Hello,
The essential oils to treat nail infections are teatree, eucalyptus radiata, lavender, lemon, Patchouli. It is necessary to keep the infected nail dry and away from water and detergent. So take precaution by using gloves, or bandage which will keep moisture away. Let the nail breathe and dont keep it bandaged all throughout. The following blend if applied daily three to four times a day will help the nail to get better. 4 drops of teatree, 3 drops of lemon and 3 drops of lavender. Apply to the nail with the help of a bud.
If there is inflammation, german chamomile can be used too. Later when the nail gets almost better, the same oil may be blended in 10ml of calendula and then used.
Supplementing your diet with Vitamin C will help heal the nail faster.
Give me your feedback. Be persistent and regular. You will definitely see results.
Blissfully yours,
In love & Light
