Answers:

Tea tree Oil is good but it is recommended that you use some others as well along with Tea Tree Oil. you may also need to take something internally to treat these infections.

The essential oil of sweet-smelling Lavendula officinalis (Lavender) may also be used as it contains active ingredients to soothe the nail, while promoting healthy nail growth.

Other herbs such as Cymbopogon citrates (Lemon Grass) are especially helpful for fungal infections while Syzygium aromaticum (Clove Oil) is considered an excellent antifungal and antibiotic essential oil. These natural ingredients may be used directly on the affected area to target the fungal infection on the spot. There are also herbs which can be taken internally for their anti-fungal and immune boosting properties. These include Pau d’Arco and Calendula officinalis..

A lot of nail fungus treatments contain tea tree oil, so it is a recommended treatment. However, nail fungus is often aggravated by bacterial infections so I would recommend using a specific nail fungus treatment.

I know Zetaclear and ClearZal both contain tea tree oil, together with other active ingredients. That way you get the best of both.
