Natural health: Soft nails and herbal vinegars

There are no quick fixes when it comes to nails, as it takes around three months to grow a new nail, says Megan Sheppard.

Q. My nails have never been particularly strong or long, but in the past few months they have become very fragile and soft.

I take a calcium supplement daily, and have tried all sorts of preparations with no results. Is there anything you could suggest?
