कुर्यात्पित्तानिलंपाकंनखमांसेसरुग्जवरम् l
चिप्पमक्षतरोगंचविद्यादुपनखंचतत् ll (अ.हृ.उ. ३१/२३) ll
Candida is a naturally occurring fungus that everyone has on their body. Under certain conditions, some types of Candida grow too fast and cause an infection to develop. This infection is known as Candidiasis which specifically affects the skin and nails. The most common species is Candida albicans which can cause infection in the nails, skin, and mucous membranes throughout the body.
It thrives in a warm and humid environment and a weak immune system or other conditions allow the infection to develop.
According to Ayurveda, nails are the byproduct of asthi dhatu (bones). If the bones are healthy, nails are healthy too. Asthi dhatu is primarily made from medo-dhatu (adipose tissue) and later asthi dhatu form majja – dhatu (nervous tissue).
Causes of Nail Candidiasis
Fungal infection is caused due to internal as well as external factors. Internal factors include such as chronic intestinal issues along with indigestion, diabetes, etc. The external factors include lack of hygiene, use of chemicals, injury, etc.
