Happy Nail (Whitefish, Montana) on 08/22/2009

After my immune system was lowered during recovery from surgery, a fungal infection took off in my big toenail. It started as a white mark and progressed into a nasty condition very quickly. I went to a foot doctor and he thought it was not recoverable and was getting ready to do some surgery. However, I opted first to try the medicated nail varnish. This didn't seem to do very much, so in addition to filing the surface of the nail to make it thinner and using the penlac, I started adding a few drops of lavendar oil on a fabric bandaid and would place this on my toenail every day. Very soon I could clearly see new nail starting to grow. This cured the problem! It took a long time, but the bandaid with lavendar oil was quick to do in the morning, and after the months it took for the nail to grow out, it worked and I now have a healthy toenail again :)
EC: Penlac is a topical prescription medication for nail fungus...

The last time I had problems with toe nail fungus, I had to have my liver checked because of the medication "could cause liver damage".. When the toe nail fungus returned, I took the advise of my brother and used pure lavender oil to get rid of my toe nail fungus. Worked GREAT!

We took our new rescue dog for his first check up today, coming home with a prescription for his ear fungus. I am wondering if a drop or two of my lavender oil would work just as well, or even better then the prescription medication. Does anyone know, or has heard of lavender oil getting rid of ear fungus in dogs?
