not totaling clearing. This fall I began to apply the TTO before breakfast and then the ointment about an hour later. I wore open-toe sandals whenever possible during the day. I applied 100% TTO before going to bed. For the last month my toenails have grown out firm and are easy to clip. I maintain the good condition of my toenails by using the ointment on a daily basis in the morning.
I remembered the tea tree oil ointment from advice my sister-in-law gave my mother several years ago. Her mother had used the ointment three times a day to clear up her toenail fungus. I had my mother use it, also three times a day. Her fungus cleared up. Hope this helps!
