Abstract: Infections of toe nails and finger nails caused by fungi and yeast are treated topically by applying a liquid mixture of natural ingredients to the infected area. The mixture includes the essential oils of between about 10 and about 17 ml. of tea tree; between about 10 and about 17 ml. of lavender oil, and between about 1 and about 3.5 ml. of eucalyptus oil in a total of 30 ml. of liquid. All of the ingredients preferably are pharmaceutical grade for the best results. The liquid mixture is typically applied to the affected area once or twice a day for a period of at least two months until the infection is cured. A few drops of the composition can also be placed into the toe box of shoes and the toe portion of slippers when not being worn to prevent re-infection.
Abstract: An antimicrobial composition and more particularly a germicidal spray for sanitizing and disinfecting surfaces including leather, wood, metal, plastic and fabric, comprises a mixture of essential oils capable of being dissolved or dispersed by a solvent in a water carrier, oils and an ionizing agent such as Blue Stone ions which speeds up the antimicrobial activity of the essential oils. The product of the invention is completely natural and non-toxic to adults and children even if swallowed.
Abstract: The provision of a lawn pesticide, its manufacturing process and pest extermination processes, that is water soluble, capable of being diluted in water, capable of being applied in concentrations appropriate to the environment of the treatment site and the development of the lawn, and can demonstrate prophylactic properties on lawns. The lawn pesticide is constituted from refined oils extracted from the botanical matter of the hinoki family and an amino acid derived surfactant solution, the two components are stirred and mixed, left to mature for at least two weeks at room temperature, and the refined oils extracted from the botanical matter of the hinoki family are uniformly dispersed in the water by the amino acid derived surfactants. The refined oils extracted from the botanical matter of the hinoki family contain substances such as hinoki thiol, which possesses antibacterial, bactericidal and insecticidal properties.
Abstract: Self-preserved nasal, inhalable and topical ophthalmic preparations and medications which destroy, inhibit or therapeutically significantly limit microbial growth within said preparations or medications. The nasal, inhalable, and topical ophthalmic preparations and medications are mildly buffered and maintain a stable pH at pH 3.5 or lower.
Abstract: Compositions for the treatment of fungal nail disease (onychomycosis), including camphor, menthol, eucalyptus and thymol are described. The ingredients are natural and very effective in treating the nail fungus.
