What is the scientific name of henna? Can you treat onychomycosis?

There are many flowers with many aliases. Today I'm talking about henna, scientific name Impatiens, and its colors are white, pink and purple. At present, there are two main legends about it, one is used to dye nails and the other is used to treat onychomycosis!

Henna has strong viability, good adaptability and less general pests and diseases. If the temperature is high and the humidity is high, spraying 800 times of 50% thiophanate-methyl wettable powder can prevent powdery mildew. In case of leaf spot, 50% carbendazim wettable powder with 500 times solution can be used for control. The main pest of Impatiens balsamina is red moth, and its larvae will eat the leaves of Impatiens balsamina. If this pest is found, it can be captured and killed manually.

Let's talk about nail dyeing first.

Now nail polish is not expensive, so henna dyeing nails has basically been forgotten. In the era of material shortage, it is estimated to be more popular. Let's talk briefly about the method first. Add a little white sail or edible salt to henna, then mash it and apply it to your nails. Usually it can be colored in a day or so.

Treatment of onychomycosis with henna

Let's first look at an article in Southern Metropolis Daily. A proper amount of fresh impatiens (with roots and leaves) and a small piece of alum are mashed into mud. Before going to bed, apply the medicine mud to the affected nail, wrap it with gauze, and take it off the next morning once a day.

Impatiens balsamina, also known as henna, has the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, softening and detoxifying. Can be used for treating onychomycosis and paronychia. Light can be applied several times, and heavy can be effective after long-term use. If there is no alum, impatiens balsamina and vinegar, it will be good if it is mashed and applied externally to the affected area.

The prescriptions in this article are for reference only, and it is recommended to consult a professional doctor before application.

In addition, let's take a look at the case of online transmission. Let me repeat it briefly. Probably, a flower friend planted a pot of henna on his balcony. In the season when henna is in full bloom, he picks some salt every day and tamps it with gauze to apply it to the diseased nail, which lasts for several months. According to this method, another flower friend takes a proper amount of henna and salt before going to bed every night and chisels it and applies it to the diseased nail. Because there is no gauze, the plastic wrap and gauze used should be better, because it is more breathable, and it will be better later, but he added another process, that is, disinfecting shoes and socks every day.
