Why Suffer from Nail Infections?

Toenail fungus is also called as Onychomycosis. 
It is a very common fungal infection. The nails affected by this infection appear cloudy and also grow thicker.  Infected nails might also start to crumble and get separated from the nail bed. It can be a painful and embarrassing condition.

One need not live with this discomfort!  Two of the most common cures for toenail fungi are oregano & tea tree oils.

Oregano contains carvacrol, which is believed to be the ingredient that acts actively well against fungi. Oregano also has powerful antiseptic and antibacterial properties.  

Tea tree oil, derived from the leaves of the native Australian Melaleuca alternifolia tree contains antiseptic and anti-fungal compounds that are a very effective skin disinfectant.
Tea tree oil contains terpenoids, which have been found to have antiseptic and antifungal activity. The compound terpinen-4-ol is the most abundant and is thought to be responsible for most of tea tree oil's antimicrobial activity. 

Together, these oils pack a powerful punch on fungal infections.

Organic Tea Tree & Oregano oils along with jojoba and grapeseed oils are the sole ingredients in Josiah’s Oils Nail Serum.  Our nail serum and be applied 2 to 3 times per day on the infected
nail. 

I note that there are a few oral prescription drugs can help cure nail fungus but have serious side effects -like liver damage and seizures. They can also be quite costly.

Always check with your doctor and be aware that these oils should never be ingested.

I think it can be a very dangerous infection to humans

You put really very helpful information about Nail infection I am looking to reading your next post. Many people suffer from fungal nail infection, which is basically an infection of the nails caused by fungus. I will bookmark your blog and have my children check up here often.
