Nail fungus is medically known as onychomycosis. It commonly affects toenails as compared to fingernails. Though not a crippling affliction, fungal infection in the nails does cause discomfort or even irritability in the affected person when it penetrates into the deeper tissues and damages the nails. The nails become discolored, thick, and brittle with a tendency to break easily. The nail may get distorted, get out of shape and may get detached from the nail bed. Pain and swelling around the nail may occur.
Homeopathy offers a natural treatment for nail fungus cases. Homeopathic medicines are ideal for providing a complete cure for infected nails as they tackle the root cause. Being non-intrusive and non-toxic, this natural treatment delivers good results in case of nail fungal infections. It works to manage signs and symptoms of nail fungus and also help to heal the damaged distorted nails. Both acute and chronic cases of nail fungus respond wonderfully to homeopathic treatment. Mainstream medicines use antifungal pills or antifungal creams applied externally on affected nails. They show temporary results and can have side effects. Homeopathic treatment, on the other hand, is very safe and can be used for a long period without any side effects and gives permanent results.
Homeopathic medicines work by boosting the self-healing forces in the body. This helps the body fight fungal infection naturally and get rid of it entirely. To get the best results, proper treatment as prescribed by the homeopathic doctor needs to be followed. This is because the prescription varies from case to case as per individual’s signs and symptoms.
Homeopathy does not use any external medicated creams, rather it uses oral medicines that work on the internal body’s disturbance to fight the infection. This is advantageous because external medication suppresses the problem but the internal medicines address the underlying cause and bring complete recovery. It also helps to decrease the chances of recurrent infection.
Homeopathic treatment promises a safe and successful solution for fungal infection with zero side-effects. Homeopathic medicines work in a very gentle, harmless way and ensure complete recovery naturally.

Hi
I wondered which homeopathic remedy would be best for skin and nails? I’m in my late 40’s and think I’m in the pre menopausal stage in life, so experiencing various things. For example, bits of eczema popping up on my neck (used to suffer with when younger) and my nails appear very dry, some longitudinal ridges and white dry looking marks.
Wondering which homeopathic remedy to help?
Also where best to buy online that is good quality?
Many thanks! Lou Tedder

I have a Candida infection in my fingernails. I’ve been treating it with AC Vinegar (ACV) soaks and Tea Tree Oil (TTO)). I’ve been trimming away the new nail growth in order to allow the ACV and TTO to reach the infected nail bed. But by trimming away the new growth along with white, infected areas that continue to grow in from the tip, several of my nails have been trimmed back to the point that I have only half of the nail left. The cuticle (area where the half moon is) and the area around it are healthy. Should I not be concerned about the tip and just continue to remove the white areas and wait for the healthy nail to grow out from the cuticle? I don’t know whether the nails are healing or not. I’m so frustrated and desperately need your help.
Thank you in advance.

I have 2 conditions of the nail.
I have what I believe is called “Onycholysis”. There is a separation of the nail plate from the nail bed. It started on my big toe, and is now on 4 toes on one foot only.
I also have longitudinal ridges on all my finger nails , and big toes. I started this condition when in my 20’s.
I would like to try Homeopathic remedies for these conditions. I have tried many fungal remedies from the drug stores for the onycholysis. No help there!
What would you recommend? Where can I purchase the remedies you suggest?
Thank you so very much for your help.:)
