Does olive leaf extract help with fungus?

Asked 2 years ago

Hi, my husband has developed a fungus in his toenails. They are soft and crumbly and have gone all yellow. It looks really unpleasant, we're also worried that this fungus may lead to a foot infection, and we need something that will be effective. I have olive leaf extract in the cupboard. Will it work?

Olive leaf extract is great for killing toenail fungus when used topically or taken as a supplement, with supplements being more effective. If you decide to use it as a salve, apply it directly to the affected toenails once or twice a day and consider getting him some olive leaf extract supplements as well.

Studies have shown that olive leaf extract has anti-fungal properties making it useful in fighting a fungal infection. It works best when taken daily as a supplement, although it can also be applied topically. It has to be taken consistently to clear up toenail fungus and to prevent it from becoming a full-blown fungal foot infection. However, your husband should avoid olive leaf extract if he's on blood pressure or blood sugar medications as it may interact with them.
