Infested Yoga Mats and Flip-Flops - Toenail Fungus Prevention and Treatment

 

Toenail fungus treatment is hard work. It is not impossible, but let us repeat, it is hard work. For one, fungi are basically hard to treat because it is tenacious. This is just a basic function of fungi.

 

If we observe wood-rooting fungi in the wild, we will notice that they simply devastate the host trees. Dead trees are thoroughly decayed by the presence of fungi.

 

Fungi itself can dig deep into the cambium of wood and render hardwood into mush. Now imagine this power of fungi, and imagine its effects on the human nails.

 

 

Understanding the Action of Fungi

 

Fungi shares characteristics of both plants and animals. It is plant-like because it uses spores and roots. The structure of fungi is plant-like as well. It has roots, a main body and a head or umbrella.

 

To propagate itself in the immediate environment, it shoots out spores. Spores are mini-fungi enclosed in pollen-like encasings.

 

Now if these spores find a suitable environment, like a damp and warm human foot they immediately take root.

 

The foot is often encased inside shoes. The inside of shoes is warmer than the immediate environment. This heats up the skin and produces moisture.

 

Fungi feed on moisture. Actually, you would not find regular mushroom varieties in desert biomes. But you would find the Amazon teeming with fungi spores.

 

 

Your Yoga Mat is Deadly, and so are Your Flip-Flops

 

If you like yoga or similar stretching disciplines, you probably have invested in a rubber mat. The rubber mat allows you to do your contortions on the gym floor.

 

Many people think that gym mats or yoga mats are such great things. They keep you clean, and they dry naturally. The problem is that many people do not even wash their yoga mats anymore. Did you know that per square inch, your own yoga mat could already have 100,000 bacteria?

 

As for fungi, did you know that a sizeable colony could already be hiding at the very surface? You can get toenail fungus infections from your own yoga mats and your flip-flops. Flip-flops are used in public baths and toilets, which makes it another hotbed.

 

The only answer to this is proper disinfection and proper drying.

 

 

Toenail Fungus Home Treatment

 

Now let us assume that you already are suffering from toenail fungus. Problem is, you do not like oral medications. And you do not like Lamisil. Alright, if you do not like Lamisil you can go natural on your toenail fungus.

 

First purchase mineral oil and tea-tree oil. Combine the two oils and submerge your feet in the mixture. The mineral oil is just a medium. It softens the outer surfaces and makes it easier for the tea tree oil to penetrate.

 

You might be wondering why mineral oil is used at all. For one, tea tree oil is expensive if used everyday in undiluted portions.

 

Therefore, what we can do is to let another oil do the task of submerging completely the toes. The tea tree oil kills fungi and some bacteria. Used properly, the tea tree oil can destroy the fungi hiding deep in the nails.
