Tea tree oil for toe nail fungus

I read online that you can use tea tree oil to cure toe nail fungus and that its the #1 secret that all the scientists and pharmaceutical companies don't want you to know about so after years of living with disgusting toe nails that I have been ashamed of today I decided to do something about it. $10 for a 15 mL bottle of 100% organic tea tree oil at my local market, applied with a cue tip after taking a shower.
I'll update in the future and let the pub know how things go

I've read that it has pretty strong antifungal properties too (among others IIRC).
And while I don't have experience with nail problems (unless its from the same cause), I have used it (the essential oil, presumably like what you just got) to successfully get rid of ringworm and athletes foot (same thing/fungus, just different location).
Not long after that happened, I remembered about this soap and have used it ever since. I've never had to buy the essential oil again, and I used to get ringworm 1-2x a year, at least.

It's a pretty strong soap, though, and I know some people say it dries out there skin too much to use. And IME, it DID dry out my skin at first, but soon stopped, and now my skins less dry than it ever was before

Shit's good for everything, cleared up some nail fungus i had in no time, Within 10 days, cleared it all the way from cuticle. Also put it in our shampoo. Was demoing a house and had plenty of it around, we power washed the inside w/ tea tree oil, grapefruit seed extract, Orange extract, and a few others. Killed baby termites with it, broke the glue loose from granite counter tops...the shit is awesome for so much! Mold inspector turned me onto it. As you know bleach is ineffective in killing mycellia in wood..."bleach is best left for the kitchen and bathroom" Saved me so much money as well. I'm looking to see if anyone here disinfects anything w/ it? I know more big corporations are incorporating into their cleaning supplies for everything.
haha, i promise i don't work for any supliers... I truly believe in tea tree oil.

My go-to around the house is pinesol and comet, but I've run out a few times and used Dr. Bronners instead. Diluted of course
