Asians are also infected by toenail fungus but have different methods of eliminating it. Two of the many types of Asian toenail fungus remedies are acupuncture and alum powder. Acupuncture was adopted by other Asian countries like Japan and Korea from China, and believed to heal diverse range of illnesses. Fine point needles are tactically inserted at different parts of the body to lighten pain or to cure certain disorders. Traditional theory is acupuncture points are located where the chi or fundamental energy flows. Dysfunctions of the liver and heart are outwardly evident through diseases like toenail fungus and yellow nails. Internal organs are first examined in treating toenail fungus to determine the origin of the infection. Diagnosing the internal origin and treating it through application of acupuncture points on certain places of the body will eliminate both internal disease and fungal infection. Alum crystals are also used as Asian toenail fungus remedies by crushing into powder form, added to water to make a soaking solution. Add three tablespoons of alum powder for every liter of water. Soak feet in the alum solution for fifteen to twenty minutes, three times daily. The soak also relieves excessive sweating and the bad odor caused by the infection. Southeast Asian countries like the Philippines utilize alum crystals as deodorant, antiperspirant and heals mouth sores in a short time.

Other Asian alternative toenail fungus remedies comprise of application of red curry or tumeric pastes on infected nail. These unconventional treatments are not clinically proven to eliminate nail fungal infection. Natural toenail fungus remedies are scientifically proven to eliminate fungal and bacterial infections with essential and pure oils as ingredients. An essential oil utilized for its antifungal and preserving qualities in Indian Ayurvedic medicine is Lemongrass oil, also found in natural nail fungal cures. Modern medicine do not acknowledge Asian toenail fungus remedies such as acupuncture due to lack of clinical and anatomical foundation. The choice of using these nail fungus cures is a personal preference. Slight pain from needle points and soaking feet three times a day are inconveniences that one must withstand when using these cures.
