Telia Oils Toe and Foot Review

This is a review of the Toe and Foot antifungal nail treatment which is manufactured by Telia Oils. This product claims to kill fungal infections in and around your fingernails and toenails in fewer than four weeks. Read on to learn if this product is right for you and your symptoms.

Ingredients

This product is made from a blend of natural oils. The oils in this blend include:

Oregano oil is often taken to treat respiratory tract issues as well as gastrointestinal problems. It is said to treat intestinal parasites, allergies, sinus issues, cold symptoms and fatigue.

Tea tree oil is a very popular essential oil that is used for a wide variety of ailments and skin afflictions. It is commonly used for acne, cuts, scrapes, warts and fungal infections. It is said to have antibacterial, antifungal and antiseptic properties.

Echinacea is often used to treat infections and cold-like symptoms. People have used echinacea to treat skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, herpes, and wounds.

Chamomile is often used for people who are restless or have trouble sleeping. It has also been proven to be successful in reducing anxiety in people with anxiety disorders. It is occasionally used to treat skin irritations but its efficacy in this role has not been proven.

Dosage

The oil comes in a glass bottle and includes a brush so that it can be applied to the affected area. To use this oil, brush it onto the affected area twice a day, every day for four weeks. If this product is being used to treat the finger nails, make sure not to wash your hands or eat for up to 10 minutes so that the oil can be properly absorbed. If you experience a heat sensation after applying this medicine, this is normal and it will dissipate.

Possible Side Effects

Oregano oil is unsafe to take if you are pregnant or breastfeeding because there are concerns that too much oregano can cause a miscarriage. Oregano oil may also interact badly in people with bleeding disorders.

People who are allergic to the Lamicaea family which includes lavender, basil and sage may find that they have an allergy to oregano as well.

Echinacea is mostly safe for short term use. However, it may cause side effects in some people. These side effects include nausea, fever, vomiting, stomach pain, sore throat, dry mouth, headache, and dizziness. Echinacea may cause allergic reactions in people who are allergic to ragweed, daisies and marigolds.

If you have an auto-immune disease, avoid echinacea because it may have a negative effect on the immune system that will make your disorder worse.

If you have an allergic reaction to plants like ragweed, chamomile may cause you to have an allergic reaction. Chamomile can also cause eye irritation if it is near the eyes.

If you have a condition that is sensitive to changes in estrogen, it is best to avoid chamomile.

Price

This product is available on Amazon for $9.90 plus shipping. The size of the bottle is .33 ounces.

This product is not listed for sale on the manufacturer’s website. The website does not offer a return policy or guarantee for its products.

Guarantee

Conclusion

This product claims to offer a noticable improvement in fungal infections on the your nails in only a few days.

While this product is inexpensive, it is not sold by the manufacturer on their website. It also seems that this product is only suitable for treating one aspect of fungal infections and not the infection as a whole.

Crystal Foot Deodorant Spray Review

This is a review of Foot Deodorant Spray which is manufactured by Crystal. Foot Deodorant Spray is a deodorant, not an antiperspirant. It claims to prevent odors caused by athlete’s foot and other fungal infections. Read on to find out if this product is right for you and your symptoms.

 

Ingredients

The ingredients in the Foot Deodorant Spray are as follows:

  • Purified Water
  • Potassium Alum (Natural Mineral Salts)
  • Sodium Bicarbonate
  • Benzoic Acid
  • Zinc Gluconate

Natural mineral salts are a popular alternative to traditional deodorants that include aluminium. The odor from perspiration is not caused by the sweat itself but by the bacteria in your underarms or feet. The salts are said to work by killing the bacteria that cause odors. This is also why salt water is used to flush wounds, to kill bacteria to avoid infections. If you try to use this natural deodorant after you have already started to smell, it won’t help you, since it works as a preventative ingredient and it will not cover up existing smells.

This product does not contain any of the following ingredients:

  • Aluminum Chlorohydrate
  • Aluminum ZIrconium
  • Phthataltes
  • Parabens

Dosage

The instructions for use are to hold the bottle at least 5 inches away from the area you are trying to spray and then pump the bottle 2-3 times or more as necessary. The manufacturer suggests that you use this product daily after you shower. One application is said to prevent odor for 24 hours.

