Euphorbia is used in folk medicine as a universal remedy in the fight against many diseases. The juice of this plant is also used in dermatology. Treatment of foot and nail fungus with milkweed is time-tested and proven to be effective.

How does euphorbia work from onychomycosis?
Nowadays, the beneficial properties of this plant are actively being introduced into official medicine. In dermatology, the agent can be prescribed in combination with traditional medicines to combat atopic dermatitis, eczema and fungal infections, including those affecting the feet and nails. This is due to the fact that when used externally, euphorbia effectively relieves inflammation, pain and itching.
These medicinal effects are due to the chemical composition of the plant. It contains tannins, alkaloids, resins, bitterness and other natural ingredients that have wound healing, antiseptic, analgesic and immunomodulatory effects. As a result of such a complex effect from the fungus of the foot and nails under the influence of milkweed, there is no chance of survival.
How is the treatment carried out?
There are few recipes based on this herbal remedy in traditional medicine, but they all successfully fight against mycosis and candidiasis of the feet. At the same time, various natural raw materials are used, which require an individual approach to independent use.
Before plucking a plant, it is important to comply with the conditions noted in the table. Otherwise, the effectiveness of the treatment will come to naught.
| Type of raw material | Preparation method |
|---|---|
| GRASS | Collected during the abundant flowering of the milkweed. It is chopped with a knife and dried outdoors in the shade. |
| JUICE | Collect only their freshly harvested raw materials by squeezing and subsequent evaporation in a water bath. After that, it is poured into glass vials and stored at room temperature in a dark place. |
| ROOTS | Dug in early spring, before the formation of leaves, or shortly before frost in the fall, when the plant has already dried up. The rhizomes are washed under running cold water and dried in the oven at low temperatures. |
Now let's look at how to use properly harvested plants in practice.
Milkweed juice. Grind fresh raw materials and squeeze juice out of it with gauze. Steam and pour the resulting product into a clean bottle, according to the requirements in the table.
Treat the nail plates affected by a fungal infection 2 times a day. It is more convenient to carry out the procedure with cotton swabs. The sap of the plant is applied to the nail tissue in a thin even layer without skipping individual areas.

To maximize the effect of the treatment, it is recommended to steam the feet in a soda-soap bath for 15 minutes and dry them thoroughly. The procedures are carried out every day until a healthy nail plate grows back.
Milkweed decoction. Pour a liter of boiling water over ½ cup of dried or fresh leaves of the plant. Soak the product additionally in a water bath for half an hour.
Strain the broth, cool slightly and pour into a basin. Steam feet affected by onychomycosis in a bath for 15 minutes. Then they are wiped dry and treated with an antifungal agent prescribed by a specialist.
Baths with milkweed decoction are recommended to be carried out in courses of 10 procedures with an interval of 2 days. Treatment continues until complete recovery.

It is important to make a new broth every time, since the finished product quickly loses its healing properties when it comes into contact with air.
Milkweed ointment. It is made from the ground root of the plant. For a 100 gram piece of high-quality butter, prepared without adding salt, take 1 teaspoon of vegetable powder. Stir the product thoroughly and use for application to the foci of onychomycosis 3 times a day. The recommended course of treatment is 1 month. Usually during this time it is possible to get rid of the nail fungus.
Use in children, pregnant and lactating
All recipes and preparations based on milkweed are prohibited in childhood. The baby's skin is sensitive to the effects of this plant, and even with a short contact with it, burns and allergic reactions easily occur. In this case, it is important, as soon as possible, to give the baby any antihistamine and rinse the skin with plenty of running water.
You can not use euphorbia from the fungus of toenails that has arisen on pregnant and lactating women. It is advisable to choose another, more gentle folk remedy that will help to cope with the infection as an alternative method.
Contraindications and side effects
If you use milkweed for a long time at home, this can lead to the appearance of inflammatory reactions in the nearby areas to the nail due to the strong irritant effect of the plant.
Exceeding the recommended proportions in the preparation of recipes based on this folk remedy becomes the cause of intoxication of the body with a risk of death.
It is forbidden to accidentally get milkweed juice on the mucous membrane of the eyes and healthy areas of the skin. This can cause severe burns.
Euphorbia is contraindicated in women during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as well as in case of hypersensitivity of the body to this plant.
Reviews
Alina, 25 years old. “Mom told me to use milkweed juice from nail fungus. I applied the product carefully with a cotton swab only on the affected area of the plate. The plant tore right at the dacha, collecting new raw materials every day. The main thing is to be careful and protect the skin of the hands and other parts of the body from its juice, otherwise burns are possible. In my case, the effect is obvious. "
Lydia Ivanovna, 47 years old. “Euphorbia is a well-known herb among the people, which is always nice to have in your medicine cabinet. With the help of trays from the decoction of the plant, I got rid of nail fungus in just a month. I recommend to all".
Marina, 34 years old. “Euphorbia is useful for various skin diseases, including onychomycosis. I believe that it is better to be treated in season with a freshly plucked plant, it is much more effective than baths of dried grass. Therefore, if summer is outside, do not waste time, euphorbia grows everywhere, and the effect of it is amazing and not only in dermatology. "
At the end of the article, I would like to note that all recipes based on milkweed are effective only at the early stage of onychomycosis, when the damage to the nail plate by the fungus does not exceed 30%. in other, more advanced cases, it is recommended to consult a doctor and choose a comprehensive treatment in the form of antimycotic ointments and tablets.
