Nail Fungus

Nail fungus is quite common and affects fingernails and toenails. The fungus begins as a white or yellow-brown spot under the tip. As the infection goes deeper, the nail may thicken, become discolored, and crumble at the edges. It can affect one or more nails at a time. To help start the recovery process, apply Dr. Cole's Herbal Nail Fungus Formula around the edge of the affected toenails at least twice a day, and soak your feet in the Skin Fungus Salts.

Directions: Apply this balm very generously to clean, dry fingernails or toenails. May be applied 3 to 4 times daily. Best when used continually, at least once per day, together with Dr. Cole's Anti-Fungus Salt Soak.

Athlete's Foot

Athlete's foot is a fungal skin infection that usually starts between the toes. Athletes experience this because it typically is caused when feet become very sweaty while in tight-fitting shoes. It's contagious and is commonly found in showers, on locker room floors, and around swimming pools. Once an athlete has Athlete's Foot, it can be tricky to get rid of unless they use a product such as Dr. Cole's Athlete's Foot Formula, which has helped athletes overcome this issue in days instead of months!

Directions: Wash your feet thoroughly and dry them well. Apply a dime-sized amount to each foot. Also apply extra balm between toes and on the areas most irritated by the fungus. Apply at least once per day before bed to effectively eliminate foot fungus. Can apply 3 to 4 times per day for severe conditions.

Jock Itch

Jock itch is experienced by many athletes. It is a fungal infection that causes a red and itchy rash in warm and moist areas of the body. The rash often affects the groin and inner thighs and may be shaped like a ring. It is really difficult to keep the groin and inner thighs dry while exercising. Dr. Cole treated many clients who had jock itch and formulated Dr. Cole's Herbal Jock Itch Formula to help athletes get back to feeling comfortable rather than dealing with the rash.

Directions: Apply Jock Itch Balm 2 to 3 times daily during a flare up. Shower daily with an antibacterial soap and change underwear at least once or twice daily. Wear only 100% cotton underwear for best results.

Ringworm

Ringworm is a fungal infection that appears as a rash. It's usually an itchy, circular rash with clearer skin in the middle. Ringworm gets its name because of its appearance — no worm is involved. To help remedy ringworm, apply Dr. Cole's Organic Extraction Herbal Balm to the rash. Use a cotton swab or finger covered in a glove as ringworm is spread through direct contact.

Directions: Apply directly to targeted skin problem spots or to skin abnormalities. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Consult a healthcare provider if symptoms persist.

Yeast Infections

A yeast infection is caused by a common fungus that is found on everyone's body. People get yeast infections, usually in warm, moist parts of their bodies including under their arms, in their mouths, in skin folds, or in the groin area. Women can get it in their vaginas. For external yeast infections, it is recommended to soak in the Skin Fungal Salts at least once a day for 20 minutes and use Dr. Cole's Organic Skin Repair Herbal Balm or Cream in the morning and night. Apply the formula directly over the yeast infection. People usually start seeing results after one use.

Directions: Massage cream into the affected area.

How Transdermal Remedies Work

Transdermal is a big word that simply describes the process that happens when a substance enters the bloodstream through the skin. "Trans-" means across or beyond, and "-dermal" means "relating to the skin," especially the dermis. Put it all together, and you have "beyond the skin."

The dermis is the middle of three layers of skin that protect our body. It is a thick layer of tissue below the thin outer skin layer—the epidermis. The dermis contains capillaries, nerve endings, sweat glands, hair follicles and more. A lot happens in the dermis!

For many thousands of years, medicine men and women, shamans, and healers of all varieties—including regular people like us—have applied substances onto the skin to achieve therapeutic effects. Those beneficial effects range from being calmed, soothed, and relaxed, to being fully cured of an ailment.

In today's world, transdermal drug delivery is now an accepted alternative to oral delivery of drugs and to hypodermic injections. But, it wasn't always that way. The FDA first accepted this approach in 1979, less than 50 years ago. For the first two years, the only approved transdermal drug was scopolamine, used to combat nausea and vomiting caused by motion sickness.

Those of you who suffer from motion sickness are probably very familiar with the patches you can affix to your body a half an hour or so before flying or going deep-sea fishing. They've saved many wretched moments for people over the years.

Interestingly, scopolamine—also known as Devil's Breath—is a poisonous organic compound, obtained mainly from plants of the genus Scopolia. Like many drugs, scopolamine began its existence as a plant.

Dr. Cole first began learning about these very old healing herbs when she found herself having to deal with very sick people who could not take in oral medications of any kind because of their delicate digestive systems. She soon discovered after much experience that the use of transdermal applications of these powerful herbs could be just as effective, if not more so, than oral medications. That's because they bypass the digestive system getting right into the muscles and lymph system and then quickly into the circulatory system.
