Guest guest Posted August 23, 2002 Report Share Posted August 23, 2002 Does anyone have a topical formula that they have used successfully for toenail or fingernail fungus? This particular patient is fairly unremarkable; female, mid-50's, slight blood deficiency. However, occasionally she has a flare-up of fungus under her right thumb, and then the nail falls off and eventually grows back. This happens 2-3 times per year. I've been unable to find anything about nail fungus in my TCM dermatology books, so any input is appreciated. Wendy Goldman Finance - Get real-time stock quotes http://finance.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2002 Report Share Posted August 25, 2002 Hi, here are some from my dermatology book for external use from the chapter on 'nail tinea': 30g Huo xiang 10g Huang jing 12g Da huang 12g Zhao fan soak in 1000g vinegar for 5-7 days soak nails 2-3 times/day for 20-30 minutes 9g Da feng zi ren 9g Hua jiao 9g Xian feng xian hua 15g Zhai jia 15g Tu jin pi 6g di gu pi 11g Huo xiang 12g Ming fan 100g Vinegar 18g Jing jie, Fang feng, da feng zi 15g Zao jiao (ci), hong hua, di gu pi 12g Ming fan 1500g Vinegar 30g Zao jiao ci, Bai feng xian hua 15g Hua jiao 250g vinegar Treating the pathomechanism that blocks the meridian which in turn leads to tinea would lead to a more stable status than just treating her nail. Usually a Blood/Qi/Cold/Phlegm stasis on a yin/qi deficiency basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
