(Medical-NewsWire.com, September 19, 2014 ) Belleville, ILLINOIS (IL) -- Emmi's Essentials, a Vesta Brands Inc., product line, reports the month of August 2014 showed a significant rise in the purchases associated with the search term toenail fungus for its popular 100% Pure Australian Tea Tree Oil sold exclusively on Amazon.com.
Nail fungus, or onychomycosis, is a condition where the surface underneath nail, becomes infected after a microscopic fungus enters through a small hole or crack in the nail. Since it occurs more commonly on toenails, many refer to the condition as toenail fungus. Anybody can become infected, however, is more common in the elderly. The nail becomes thick and discolored. It can also be brittle, crumbly or ragged, and distorted in shape. Sometimes the infection is accompanied by pain.
Nail fungus can be spread from person to person. The fungus thrives in a warm, wet environment like locker rooms.
People can prevent nail fungus infections by:
-not walking in public areas barefoot
-keeping the inside of shoes clean and dry
-wear 100% cotton socks
-wear shoes that do not press on toes
-use an antifungal in shoes
There are several treatments available for toenail fungus. Oral antifungal drugs, such as Sporanox and Lamisil can be prescribed by a doctor. Side effects exist ranging from skin rashes to liver damage for oral antifungal drugs, however. Other treatments, such as medicated nail polish, medicated nail cream are also available. Some people choose to have the nail removed or laser treated.
An alternative medicine toenail fungus treatment includes Australian Tea Tree Essential Oil. Tea Tree Oil is a natural antifungal; it is a well-known combatant to the condition. In most cases, the infected nail can be treated twice daily with a few drops of the essential oil. Left untreated, toenail fungus can spread to other nails.
Representatives from Emmi's Essentials maintain that one possible reason for the upswing in sales is more people are looking for alternate natural solutions rather than traditional creams and oral antifungals.
