A perfect natural solution not to have yellowed nails because of a fungus …
It’s summer vacation time. And who says “summer vacation” says “swimming”. If they are done in the pool, prudence is essential since we walk barefoot. Mycosis quickly arrived around the nail, under the sole of the foot or between the toes (a wart too). This fungal infection due to dermatophytes (often the candida albicans) is not serious but remains very contagious and unsightly since the nail becomes yellow … natural treatments such as baking soda or certain essential oils are deemed “anti -mycosis”.
There is a particularly effective against mycoses of the feet thanks to its antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties. Its molecules have the capacity to fit into the membrane of certain mushrooms such as the candida albicans, which causes their elimination. Its main compound, α-terpinène, is fungicide and the presence of P-Cymene gives it a slightly analgesic effect which completes its anti-infectious effects.
This is tea tree essential oil (Tea Tree). Just apply a few pure drops on the area to be treated or mix it up to 10% with non -oily vegetable oil, such as jojoba oil, or aloe vera gel which both have an antimicrobial activity. Another option: prepare an express anti -mycosis express synergy: 60 drops of HE of Tea Tree, 30 drops of HE of geranium rosat, 20 drops of rosewood and 5 ml of jojoba vegetable oil. Mix in a bottle and apply a few drops to the area to be treated morning and evening for 3 weeks or more if necessary until total healing (in this case, take a weekly break every 3 weeks). This essential oil can also relieve herpes, whose thrusts can return with the sun and warts.
Tea tree essential oil should not be used in pregnant women under 3 months old and children under the age of 7. Persons should request medical advice before use (high dose epileptogenic risk). For those who don’t like its smell “Comparable to a background mold of boat holder” As Philippe Banel describes, aromatherapist in the “great guide to essential oils, hydrosols and vegetable oils” (ed. DBS), the tea tree hydrosol can be used. It is also known for its sanitizing, antibacterial, antiseptic and antifungal -spectrum properties. For the treatment of yeast infections, simply spray the hydrosol on the area to be treated.