The spray is also safe to use all over the body.

Possible Side Effects

There are no discernible side effects from using this product. It is unscented and free of the harmful chemicals used in many antiperspirants and deodorants.

Crystal claims that this product is safe for use on children. It is also safe to use for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Price

Amazon has listed this product listed at $3.99 for a 4 oz bottle of Foot Deodorant Spray. The price for an 8 oz bottle of Foot Deodorant Spray is $7.89.

Guarantee

Crystal does not mention a guarantee on its website. The return policy will be adapted to the individual retailer. There are several positive reviews of the product both on the manufacturer’s website and on Amazon.

Conclusion

Crystal’s Natural Foot Deodorant Spray claims to help prevent odor coming from your feet by using a solution of natural crystals. There are many reviews on Amazon that support this claim and it is relatively inexpensive. However, there is no guarantee for this product. While it may help alleviate the bad smell caused by athlete’s foot, it does not suggest that it is a cure for athlete’s foot or other fungal diseases.

7 Steps for Ridding Yourself of Dry Feet

7 Steps for Ridding Yourself of Dry Feet

Don’t be ashamed. Scaly, dry, cracked feet plague many. Our feet are one of the most abused parts of our body. First, they are out in the elements, including wet mud puddles and a dry, baking sun. They also hold up our body as we walk or run. They’re busy!

A way to thank your feet for doing so much for you means that not only is it important to keep your feet in good shape so you look good in those new shoes, it is important for preventing fungal infections, like athlete’s foot. If the skin on your feet is cracked, you are leaving openings for yeasts or fungi to enter your skin.

7 Steps for Ridding Yourself of Dry FeetBefore undertaking this regiment, though, it is very important to contact your doctor if you are diabetic. Due to poor circulation to the lower extremities, diabetics are more likely to contract dangerous forms of fungal infections. Thus, treating foot conditions and dry skin should be done under the care of your physician.

Now let’s discuss what you need to get rid of dry feet. You probably already have most of it at home.

Items needed:

  • Wool or cotton socks
  • Towel
  • Pumice stone
  • Foot lotion
  • Something in which to soak your feet

Step 1: 

Before bed, put your feet in a tub of warm water and allow them to soak for 20 minutes. This will make the skin soft.

7 Steps for Ridding Yourself of Dry FeetStep 2: 

A pumice stone is a piece of porous rock that can be found in most beauty supply or drugstores. Using a pumice stone, rub the dead skin off of your feet. Make sure you are being gentle. You only want to get rid of the dead skin. Rubbing the stone back-and-forth is best.

You may need to repeat this process a few times if your feet are in really rough shape. Every day, rub your feet as much as possible before it starts to feel uncomfortable, and then start the process over again the following day.

Step 3:

Use cool water to rinse your feet.

Step 4:

This next step is very important for preventing infections. You need to make sure that you are cleaning your pumice stone after every use. Make sure you rinse the skin off using cool water. Keep your stone in a cool, open area so that it can dry. Consider buying a stone that already has a string on it. That way, it can hang somewhere where it is sure to dry faster.

7 Steps for Ridding Yourself of Dry FeetStep 5: 

Thoroughly dry your feet. Fungi love damp feet, so you want to make sure you are always keeping yours water-free.

Step 6:

Use a circular motion to massage the lotion onto your feet. Massaging your feet as you moisturize them can actually improve circulation of the blood. When buying your lotion, look for creams that are designed specifically for feet. These will be heavier creams that contain ingredients to help get rid of dry skin.

Step 7:

After your regiment, wear wool or cotton socks. These will hold the lotion to your skin to keep them moisturizing overnight. When you wake up, your feet should feel moisturized and smoother.

Kill Fungus Naturally with Herbs

Kill Fungus Naturally with Herbs

There are many reasons a person may contract an infection caused by fungi. These include poor personal hygiene, overusing antibiotics, or an immune deficiency. The most common infections are caused by fungi in the candida family. Candida albicans, for example, is the culprit behind yeast infections. Fungi thrive in moist, warm areas. For example, they are often found on the feet, especially on the skin between toes, under the arms, or in the genital area. If a fungal infection spreads, it can become fatal. Prescription medication usually cures the infection, but they can lead to irritation of the gastrointestinal system or the liver.

