Fungus can attack any part of the body; however, toe nail fugal infection is the worst. Once, fungal infection sets in the toes; it usually proves to be an incurable malady. In America itself more than 10% of the populace suffers from it. However, it is rarely found in kids unless ofcourse one or both the parents are inflicted with it. It has been observed that the most rampant fungi’s are Candida and dermatophytes. Incidentally, Candida is a yeast infection. Both these funguses attack the nails, however, dermatophytes go for the toes. If the fungal infection is mild then can be treated with the aid of anti-fungal creams and lotions and if it happens to be a severe fungal infection then chemical antibiotics may be required. However, the safest treatment is herbal treatment. Incidentally this fungal infection is also known as Nail fungus or simply fungal infection.

Lavender is a very good herbal treatment for toe nail fungal infection. The oil of lavender should be applied to the affected area with the aid of cotton wool thrice daily; as it has skin soothing propensities. One month of this application would suffice in resolving the symptoms of toe nail fungus. Another potent herbal treatment for toe nail fungal infection is the application of pure and unscented coconut oil. The directions for use are similar to lavender oil. The bark of splinter bean tree is also a very good herbal treatment for toe fungus. All you need to do is to make a paste of powdered splinter bean bark (50 Gms) and water (boiled). This should be applied liberally to the area which is infected and the symptoms of toe nail fungal infection would be resolved in two weeks.
