Our finger and toenails can be our pride and joy – or a source of deep embarrassment! – to protect the tips of our fingers and toes, to grip objects firmly and even to protect ourselves in times of danger. But mostly we focus on the appearance of our nails. Whether you want long, elegant fashionable nails, or short, functional ones, nails are difficult to hide away when they are not looking their best!
It stands to reason that it is important to support nail health to prevent common flaking, thickening and discoloration. In fact, nail condition is a good reflection of our overall health.
What is nail fungus?
Fungal infections of the finger and toenails are very common and notoriously difficult to get rid of. Fungi are everywhere in our environment and can infect various parts of the body with different effects. When the nails become infected with a fungus they begin to look thickened and discolored. As the infection progresses and invades more of the nail, flaking, peeling and crumbling may occur.
In some instances the nail comes smoothly away from the underlying nail bed as a result of the fungal growth. These nails will not only look unsightly, but also have a tendency to smell unpleasant as the fungus grows and invades the tissue. Our nails are naturally built to be strong barriers, and resistant to fungi and other infections. However, because of how strong this barrier is, once nail fungus is present, it is sometimes very difficult to eliminate the infection.
Conventional treatment of fungal nail infections is expensive and long-term. Treatment may include topical preparations and/or oral anti-fungal medications. Nail fungus can be very stubborn to treat and people whose infection clears up often find that it returns soon after discontinuing the medication. Oral antifungals all have significant side-effects and interact with many other medications.
The natural way
Following a healthy nail care routine can go a long way to maintaining nail health. Firstly, a balanced diet will help to keep nails growing strong and healthy. Secondly, make sure that your nails have space to ‘breathe’ and do not become damp for long periods of time. Fungi love warm and moist environments to grow in. Tight footwear, especially when used for exercising, provides an ideal breeding ground for fungi, which can affect the nails. Communal showers are another place that fungi are commonly growing and being passed between various people’s feet and toenails. Any reason for reduced immune functioning will also predispose an individual to fungal infections of the nails, so efforts to support a healthy immune system will also help to maintain the health of your nails and nail beds.
Natural remedies have a wide range of applications for overall health, and can also be very effective in supporting the health of the nails.

"I have had a fungal infection on one of my big toenails for years now! Nothing worked to clear it up long term. I used oral anti-fungals, paint-on products and anything else I could find but the infection always returned. Your Nail-Rx is the best product I have found - not only did it treat the fungus effectively - the infection has not returned and it has been 3 months since I started using Nail-Rx!" - Candice
"A few months ago my toenails started to disintegrate before my eyes and looked positively disgusting- a pity because I have always thought my feet were the prettiest part of me! I showed my nails to my doctor who prescribed medication but after reading all the side-effects of the drug and how long I needed to take it for I thought I’d try something "natural" first. I tried Nail-Rx and it has sorted out the problem. My nails are starting to grow out now and the new growth looks smooth, pink and healthy. I’m so glad I found such a simple and safe solution to my nail problems- thank you!" Tara-Lynne
"I just started using Nail-Rx and can't believe the results. I will continue to use this product and can joyfully recommend it to anyone. Love it."Patti Barker