Luckily, many herbs can prevent fungal infections without side effects. However, it is important to talk to your physician before beginning an herbal regiment.Kill Fungus Naturally with Herbs

Olive Extracts

The Greeks honored the olive tree and used just about every part of it. Olive leaves and olive oil contain a chemical called oleuropein. Oleuropein has anti-fungal properties. It does not kill the yeast or fungi, but it stops reproduction and quickly reduces the risk of it spreading. Additionally, fungi and yeast require sugar, and oleuropein stabilizes and reduces blood sugars.

Garlic Cloves

Another herb valued by the Greeks was garlic. Garlic is best taken in its raw form to destroy fungi. It is especially powerful against candida. Garlic contains allicin, which protects the good bacteria found in the intestines while destroying bad and invasive fungi. Garlic can be taken in capsule form, eaten raw, or directly rubbed on external infections.

Oregano Oil

Oregano leaves produce an oil that is a strong antimicrobial. It is so strong, in fact, that it has to be diluted before you can safely use it. Otherwise, it may sting. The oil is made up of the chemicals thymol and carvarcol, both of which are good at killing candida infections. It can also wipe out fungus on the skin and nails. Athlete’s foot is the common name for these types of fungal infections.

Kill Fungus Naturally with HerbsCoconut Oil

Coconut oil is not only good at killing fungi, it is also a good laxative. This is important because you need to purge the negative microbes. Coconut oil is made up of caprylic and lauric acids. These are fatty acids that attack yeast and fungi directly. Coconut oil can be used internally, as a vaginal douche, for example. It can also be taken orally. Finally, it can be used on the skin to cure a fungal infection or simply be used as a moisturizer.

Goldenseal Root

Goldenseal root can treat burns and small cuts. It is also used as a disinfectant. Recent evidence also shows that goldenseal can be used as an antifungal or antiviral booster. Usually, though, goldenseal is used with other herbs as it can activate their positive effects. Goldenseal can be taken orally as a capsule or applied to the infection as an ointment.

Finally, it cannot be stressed enough that it is important to consult your doctor before taking herbs to cure infections, especially if you are pregnant, nursing or taking medication to treat another medical condition.

4 Herbs to Treat Fungal Infections

4 Herbs to Treat Fungal Skin Infections

Those who have suffered from jock itch or athlete’s foot know all too well that curing these infections can seem to take forever. Both are caused by fungi. Another illness caused by a fungus is yeast infections. A yeast infection crops up due to the fungus candida albicans. It will usually appear in the mucous membranes of the vagina or mouth. However, candida albicans can also lie in skin creases, especially if a person has diabetes, is taking antibiotics, or is overweight. The usual treatment for fungal skin infections is external creams and powders, many of which can be purchased over-the-counter. This treatment does not work for all types of fungi, though. For these, oral anti fungal medication will be necessary.

Another way to speed up healing is by taking herbs known to treat fungal skin infections. It is very important to first discuss these with your physician, especially if you are on any other medications.

4 Herbs to Treat Fungal Skin InfectionsChamomile

Chamomile is an annual flower that is often found in gardens because of its sweet smell and appearance. They look like daisies. Chamomile has been used as an herbal remedy for centuries. As soon as the plant blooms, the flower is picked to make creams, teas, capsules, and tinctures.

While chamomile is generally used as a sleep aid, it also has some properties that can wipe out fungi. To treat infections, consider drinking chamomile tea throughout the day. Also, you can place your teabag or any leftover tea on the infected areas.

As with all herbal remedies, it is important to discuss chamomile with your physician, and you should not use it if you take blood thinners, other sedatives or if you are pregnant.

Aloe Vera Juice

Aloe vera has also been used for thousands of years. As anyone who has had a sunburn knows, aloe vera is a gel that is inside the leaves of succulents. It is excellent for getting rid of fungal skin infections. The juice has also been put in drinks to help get rid of candida albicans infections. Aloe vera works by getting your white blood cells to attack the infection. As with chamomile, it is important to take aloe vera only after discussing it with your doctor. Those who have kidney or liver diseases and women who are nursing or pregnant should not take aloe vera.

