Phytonail - cares for unsightly nails

Our Price: $42.00
Size: 4ml

Despite the fact that the human nail is naturally quite resistant it can be surprisingly susceptible to fungi and bacteria. As you get older, so the risk of infection increases. There are many causes (for instance too tight shoes, a build up of moisture in socks or sports shoes,poor circulatory systems or varicose veins) but the most common cause is physical injury to the nail that allows micro-organisms to enter the nail-bed. Usually the infection (onychomycosis) spreads from the nail tip, under the nail and down to the root. It provokes hyperkeratosis, a thickening of the skin, beneath the nail which lifts and allows dirt and dead cells to build up in the resulting space. That can cause an unpleasant odour as well as a thickened, yellow nail. Such infections don’t just look unpleasant! There is a real danger that the fungal infection will spread to neighbouring tissues. In extreme cases that can lead to amputation.

phytonail is the simple, natural solution to the problem:

• phytonail contains pure natural antifungal agents - Australian Blue Cypress, Lavender and Tea Tree oils, so there are no unwanted side effects that can sometimes occur with other antifungal applications.
• Unlike other products phytonail uses a unique, patented carrier system that allows the active ingredients to rapidly penetrate the nail in order to reach the site of infection - the nail bed. That means it goes to work fast - and, with daily use, the nail will visibly improve within a matter of weeks.
• It comes in a handy pen applicator (approx. 300 applications), is non-greasy, has a pleasant odour and dries within seconds so it's easy to use and discreet.

Active antifungal ingredients are:
- Australian Blue Cypress oil: (Callitris Intratropica) Traditionally used in healing by Aboriginals for thousands of years.
- Tea Tree oil: (Melaleuca Alternifolia) Particularly effective against infectious organisms like bacteria, viruses & fungi.
- Lavender oil: (Lavandula Angustifolia) Well known for its antiseptic and soothing properties.

The use of natural oils ensures that there are no unwanted side-effects. In most cases, providing phytonail is used daily following the instructions, there is visible improvement in a matter of weeks.

A comparative study looked at the carrier-system’s efficacy using four different antifungal agents when compared with a leading brand of treatment for onychomycosis. Over a 12-week period all the products using the carrier system achieved an average 95.1% fungal infection-free result versus a 70% success rate with the comparative product. The study also showed that natural ingredients (Tea Tree, Lavender and Australian Blue Cypress oils) were as effective as pharmaceuticals. In fact, one of the major benefits of phytonail is the user, and the medical practitioner or podiatrist, know exactly what is being applied.
