Saprox is a 100% natural anti-fungal clay rich in natural sulphur that offers many benefits to human skin. It is a thousands years old sediment from the bottom of an ancient glacial lake.
Saprox's significant healing effect is inhibiting and preventing growth of fungus and yeast. Saprox contains minerals and substances that are products of the decomposition process without oxygen of organic materials ( humic acids, elements of steroid and hormonal nature). These become an important part of Saprox's complex effect.
The anaerobic condition where Saprox exists prevents parasites, fungus and most bacteria from invading the mud deeming it safe to use on skin without open sores. Do not apply Saprox to an open bleeding skin wound. It is fine to use Saprox on small cracks formed by Tinea pedis (athelete's foot).
Saprox can be used on most external fungal infection successfully: **
• Tinea unguium (Toenail fungus) - mild
• Tinea versicolor
• Tinea cruris (Jock itch)
• Tinea pedis (Athlete's Foot)
• Tinea corporis (Ringworm)
• Tinea capitis (Ringworm of the scalp)
• Persistant foot odor
• Yeast
• ...and many other fungus type
Action: anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory. Contains minerals, humic acids, rich in organic sulphur. 100% natural - No additives.

PROPER APPLICATION OF SAPROX
Wash and dry application area thoroughly. Shake Saprox container well. Apply to affected area and beyond 100% additional to ensure effectiveness and prevent re-infection. This means if affected area is 1 inch in size, apply enough for 2 inches (exceptions noted below). The application should be an even green layer. Allow Saprox to completely dry which is about 15 minutes. Once dry, wash Saprox off in shower, sink or use a damp washcloth.
Exceptions: If fungus affects more than one toe or toenail, apply to all toes top and bottom to ensure proper treatment.
If fungus affects only one toe or toenail, apply to nail and surrounding skin.
If fungus affects the body of the foot, apply Saprox to entire foot top and bottom as the foot is a prime environment for fungus.
If application area is sensitive such as the face or groin, one may apply moisturizer afterwards. It is recommended not to apply moisturizer if not necessary; however, if skin becomes sensitive, then moisturizer must be used following each application. Applying a standard moisturizer may aggravate the condition so use Torf Facial Moisturizer as it is the proper skin pH, contains humic acids and does not encourage fungal growth.

Notes:
Tinea barbae: It is best to shave prior to application to ensure proper coverage of Saprox on affected areas. Treatment time will be less and outcome effective. If beard is left intact, then fungus may re-infect as complete coverage of affected area may not be possible. If shaving is not an option, pour necessary amount of Saprox to cover treatment area into a small bowl and dilute with a bit of water for a less muddy consistency. Use hands or put on large cloth and apply Saprox fully. Allow Saprox to dry and then shower off well as Saprox will adhere to the beard. Tinea versicolor: If Saprox dries too quickly, one may rewet the surface with a spray bottle. This allows the sulfur to penetrate more effectively for longer duration. Ideally have someone apply Saprox and rewet it for you to ensure proper coverage if on back or shoulders. Rewetting the Saprox once should be enough. Then allow to dry and wash off. Tinea pedis: If only one toe is affected, simply apply a small amount on directly on the affected area. Let dry and then wash off. If more than one toe is affected, apply to all toes to prevent cross-contamination. Purchase 100% cotton socks and spray shoes with 1 part bleach to 10 parts water. Wash white socks with bleach. Tinea cruris: If one is overweight and skin sweaty all day, it may be best to leave Saprox on all day. Purchase 100% cotton boxers for better breathability.
Example of a mild case of toenail fungus (Tinea Unguim) treated with Saprox bellow:
A mild case of Tinea Unguim beginning at the nail's edge - where most fungus begins due to either a moist alkaline environment or trauma. Trauma causes the nail bed to lift thereby allowing the critters to crawl under the nail and set up shop. (May '05)
Application: an even layer of Saprox clay is
applied to treated and surrounding areas
for 10 to 20 minutes, 1 to 2 times a day
Toenail after 3 months - mild case of Tinea unguim treated successfully using Saprox.
Fungus was killed and damaged nail had grown out. Longer application period may be required for more serious infections. (Sept '05)

Sulfur has antifungal, antibacterial, and keratolytic activity. In the past, its use was widespread in dermatological disorders such as acne vulgaris, rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis, dandruff, pityriasis versicolor, scabies, and warts. Adverse events associated with topically applied sulfur are rare and mainly involve mild application site reactions. Sulfur, used alone or in combination with agents such as sodium sulfacetamide or salicylic acid, has demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of many dermatological conditions.
A more severe case of toenail fungus currently treated with only Saprox. Client located in WA. Treatment in progress:
Photo taken at 10 days into the treatment: Notice the clearing at the base of the nail.
This suggests that the Saprox treatments is working.
Photo taken at 20 days into the treatment:
Notice the further clearing at the base of the nail. Also notice that the skin area around the nail is becoming healthier.
Photo taken about 30 days into the treatment:
As the nail continues to grow out, a healthy, clear area near the base grows noticeably bigger.
Photo taken about 40 days into the treatment:
Fungus under the nail seems dead. Saprox application was stopped. We'll continue to monitor further development.
Typical toenail application
Uniform layer of Saprox was applied to treated area for at least 15 minutes a day