4 Herbs to Treat Fungal Skin InfectionsThyme

A member of the mint family, thyme has an instantly recognizable scent. It has long been used  in herbal treatments and as a culinary spice. It is the leaves that are used as medicine. Thyme treats athlete’s foot and other fungal skin infections. It is generally administered in a tea, tincture, or capsule.

Thyme contains a chemical that strengthens skin proteins that will create a stronger barrier against fungi. As with other herbal supplements, be sure to contact your doctor to make sure you are using it properly. Also, thyme should not be used by those who suffer from duodenal ulcers or women who are pregnant.

Garlic

One of the best foods for treating and preventing fungal skin infections is garlic. It adds a pungent taste to food and has also been used as a medicine since ancient times. Fresh garlic contains a chemical called allicin that can wipe out fungi. Taking a 4,000 mcg or 5,000 mcg of a garlic supplement can completely eliminate a skin infection caused by the candida albicans fungus. Before taking a garlic supplement, you will want to consult your physician, especially if you are on blood thinners or pregnant.

Karite Gold Athlete’s Foot Review

This is a review of Karite Gold’s Athlete’s Foot cream. This product claims to help fight fungal infections like athlete’s foot. Read on to learn if this product is right for you and your symptoms.

 

Ingredients

There is no official ingredient information listed online but the description of the product notes that it is made of shea butter and infused with lavender and myrrh essential oils.

Shea butter is an excellent moisturiser which will soothe dry and flaky skin. Some studies have suggested that shea butter may help heal fungal infections but the studies are inconclusive.

Myrrh oil is more often used to stop swelling in the mouth. It is also sometimes used topically on wounds, boils and bed sores.

Lavender is often used to treat insomnia, depression and general nervousness. It is also used to treat many other things like migraines, alopecia, upset stomach, loss of appetite or nausea.

Dosage

The instructions on the Amazon listing state that you should apply a reasonable amount of the cream to the affected area three times a day. You should make sure that the shea butter reaches all of the affected areas on your skin by moving your hands in a circular motion when you put on the cream.

Possible Side Effects

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should consult your doctor before using this product. Myrrh has been known to stimulate the uterus and potentially cause a miscarriage.

Lavender oil is possibly unsafe for young boys who have not gone through puberty as it may stimulate abnormal hormones which cause abnormal breast growth.

Myrrh may cause rashes if it is applied directly to the skin. Large doses of myrrh are unsafe and if you exceed the recommended amount, you may experience kidney irritation or changes in your heart rate.

Price

Amazon lists this product as available for purchase from $21.95. The product description describes the jar as a 40 oz container but it is not clear how many doses that will provide.

Guarantee

The manufacturer does not list a guarantee for this product. There are no reviews available on Amazon for this product. The manufacturer’s website has not been located.

Conclusion

Karite Gold’s for Athlete’s Foot is a product that is made from pure shea butter which is an excellent moisturiser for the skin. However, there is very little information  provided by the manufacturer. It is unclear how shea butter would be effective in removing fungal infections like athlete’s foot. The added essential oils are not traditionally used to treat fungal infections either, as lavender is usually best suited as a product to help you relax. The description provided on Amazon states that shea butter has antifungal properties but it does not cite the study that this claim is backed by. There is not a full list of ingredients for this product provided by the manufacturer so it is unclear if there is another component that has been added to the shea butter to make it more effective.

Vertico Footwear Company Ped Powder Organic Foot Powder Review

In this review you will learn all there is to know about Vertico Footwear Company’s Ped Powder Organic Foot Powder. Vertico Footwear Company Ped Powder Organic Foot Powder claims to prevent fungal infections on your feet, like athlete’s foot. The product was originally designed for by travelers who spent days wearing their shoes in scorching temperatures. Read on to find out what we learned.

