We have been asked if there are natural solutions to these two problems which afflict many people of all ages, and the answer is yes! Whether it is\u00a0 athlete’s foot, the painful, burning, blistering,\u00a0 and cracking under and between toes; or whether it is nail fungus on the hands or feet, there IS help naturally.\u00a0 Nail fungus may result in yellowing, thickening or separation of nails.<\/p>\n

Both of these are\u00a0 fungal and or yeast infections, which place a strain on your body’s immune system,\u00a0 and should not be ignored. Treating these conditions naturally is important\u00a0 because many of the OTC (Over The Counter) and prescription drugs for these conditions can be very toxic to the liver. \u00a0For many people the fungus\/yeast is systemic, meaning it is in various body systems such as bowel and may also need internal herbal treatment. Some suggestions can be found here: Candida\/Yeast<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The main challenge is that you MUST be persistent with these treatments, meaning twice daily until the condition is gone. If you have had it for months or years, it can take several months. If it is recent, you will usually see results within 1 – 2 weeks. Here are the external protocols we have found to be very effective.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nail Fungus<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Step #1<\/strong>\u00a0 Soak affected feet or hands in hot salt water. This is easy to do while reading, watching TV or eating. 10 – 15 minutes\u00a0 in water as warm as you like with roughly 1 tsp. salt to 4 cups\/1 litre hot water. A more pleasant way to do this is\u00a0 walking in the water at a warm tropical beach, but if this is not an option, the former will work. If your nails are very hardened and thickened, judicious scraping with a nail file under the nail after soaking\u00a0 will help reduce thickness and make nails more open to the next 2 steps.<\/p>\n

Step #2<\/strong>\u00a0 Apply Tei Fu Oil<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a> to the affected nails. It only takes a couple of drops of this multi-purpose essential oil blend, which will penetrate better after the soaking. Try to get it under the nails.<\/p>\n

Morning and evening is best for steps 1 & 2. Then after evening treatment add step #3:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Step #3<\/strong>\u00a0 Fill finger or toe cott (purchased at any drugstore) with Silver Gel <\/strong>– usually 1\/4 to 1\/2 tsp. depending on size of finger or toe, and roll it over the affected appendage and leave on overnight. This will allow the nail to soak in the Silver Gel for an extended period of time, so the silver can eliminate the fungus. In the morning remove and start over with step #1 or if you do not have time for soaking, just wash, dry and apply Tei Fu Oil<\/strong> (Step #2).<\/p>\n

Although this may seem like a lot of time and trouble, once you get into the routine, you will find it easy to keep up and the results will be well worth it. If you miss step 1, the soaking, you can still do #2 and #3, but all 3 steps work the best. Anything is better than nothing! If you do not see results within one month, please contact our office. As mentioned in into above, some people have systemic yeast\/fungus and may need internal herbal treatment.<\/p>\n

Athlete’s Foot<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Step #1<\/strong>\u00a0 Soak affected feet or hands in hot salt water. This is easy to do while reading, watching TV or eating. 10 – 15 minutes\u00a0 in water as warm as you like with roughly 1 tsp. salt to 4 cups\/1 litre hot water. A more pleasant way to do this is\u00a0 walking in the water at a warm tropical beach, but if this is not an option, the former will work.<\/p>\n

Step #2<\/strong>\u00a0 Apply the Silver Gel generously under and between the toes. Wear clean dry cotton socks, or bare feet so your feet can breathe.<\/p>\n

Repeat Steps 1 & 2 m<\/strong>orning and evening. If no time for step #1, still do Step #2, applying the Silver Gel. <\/strong><\/p>\n
