A Thumbs Up to Hypnosis, "Literally" Before Hypnosis After Hypnosis Hypnosis has always been an excellent alternative method to use when you want to get to the root of a problem. But what happens when the root of the problem isn't actually the initial cause of the problem. What then? Case in point my very own testimony. Over 15 years ago, while working in the construction industry. I injured my thumbnail. Honestly, I can't remember if it was due to the various times the hammer I was swinging missed and slipped and hit the thumb on my left hand. I'm not sure. Injuries happen all the time on construction sites and frankly after seeing so many old-timers throughout the years without thumbs because of table saw mishaps . I felt really fortunate. All I know is that one of those events had to be the initial root cause of my 15-year-old thumbnail problem. The nail had become detached from the nail-bed I spent years trying to fix it. Over time, the nail became yellow and ugly in its appearance. I was so self-conscious of it for the longest time. Yellowish color, hardening, and thickening of the nail made it even worse, a nail fungus issue . Over the years , I tried everything from over the counter fungus nail creams , solutions , even a few home remedies like soaking it in white vinegar . I found myself soon searching the internet for more home remedies to try.