Ingredients

  • Sodium bicarbonate
  • Organic arrowroot
  • Essential oils

This powder is an entirely natural product, as the sodium bicarbonate used in Vertico Footwear Company Ped Powder Organic Foot Powder is naturally sourced. The cleaning properties of sodium bicarbonate, also known as baking soda, have been common knowledge for countless generations, and the substance is widely used as a deodorant. The arrowroot powder is usually extracted from the Maranta arudinacea plant, and it has been widely used as a disinfectant for centuries. Among the essential oils used, eucalyptus extract is the primary aromatic ingredient. There are also variants which utilize peppermint and camphor mint as their scent.

Dosage

The recommended dosage for Vertico Footwear Company Ped Powder Organic Foot Powder is a daily application on both of your feet, as well as whatever footwear and socks you will be wearing that day. Applying the product to footwear will also slow the rate at which the interior of the shoe degrades. The exact amount is not specified, however the description does recommend to treat the feet “generously”. The product is most effective when massaged into the skin as opposed to simply being sprinkled onto the surface. This is because the massage forces the powder into the pores and therefore it is sure to exact its effects.

Possible Side Effects

Sodium bicarbonate is slightly toxic and therefore extensive use and overdose may lead to certain negative side effects. Some users may also experience allergic reactions due to the presence of certain ingredients which contain allergens.

Price

Vertico Footwear Company Ped Powder Organic Foot Powder is available from several different re-sellers worldwide, and therefore has no set price. On Amazon, one 5 ounce bottle costs $9.99 plus shipping. There are no discounts for purchasing multiple bottles, nor are there any coupons available. Shipping fees vary depending on where you ship the product to.

Guarantee

Since Vertico Footwear Company Ped Powder Organic Foot Powder is available from multiple different re-sellers, there is no universal guarantee policy in place. Each seller may determine their own money-back policy, and with so many to choose from, you may find one that suits your needs.

Conclusion

Vertico Footwear Company Ped Powder Organic Foot Powder is an effective product with an efficient formula at a fair price. That being said, the lack of an official page on the manufacturer’s website is a downside. There is also the issue of a vague description of the ingredients as well as a lack of a universal guarantee policy. This is an issue because prospective customers are at the mercy of whichever re-seller ships to their particular region.

Ingredients

  • Miconazole Nitrate (2%)

After this, you must shake the can and spray some of the substance onto the skin. Efficient Laboratories Hongo Killer Antifungal Spray comes in a bottle that allows users to spray it at any angle, so all effected body parts may be easily treated. This process must be repeated twice a day, and the treatment of athlete’s foot must last a full month. Take note that the product must be kept out of children’s reach.

Possible Side Effects

The ingredients used in Efficient Laboratories Hongo Killer Antifungal Spray carry the risk of causing skin irritation for some users. However, this is rare.

Fungi Nail Toe and Foot Ointment Review

This review discusses the various factors of a product called Fungi Nail Toe and Foot Ointment. Fungi Nail Toe and Foot Ointment claims to eliminate all forms of fungal infections that can plague one’s feet. This product is specially designed to kill off all of the common types of fungus that can cause infections, such as athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), and ringworm (tinea corporis). It claims to treat the numerous, painful side effects that these ailments have, such as the burning sensation, itching, cracking of the skin, chafing and scaling on the feet. Continue reading if you are interested in finding out all there is to know about Fungi Nail Toe and Foot Ointment.

Ingredients

  • Zinc Undecylenate (20%)
  • Undecylenic Acid (5%)
  • Emulsifying Wax NF
  • Mineral Oil
  • Methylparaben
  • White Petrolatum
  • Propylparaben

The main active component found in Fungi Nail Toe and Foot Ointment is zinc undecylenate. This substance has been used to treat fungal infections for a very long time, and it is backed by extensive scientific research. The substance is a fatty acid that prevents fungus from growing. The addition of zinc helps treat the swelling, and other kinds of irritation caused by the fungus in question. Despite what the packaging might have you believe, this product is not intended to be used on either the scalp or on nails, as the active ingredient isn’t effective in these areas.

