"Vinegar, tea tree oil, corn meal paste, oregano oil - these were some of the natural treatments for toenail fungus I told you about in the e-Alert 'Get Off on the Right Foot' (8/4/05).
But the list doesn't stop there.
A member named Robert wrote to say that he'd tried one of the leading medications for toenail fungus with no success. And then... 'My dermatologist suggested Vicks VapoRub.... I tried it with 5 or 6 applications directly to the nail over 2 weeks and it worked!!! Several of my friends have had success with Vicks also.'
Judging from comments posted in the HSI Healthier Talk community forums, several HSI members have had good results using Vicks VapoRub, which contains eucalyptus oil and thymol (derived from thyme oil). These two ingredients are reputed to have anti-fungal properties."
Who would have guessed that the rub we all used for colds could also fight fungus?
