Re: Rich / all : Tea Tree oil applied externally for ...

[Guest guest]

Yes, it does, mjh. Thanks. I have fungus on both great toes and

both thumbs for years now and haven't been able to get rid of it by

using Mycocide or the other major competing brand. And they're both

certainly more expensive than that 2-oz bottle of tea tree oil from

WalMart.

What about jojoba oil, mjh? No particular reason except that I just

noticed I had a teeny bottle I'd forgotten about. (I wonder why I

bought it!)

In any case, my skin is so dry, I think I do better with oils than

with alcohol.

Does that mean that I should avoid the nail areas when putting on skin

creams or oils, eg, after taking a shower or washing dishes? My skin

gets so dry, especially now in cold weather, I spend all my time

just " itching. "

I use virgin coconut oil on my skin after the shower: I figure its

healthy, it smells sweet and good, etc. But if you mix teatree and

cocnout oil on your nail you still won't get to the nailbed. Don't you

need a carrier like dmso to get it under the nail into the bed where

the fungus resides (if just on the surface of a nail, it would go away

as your nail grew out). I ask because I have one such nail, I've been

using tetrasil on it but sporadically, that does help but doesn't cure.

I never thot to use coconut oil on my hair as a conditioner--does it

leave it greasy? Do you wash it out afterwards? Please do tell

Thank you, mjh.

What exactly does " virgin, cold pressed " mean in reference to the

coconut oil?

<Add high quality cold pressed fats to your diet....... fish oil (not

cold pressed)>

I guess I have the same question, mjh. " cold pressed " ? And how is

that differentiated from something like fish oil?

More attention to my innards will reflect in my outers. Thank you,

mjh.

Fish requires heat or solvents, so it cannot be cold pressed.

Solvents? Ewwww, that sounds not good. But I s'pose a solvent can

be benign.

Thanks, mjh.