Dosage

Detailed instructions on how to use this particular product are freely available to assist any customers should they be at a loss as to how they should apply the cream. Fungi Nail Toe and Foot Ointment comes with a special brush that can help with applying the cream. One side has a wider angle to effectively treat the skin between the toes in the case of athlete’s foot treatment, while the other, a smaller tip is useful when applying the cream under the toenails. The surface area that you wish to treat with the cream must be cleaned and washed with care, and then completely dried. After this, the area must be covered by a not too thick layer of Fungi Nail Toe and Foot Ointment, and allowed to dry. Usually, you should apply the cream twice each day. It is best to use every morning and evening, for a period of 4 weeks.

Possible Side Effects

Due to some of the ingredients, it is possible that the usage of Fungi Nail Toe and Foot Ointment will result in skin irritation in some cases. However, this is rather rare. The cream must be kept away from the face and eyes, as well as from children.

Price

A 0.7 ounce tube of Fungi Nail Toe and Foot Ointment costs $8.99 with no additional shipping costs. There is also an offer for monthly subscriptions, which gives a 5% discount.

Guarantee

There is no guarantee policy determined by the manufacturer, which is suspicious to say the least.

Conclusion

Fungi Nail Toe and Foot Ointment is a decent product with an effective formula that is backed by extensive research. However, the price is significantly higher than other similar products, and with no guarantee in place, the high price becomes all the more troubling.

Equate Athlete’s Foot Powder Spray Review

In this review, you can read about a product called Equate Athlete’s Foot Powder Spray. Equate Athlete’s Foot Powder Spray is an anti-fungal disinfectant designed primarily to eliminate fungal infections, which effect the feet, such as athlete’s foot (tinea pedis) and ringworm (tinea corporis). The powder also effectively treats the symptoms of fungal infections, such as the cracking of skin, itchiness, burning sensations and chafing by eradicating almost all bacteria and fungal spores from the affected skin surface. Continue reading if you want to find out more about the ingredients, pricing and guarantee policy of Equate Athlete’s Foot Powder Spray.

Ingredients

  • Tolnaftate (1%)
  • Alcohol SD 40-B
  • Aluminum starch octenylsuccinate
  • Isobutane
  • Isopropyl myristate
  • Propane
  • Propylene carbonate
  • Sorbitan monooleate
  • Stearalkonium hectorite
  • Talc

The active ingredient found in Equate Athlete’s Foot Powder Spray called tolnaftate, is a synthetic compound designed specifically to eliminate various fungal infections. The substance can be acquired without a prescription and is available as a cream, powder, spray or in a liquid aerosol form. Tolnaftate works by inhibiting the production of a main component of the creation of new fungal membranes. The inclusion of aluminium starch octenyl succinate is unfortunate, as a large chunk of people are highly allergic to this metal, which will prevent them from being able to use this product in an effective manner. Since this is a spray, as opposed to an aerosol, it makes use of propellant gases to deliver the powder to the affected area. Unfortunately, it is just as common to have adverse side effects from propellant as it is from aluminium.

Dosage

Equate Athlete’s Foot Powder Spray has extensive instructions for use readily available both online and on the packaging. Before applying the powder, you must thoroughly clean the affected area, and dry it completely. Once these steps are done, you should apply a thin layer of the product, and massage it into the skin, so that it can eliminate any trace of the infection inside the pores, not only the treated surface. When used to cure an ongoing infection, it should be applied twice a day, for a stretch of four weeks. If the infection persists after this time, you must consult a doctor. It is also useful to apply Equate Athlete’s Foot Powder Spray to any shoes you might wear that day.

Possible Side Effects

Due to the presence of certain ingredients, most prominently aluminium, Equate Athlete’s Foot Powder Spray is prone to causing skin irritation. The propellant used causes discomfort in many cases. The risk of suffering from adverse side effects when using this product is very high.

Price

Equate Athlete’s Foot Powder Spray is available for $4.16 plus shipping from Amazon when you purchase a 4.6 ounce container. Prices may vary depending on the seller.

Guarantee

As is the case with most anti-fungal powders and sprays, the manufacturer does not handle distribution, therefore the customers are beholden to the refund policies of whichever re-seller they opt to order from.

Conclusion

Equate Athlete’s Foot Powder Spray is a cheap product, and detailed usage instructions are readily available for your convenience. However, the ingredients used are very dangerous, and the lack of a guarantee isn’t reassuring.
