And we all know how easy it is for feet to provide such conditions with excessive sweating, keeping our feet confined in shoes for long periods of time and then perhaps not washing and drying them properly at the end of the day. Nail fungus is mostly caused by dermatophytes – microscopic organisms that grow under the nail bed and thrive in warm, damp conditions. But would that be such a hardship? Carry out your foot sunning on grass or perhaps a sandy shore and you get triple benefits – a treatment for nail fungus, attractive tanned feet and all the good things that come with grounding or earthing! What is nail fungus?

You might have to use this method for several months or the whole of the summer. The treatment you use to treat your nail fungus needs some help and the regular sunlight to the feet provides the best rescue plan. Nail fungus is a very stubborn condition because it lives deep under the nail and not on the nail's surface - with the infection growing off as a healthy nail grows in. UVB from the sun is a very potent germicidal agent and, if you suffer from a common and chronic nail infection known as onychomycosis, you could find a daily dose of sunlight (between the hours of 10am and 2pm when UVB rays come to the fore) would finally get rid of your problem.
