Reviews

Marina, 34 years old. “For a long time I could not get rid of onychomycosis with drugs prescribed by a dermatologist, completely neglected the disease, almost lost my nails. After contacting a homeopath, treatment with Silicea peas was selected, in addition, the doctor advised to make baths for the feet, remove the affected tissues from the plates and treat them with 10% iodine. I waited for a positive result for a long time, and when I was already desperate in therapy, I saw that healthy nails began to grow back. Almost a year has passed since I turned to a homeopath, and today I can say that I have got rid of this disease. "

Julia, 26 years old. “In our family, everyone tries to be treated with natural remedies. In general, I also tried to connect all possible drugs for nail fungus - from herbal medicine to homeopathy. The specialist picked up Antimonium krudum in the form of monotherapy. I took it strictly according to the scheme. In the first month, there was no improvement - the nails also grew sick, exfoliated, in addition, the itching around the cuticle intensified. I already wanted to give up therapy and buy a classic antifungal drug at the pharmacy, but my mother dissuaded me. After 2 months, the situation has improved. It took about another six months for the final recovery. Anyone who decides to go my way, I advise you to be patient. "

Do not take homeopathy as a panacea for nail fungus. We must not forget that there are other ways of dealing with it, no less effective and successful. The choice of this or that treatment in any case must be carried out under the supervision of a specialist.
