Cures For Nail Fungus Using Common Household Products
If you have a mild case of nail fungus, a pricey doctor's visit may not be necessary. There are several home remedies you can try to stop the fungal infection before it spreads. The sooner you can stop the spread of toenail fungus, the better.
• Apple Cider Vinegar. Soak your feet for 20 minutes in equal parts of Apple Cider Vinegar and warm water. Clean and wipe your toes with a dry towel and repeat this 2 times per day until you fungal infection disappears.
• Tea Tree Oil. A natural antiseptic, dip a clean cloth or cotton ball in tea tree oil and rub your toenails 2-3 times per day until the infection subsides.
• Rubbing Alcohol. A staple in every home, soak your toes in rubbing alcohol 2 times a day for 20 minutes each. Then with a clean towel, dry your toes thoroughly. Repeat until the toenail fungus is gone.
• Hydrogen Peroxide. Another staple in any medicine cabinet, soak the affected toenails in hydrogen peroxide for 20 minutes. Do this twice per day, and then dry with a clean towel. If the hydrogen peroxide proves to be too harsh for you, you can mix the hydrogen peroxide with equal parts warm water.
• Listerine. Listerine is good for more than just mouthwash. Again, soak your toes for 20 minutes, 2 times per day. The antiseptic in the mouthwash will kill the fungal infection.
• Vicks VapoRub. The effects of Vicks VapoRub and toenail fungus are not consistent. It works for some better than others. Rub Vicks on your affected toenail and wrap with gauze a couple times per day. Vicks has shown to stop fungal growth, but not eradicate it. If you are looking for a home remedy for toenail fungus, this should be a last resort.
If these home remedies do not work in eliminating your toenail fungus, you will need to see a doctor or take other medicated treatments to cure your toenail fungus.
