Determining the difference between a nail disease and a nail disorder is
very important, because they are not the same and require different
types of attention.
The Basic Manicure/Pedicure Rule: If the nail or skin is infected,
inflamed, broken or swollen, do not work on it--particularly, if the cause
is unknown.
A disease or infection will have evidence of pus, inflammation and
infection. If an infection is present in the nail, your health advisor should
be consulted. Do not manicure/pedicure these nails.
A disorder is a condition caused by an injury or an imbalance in the
body.
The condition of one's nails and hair is often an outward manifestation
of inward nutrition. What we do to our bodies is one thing; how our
bodies respond is often based on the nutrients with which it has been
supplied. Neways has formulated several vitamin and mineral
supplements to support the body.

NAILS FILED TOO THIN:
A lady called concerning her finger nails which had been filed too thin by
a nail salon when they applied tips. She said the tips chipped off and
then she removed the rest of the salon's nail products only to find that
her nails had been filed so thin that it hurt to put her hands in water and
she was afraid of infection so she was using alcohol to keep them clean.
"What can I do?," was her question.
Answer: As was stated above, if disease or infection has set
in, your health advisor should be consulted. Do not manicure/pedicure
these nails. Fortunately, the nails will continue to grow; unfortunately
they grow slowly--1/8 inch per month or from the matrix to the free edge
in about 5-6 months for fingernails and 1/16 inch per month or 10-12
months for toenails, which grow slower but they grow thicker. Providing
the vitamins and minerals for optimum health is essential for beautiful
nails. (Vitamin and mineral deficiencies show up in the appearance and
health of the fingernails.) To strengthen the nails, consider taking
Maximol Solutions® and Omega3 EPA and Anatomix®. Massage Lush
Lashes & Nails between the cuticle and the first knuckle--where the new
nail grow takes place. And instead of using alcohol with it's potentially
harmful effects, consider massaging into the nail area 3 drops of each
Lavender Essential Oil, Tea Tree Essential Oil and Peppermint
Essential Oil combined in one tablespoon of Neways' Mixing Oil. And
protect the fingernails during the day (e.g., wear gloves while doing
housework).
