OHMYGOSSIP — Toe nail fungus is fairly disgusting and probably not a problem you want to deal with in the near or distant future. However, should you have to deal with this there are solutions that you can fall back on.

What is toenail fungus and how do you treat it?
Toenail fungus is exactly what its name says – a fungus. And the only way to kill a fungus is with a combination of oral and topical treatments. Most books and web sites only give you topical treatments for toenail fungus, and although these will work, if you don’t cure the problem internally as well you will eventually see your fungus return.

Nail fungus is a common condition that begins as a white or yellow spot under the tip of your fingernail or toenail. As the fungal infection goes deeper, nail fungus may cause your nail to discolor, thicken and crumble at the edge. It can affect several nails but usually not all of them.

If your condition is mild and not bothering you, you may not need treatment. If your nail fungus is painful and has caused thickened nails, self-care steps and medications may help. But even if treatment is successful, nail fungus often comes back. Nail fungus is also called onychomycosis and tinea unguium. When fungus infects the areas between your toes and the skin of your feet, it’s called athlete’s foot (tinea pedis).

You may have nail fungus — if one or more of your nails are:

    Thickened
    Brittle, crumbly or ragged
    Distorted in shape
    Dull, with no shine
    A dark color, caused by debris building up under your nail

Infected nails also may separate from the nail bed, a condition called onycholysis. You may feel pain in your toes or fingertips and detect a slightly foul odor.

Home Remedies and Natural Cures for Toenail Fungus that really work:
So here are the most potent internal and external natural remedies for toenail fungus you are going to find. Remember though, for any treatment to work you must be consistent in your efforts. If you are, you will see your toenail fungus vanish in just a few short months… and be gone forever!

Olive Leaf Extract: Olive leaf extract is an amazing “cure all” substance. It’s called “natures natural antibiotic” because dozens of research findings have found olive leaf extract to be the only substance discovered so far that can actually kill every virus, bacteria, fungus and protozoa it gets tested against!

Olive leaf extract is known to control and treat fungus problems such as candida and tinea, along with being one of the ultimate natural cures for toenail fungus. The reason it works so well is it destroys the fungus from the inside out, as well as killing any bacteria or parasites which may be unknowingly living in your body (you would be astounded to find just how many dangerous and life-threatening parasites actually grow and breed in your body).

So olive leaf extract has a twofold benefit. It not only kills the fungus, it will cleanse and detox the body so you will find yourself with more energy and developing less illness such as colds and flu.

Probiotics: Without enough “friendly” flora such as the lactobacillus bacteria residing in our bodies, the “bad” bacteria will easily gain dominance. This allows fungi to grow and thrive uncontrolled.

The lactobacillus bacteria produces a potent substance which kills the bad bacteria along with any viruses, protozoa and fungi. This includes candida fungus and nail fungus.

So be sure to also take a natural pro-biotic supplement every day to kill the fungus from the inside out (this does not include sugar or artificial sweetener filled commercial yogurt’s, or any “gimmick” pro-biotic supplements such as Yokult).

Your local health food store should be able to help you out with this or places such as Amazon stock a wide variety.
