In recent years, every fifth inhabitant of the planet has been infected with fungi. And this is not surprising, because bacteria have become more resistant to changes in the external environment, develop favorably in all conditions and actively develop immunity to many active components of drugs. No person can be insured against this disease, because the fungus is easily transmitted from person to person, through towels, shoes, in the sauna, bathtub, on the beach, in the pool. Treatment of fungi with folk remedies has an excellent effect, especially in the early stages of mycosis.
The fungus may not enter the body if a person's immune system is functioning normally and there is no increased sweating. Treating fungi with folk remedies is no less effective than using pharmacological preparations, so if you notice the first symptoms of the disease, treatment should be started immediately to prevent the spread of the disease and its progression.
The first steps to take
- A specialist dermatologist or mycologist should be engaged in the diagnosis of the disease. To prevent the fungus from spreading to all feet and nails, it must be cured as soon as possible. Treatment with folk remedies is considered the most popular method of all available.
- The first symptom of the disease is that the color of the nail plate begins to change: it has become greenish-yellow. After a few weeks, the nail got a porous structure, it became too thick, and its color began to fade. The first phase in the treatment of the disease will consist of baths based on soap and soda. They contribute to the quick cleaning of the nail plate. Such baths should be performed every 7 days for 6 months. The patient himself will be able to perform this procedure. To do this, dilute the soda in hot water and add a little tar soap. The feet must be kept in this solution for 20 minutes.
- You can clean the nail plate and the skin of the feet with a strong concentration of tea tree. It is enough to apply it locally on the affected areas, for the purpose of prevention you can treat the whole leg. The effect of the drug is significantly enhanced if the nail is glued with adhesive tape or wrapped in a bandage around the entire foot.
- Traditional medicine suggests treating fungus with drugs. Some of them are taken orally, many are bought for topical application, but despite this, the folk remedy is becoming increasingly popular. Any infection on the feet disappears quickly.
