Top 4 Ways to Treat Nail Fungus

The technical term for nail fungus Skin Cell Pro Review is onychomycosis. It's a common problem that is particularly troublesome and hard to treat. The toenails seem to be disproportionately affected compared to the fingernails, and the big toe is the largest culprit. Almost 10% of Americans have it, and it is most common between the ages of 40 and 65. Onychomycosis happens because of a fungus. It digests keratin, which is the protective outer layer of the nails, hair, and skin. The keratin then goes into over-production, an excess is created, and it forces the nail to separate from the nail bed.
Treating nail fungus is pretty easy. Anyone can do it at home with simple natural herbs and essential oils that have proven to kill it. Certain essential oils like tea tree oil and oregano work especially well. Tea tree oil is a great germicide that has been proven in tests to kill bacteria, fungus, and common germs that live on the skin. Several dozen scientific studies have been done that show the effectiveness of tea tree oil in killing germs. It should be a component of any essential oil blend used to treat fungal infections.
Some things that can contribute to fungal infections include the following: a diet high in sugar, skin or hand contact with bad chemicals, artificial nail application, fingernail polish, drinking alcohol, and bad hygiene.
Essential oil application is one of the best methods of getting rid of toe nail fungus. Lavender oil is often combined with tea tree oil to help in cases of toenail fungus. It goes deep within the cell membrane of the fungus and causes it to break apart and defragment.
