I have fungus in my left toe nails. The inner nail skin has become thick and white. What should I apply?

Have you hurt yourself with anything heavy ? Loss of blood flow / clot can temporarily cause this. This nail will fall off and new one will grow.

Conditions that can create such issues causing lack of proper blood flow and an acidic environment. The  thick and toxic blood can cause accumulation of toxins in the legs as heart will find it challenging to pump the viscous blood which has all kinds of toxins that it’s carrying all over the body and depositing it in places. 

• Stay on fruit juices all morning .

• Freeing the body off digestion every few days - fasting on juices all day

Hello Jyoti,

Fungal infection can occur anywhere in the body and it is common throughout much of the natural world. Fungal infection on the body occurs when an infecting fungus takes over an area of the body and is too much to fight for the immune system.
Whenever a fungal infection occurs on the skin, it results in changes in the skin including red and possibly cracking or peeling skin, itching, etc.

What can be done?

• Make a paste of garlic and mix it with coconut oil. Apply it on the area of infection. Cover it with gauze and leave for 2 hours. After 2 hours, rinse it with water. If there is any sensitivity to the skin like redness then wash the paste immediately. 
• Take fresh aloe vera gel and apply it on the affected area. Aloe vera has antibacterial, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.
• Apply coconut oil on the affected part.
• Any microbial infection mainly results due to unhygienic conditions. So, keep the body clean. Use soap with warm water to wash the infected area of the skin.

Use turmeric

Turmeric is a popular spice and it is also known for its anti-inflammatory properties. 

Take turmeric in the diet in the form of tea. You can also add turmeric to your meals to reap the benefits. 

For external applications, mix turmeric with water or coconut oil and apply it on the affected part. Leave it to dry and then rinse it off.

Some other tips

• Never share your clothes, towel and utensils with anyone.
• Take a shower immediately after sports or any exercises.
• Keep toenails and fingernails clipped and clean.

Diet

• Always eat natural plant-based foods in your diet.
• Avoid processed, packaged, oily and spicy foods as this may increase the skin problem.
• Have turmeric tea and add turmeric in meals.

Yoga

Practice deep breathing exercises regularly, like anulom-vilom pranayam and bhramri pranayam. This will help to increase blood circulation in the body and resolve the problem. 

Sleep

Sleeping pattern is very important. Our body repairs damaged cells while we sleep. So, take proper sleep daily for at least 7-8 hours. Sleep early at night and also wake up early in the morning. 

Thank you 

नमस्ते ,
गलत खानपान, अनियमित दिनचर्या, गंदेे स्थान पर नंगे पैर चलने की वजह से फंगल इंफेक्शन हो जाते हैं।
