Deep Penetration: Clove oil has a small molecular structure that allows it to soak into the nail bed better than many other topical supports.

Inhibits Growth: The eugenol helps neutralize the environment that fungus needs to thrive, effectively slowing its spread.

Soothing Comfort: It provides a mild numbing effect, which can help if the area around the nail feels tender or irritated.

Traditional Clove Oil Nail Application
To see the best results, consistency is key. Traditional wisdom suggests applying this blend twice daily until the new, healthy nail has completely grown out.

Ingredients:

5 drops of pure Clove essential oil.

1 tablespoon of a carrier oil (Olive oil or Virgin Coconut oil are excellent choices as they also have mild antimicrobial properties).

Optional: 2 drops of Oregano oil for an even more robust blend.

Instructions:

Prepare the Nail: Clean your feet or hands thoroughly and dry them completely. Moisture is the friend of fungus, so ensure the area is bone-dry.

Mix: Combine the clove oil and your chosen carrier oil in a small glass dropper bottle or a clean bowl.

Apply: Using a cotton swab, apply the oil mixture directly onto the affected nail and the skin immediately surrounding it.

Massage: Gently massage the oil into the cuticle and the edges of the nail to encourage deep absorption.

Wait: Let the oil sit and absorb for at least 10 to 15 minutes before putting on socks or gloves.

Practical Tips for Success
Trim Regularly: Keep the affected nail trimmed short and filed down (using a disposable file) to allow the oil to reach the nail bed more easily.

Patience is Key: Nails grow slowly. It may take several months to see the full transition to a clear nail, so stay diligent with your daily applications.

Patch Test: Before the first use, apply a small amount of the diluted oil to your inner wrist to ensure your skin doesn’t have a sensitive reaction to the eugenol.
